どうもです。
夏真っ盛りのこの時期、セントラルパークやブライアントパークでは
野外で無料の映画イベントがあったり、花火があったり楽しむ事に
事欠きません。
東京の世田谷区程度の大きさしかないそうですが、
どこに行くにも交通の便が良く、え、歩いて行けたのに、なんで地下鉄乗ってんの的な
事もしばしば起きるマンハッタン最高。（この時期付き合いはほどほどに控えましょうね〜）
僕は最近２回ほどニューヨークならではの印象的なハウスミュージックの
パーティに行って楽しんできましたよ〜。
１つは、一時は日本でもハードハウス界で神格化されるぐらいの勢いがあった
JUNIOR VASQUESのCieloでのパーティ。
１０年ぐらい前は僕も日本での初プレイを聞くために、一万円の前売りを長時間ならんで買ったぐらい大好きなDJでした。
NYでは人気が無くなってしまったと聞いてはいましたが、元ファンだったら行けよ、行けば分かるさと言うという事と、しかもなんとこの日は１２時まで入ると無料。。。。ギリギリ１２時になんとか間に合い、無料で入りました。。。
なんと推定年齢７０歳の高齢なジュニアですが、シエロのクリアなサウンドとジュニアの選曲は最高にマッチしていて凄い格好良かったです。
何が良いかって、かけるトラックは全て激シブ、呪文系。後半のゲイライクなヴォーカル物中心のプレイも健在でやっぱ最高だわーと思いました。でも早い時間から店内がガラガラになってくるのをみるのは寂しいなぁーと思いました。
写真の通り、全盛期客層の中心だった、ムキムキマッチョな白人ゲイたちが全然居ない事が原因でしょうけど、それでもニューヨークで今も定期的にイベントをできる事自体が別格。
２つ目のイベントは、DANNY KRIVITによる毎年恒例の約３００人限定でボートを貸し切っての船上パーティ。よる８時にウエストミッドサイドPIER88を出発しマンハッタン島の周りを４時間の予定でクルージング。もちろん船上でのパーティ初体験の楽しさとダニーの選曲、プラス観光地巡りができたので言う事無し。
途中、自由の女神付近を通った時、みんなが写真とろうとしたため、船が一方に傾きビビリました。ダニーがマイクで注意してたのが面白かったです。
美しいブルックリンブリッジと滝っす！！
Hi
As the summer festivals in NY, it offers many outdoor programs.
like free movie event in Central park and Bryant Park,
also fire works at many locations.
I heard that the scale of Manhattan is the same as scale of Setagaya City in Tokyo.
so that, I can get easily anywhere of Manhattan by subway.
In many ways, I might not need to even take a subway.
Lately, I went clubbing two times, both of two times were very special and impressive party.
The one of them was the event of Junior Vasques@Cielo, who was considered as the king of Hard House Music scene.
Back in the day, for the first time when Junior came over to Japan to play DJ,
I went out of my way to wait in long line to buy an expensive ticket for his DJ.
I hard that his DJ became less popular these days in NY, also it was free that if you were be able to get into Cielo until 12AM, so I got there in the nick of time.
Even though the fact that he is already 70 years old, but his DJ style and Cielo's sound system were best combination. but I felt really sad to see that there weren't bigger crowd than I had imaged.
As you can see in pic, it obvious that there no gay people who were die hard audience at the time in 90's. I assumed that that is the reason of now the few audience in his party.
Speaking of second party,
that was held on the board and DJ was Danny krivit.
the board left from west mid side of Manhattan by 8PM,
came back to the same place that we left on.
It was the great experience to me, and I had a lot of fun, because, not only the reason that I heard Danny's play for the fist time, also the fact that I had heard music on the board for the first time.
in addition, I took many picture around of NY.such as the statue of Liberty and all that.
another interesting moment was that when the board passed by near the statue of Liberty, everybody on the board wanted take picture of it, in the result the board tip to one side!!
