Finally I am ready to start dropping some sweet Miami pictures on you.  Honestly my Miami trip was a bit disappointing from a productivity standpoint. I only have 6 galleries total and only 4 of them art Basel related. We have one Miami Dolphins related gallery and one half naked girl gallery as well as the parties. Many of the clubs I partied in were no cameras inside and I don’t have the hook up in Miami like I do in NYC so I sort of had to just go a long for the ride. I had some adventures though and I might have to tell you a few stories while showing you the pictures.

My first night in Miami was Wednesday. It was pre Art Basel and I got into Miami probably around 11pm. I met the girl I was staying at at Liv. Mark Ronson was DJing. She told me not to bring my camera in which was ultimately a mistake because tons of people were shooting. It was so fucking hectic in there I spent a lot of time wanting to leave so I never actually thought about going back for my camera. By the time I realized I was having fun in there it was too late and that part of the night went undocumented. What was weird about Liv is that there were so many damn people I knew there. A lot of New Yorkers in town for Basel but a lot of other Miami cats that I have run into over the years.  It ended up being a lot of fun.

After I headed over to Purdy Lounge which is pretty much a dive bar. They have a pool table and couches and that shit and it was pretty empty when I got there. But evidently that place is the normal Wednesday late night hang out spot because by 4am that place was packed and people were getting crazy. I ran and grabbed my camera but by that time it was nearly 5am and last call was ontop of us. Still I managed to meet some babes and take a few pictures which you will see below.

As we gathered outside the club to find the next party I saw Simon Rex aka Dirty Nasty outside. I met him at Sundance a few years ago and we have some mutual friends so I sort of knew who he was. All these girls were throwing themselves at him which was pretty funny to watch.  He was looking for Mark Ronson who showed up to the party late and was inside.  At some point everyone decided to go back to my boy Blu Jemz hotel room and I ended up driving Jemz, Dirty Nasty and Mark Ronson and my Miami roommate Malika to a hotel after party 5:30am.  The after party is probably best not mentioned for the interests of everyone involved but I will say that it was really funny to hear people kissing Mark Ronson’s ass who just an hour ago were talking shit about his DJ set at LIV.  I got home around 8 am. What a life we lead…
