I have no idea what a Toyota Antics is but I assume based on my knowlage of what a Toyota is that it is a car.  I don’t really care.  All I know is that Prince Terrance was DJing a party at Grand Central in Miami and last time I was there I met some of the hottest girls I have ever seen in my life. They both happened to be from Georgia but still I figured it couldn’t hurt to go back to Grand Central.  This turned out to be the only real party I shot while I was in Miami. I went to a bunch that I didn’t shoot and I shot some stuff that wasn’t crazy night club stuff, but this was the only real party I did all week. I caught Phantogram and Twin Shadow but unfortunately I missed Flosstradaums. I don’t know that guy but he got me into a party at SXSW so I figured the least I could do was come see him do his thing. But I went to Bar with Terry for a minute and never came back.

Twin Shadow were the highlight of the thing and Terry kept telling me they are the next big thing and that we would be glad later that we saw them now.  He described them as the Smith’s but less dancy which sounded like a horrible idea but they actually were pretty good.

After I went to Bar with Terry I decided that I should call it an early night and go figure out a way to edit my photos so I could send them to the Miami New Times.  I left my USB cord at home and I hadn’t found one while I was in Miami yet so I figured that 4:30 AM on a Thursday night was the right time to go find one. I tried Wallgreen’s with no luck and then I tried a CVS. They didn’t have one either. I asked the guy behind the counter and he didn’t seem to interested in helping until he found out I was a Miami Dolphins fan.  I asked him if I could buy a scanner they were selling and return it after I used the USB cord. He told me if I came back in under an hour I could just pull the cord out of the box and borrow it. I did him one better. I went to my rental car and brought back my computer and my camera and I dumped the images at the counter in the store. It was just me, my computer, the clerk and a half asleep security guard at nearly 5am in the morning.

By 8 am I had edited and turned in all my images and I was ready to sleep for a few hours and hit Miami again in the afternoon.  Good times.
