Back from Miami/WMC and wow… what a week. The sheer amount of parties, deejays and people all in one area is amazing… and great for the culture. I started my week off at the Sony Ericsson Kick Off party at Liv (maybe the best club in America). It was insane to say the least, and had a special performance by Pharrell and N.E.R.D.
