just came back from 26 days there!!!!!!!!!!!!! For some reason I got a ton of emails from ppl asking questions so heres my 2 cents: Stay in Playa D'Embossa - 15 min walk to Space & Bora Bora and 10 min walk to Ibizatown....right in the middle of them (you have to take a bus/cab/car to San An regarldless, so u might as well be in the middle of the other 2 areas) We stayed at an GREAT hotel (for the price - 2 star but a lot better than you would expect for $45.00 a night!!) - big room w/ hugeee balcony, amazing view, kitchen, etc. Its called Central Playa on Carrer de Galicia. They were very cool and it was a perfect location. Just be sure to ask for a STUDI0 for 2-3 ppl, the double rooms are the teeny ones. Also, dont just go for 7 or 10 days, if you can add another week. We went for 25 nights (had to add another due to the attacks) and it was perfect - we were able to take a few days off and just relax every time we got burnt out. You dont feel like you have to cram everything in, as you would if you go for a week or even 10 days. There are 58 beaches, 10 large clubs, 1000 restaurants and bars, and a dozen places to drive/visit around the island....and the heat and drinking/drugs does wear you out. I would say 2 weeks is a perfect amt of time (think about it, the plane ticket is about $8-900 regardless of how long u go) and the hotels/food are soooooo cheap......not really that much more to add another week. Def go in Sept....anytime after the 1st up until the Space Closing (although after the 22nd the town was DEAD!) People go to clubs at like 3am and they close at around 7! But considering its $30 - $50 to get in each place, we found that insane.....go out around 12 or 1, its not as crowded and you at least get your $'s worth. (Girls have a good chance of meeting guys who will pay for EVERYTHING so thats always nice - they are very generous there, even when we totally did NOT expect ppl to pay for things , they did!) And def buy the tickets from the guys at the little bars in ibiza town, they are sometimes half as expensive. They also sell 0's - such sweet guys who will love u and cut u great deals if u go back every night. Be prepared, no one can dance. They clap off beat and look like they are having a seisure. Its STRANGE but very amusing. They also wear tight pants and are very thin, we thought they were all gay! And be warned, some of them STINK we almost needed surgical masks at some places! Its a little weird adjusting to the cultural differences (as Americans you ARE the minorities - even w/ all the US tours and ppl, there are TONS more Europeans!) so it is a big change. Just be open to that and be able to laugh and find amusement in the weird things Its an amazing learning experience meeting people from all over, but also nice to bond w/ Americans in the midst of it all, try to mix it up and hang out w/ both ppl from the US and ppl from all over. Also, learn a bit of each language - Italian, German, Spanish....makes it all much easier. (But, theres something to be said for a lustful 'affair' where u dont speak each others language Take the bus/ferry to other beaches and areas, Sunset Strip (San An) and areas. We got a little lazy and just layed on the closest beaches, but theres a lot to see. Mix it up and find new things to do, its worth traveling a bit, and the island is pretty small. A car is great but only if $ isnt really an issue and you can FULLY deal w the responsibility of driving sober and all that...At night walk around Ibizatown, have dinner, go to the bars, shop etc....its like a runway, everyone is looking at each other, picking each other up, a bit more $$ and snottiness but a nice change from sweaty packed messy clubs. Try a new & GOOD restaurant every night, the food is SO cheap - but we got sick from the regular places, totally worth it it to go to the nicer ones and so cheap u can do it every night. TAKE PICTURES of everything! We only ended up w 3 rolls because we were so lazy, I wish we had more. smuggle disposables into clubs and take one w/ you everywhere.... Anyone have any questions feel free to email me Im still recuperating and reflecting, its crazy , you get SO wrapped up in that lifestyle and so relaxed then you come back to ny.....and its like.....whattttt? lol.....

just came back from 27 days there!!!!!!!!!!!!! advice: Stay in Playa D'Embossa - 12-15 min walk to Space & Bora Bora and the same to Ibizatown....right in the middle.

So excited!! meetup - 8am - on the 2nd floor, there are 2 suspended cages - one is the larger DJ booth in the center and the other is similar but smaller, and is to the back of the club near the staircases and bathrooms - the lighting guys are in there - and there are a bunch of couches there too. Best place to meet is right outside the entrance to that little cage..... I'll be w/ a tan beefy hot guy who will be wearing camoflouge pants - prob the best way to find us is to look for his pants. Im short w/ dark long straight hair & boobies out to there lol --- come say hi!!! Rene

Dont anyone EVER question me about the demise of the scene again!! Robert - good call DDI is a classic fav of mine btw! LOL

You forget - Jr doesnt have a residency and hasnt since April. We've only heard him twice (those of us who went to Orlando, 3x) and $50 is a DEAL considering that factor..(add up $25/week everyone would have paid if he was still at twilo!) ....I would pay it if I had to in a heartbeat!

Kevin Aviance & (diff night) Deb Cox (I believe her FIRST performance ever!) at ARENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The last weekend - closing weekend - also........... Words cannot describe....................... MD

I can think of a dozen reasons not to go to ANY given party....... But I only need one reason TO go...... Junior! MD PS. I suggest an 8am meetup outside the lighting/sound booth which is on the 2nd floor all the way at the back of the club - the other suspended cage......If you're facing the djbooth-cage, its on your right.......

Dont believe a word they say (exit/earth) they want people in earlier to leave earlier to pack more ppl in = more $. Junior himself said 3am. but he alsoooo said hes going riidculoussssslyyyyyy late into the night!!!!!!! see u all then MD

he's goin on 3am sunday morning: ) we will be there!

we're going at 4 when jr starts!! i cant wait around longer than thatttt lol Lets have a meetup at say 7am before we all get too mangled - how about right when u get to the main room (up those 2 stairs) right in front of the bar? Everyone post what they will be wearing and or pics....... md ------------------ "Life is not the party....the party is LIFE" - Space, Ibiza!" MissDiva19@aol.com

my place of employment for 2 years; became a home to me...every club i go to, there is at least one person I worked with there, I really do miss it! I think it was such a breakthrough venue because it was a good in between club/lounge/bar -- a little bit of everything. Spa is similar (lot of the same staff, parties..) but never the same ------------------ "Life is not the party....the party is LIFE" - Space, Ibiza!" MissDiva19@aol.com

Im still fully in the bedroom-DJ stage. Started around November 1999, but I was still in college and couldn't spend as much time as I would have liked to on it (not to mention $$$$$$$$$$!) I played around, and picked up things from friends, other ppl in the business who would come by and give me their 'lessons' lol, even books and the net sometimes to learn about the equipment etc. You continue to learn every day. For me its more about the track and history of the music in my life rather than the technical aspect of it, but we will see what happens. I have horrible stage fright, so I havent taken up any offers to spin places just yet. That being said, there is nothing better than the vinyl I have collected (older vocal house 92-98ish, some trance/deeper stuff) and each track is like an entire memory to me, I have a ball with it! Will keep ya posted! MissDiva ------------------ xoxo "Drugs may be the wrong path...but at least its a scenic route!" xoxo MissDiva19@aol.com

uh..its a pic, and a hobby. what in the worlddd is wrong w/ that? ------------------ xoxo "Drugs may be the wrong path...but at least its a scenic route!" xoxo MissDiva19@aol.com

nowhere yet..stage fright. irony is, i get offers bc im a girl & bc I have worked all over butttttt.........too scared! i just am not ready. i think its important to really be ready and comfortable w/ ur records and equipment. havent had the chance to really dedicate the time yet. will keep u posted! ------------------ xoxo "Drugs may be the wrong path...but at least its a scenic route!" xoxo MissDiva19@aol.com

I saw that special. They were ok, but listening to their set they were ~ehh~ on the skills and selection (thought i only heard a few minutes) and it seemed they were trying to focus on their sexuality more than the music. Its Ok to be sexy, great if u got it - BUT its about the musiccc......dont ruin it for women lol anyway if a girl breaks grounds, its usually good news - sandra, jackie, irene, and a few others. a bunch coming out, hopefully will get more press. ------------------ xoxo "Drugs may be the wrong path...but at least its a scenic route!" xoxo MissDiva19@aol.com
