Igloofest - Guillaume & the Coutu Dumonts

It was exactly as what the weather forecast was announcing, super cold night in Montreal. Igloofest was also announcing a hot party, and they did not lie.

As long as you dress warm you will be okay, emphasis in your toes and finger, and don't do it like this guys from Ottawa, only wearing a sweeter and no gloves, but I think he was warm in his mind.

If you are in Montreal, or will be in Montreal, next weekend and you haven't experienced Igloofest yet, please do me a favour and stop by, you won't be disappointed. What a better way to embrace winter in our city, electronic music, cold weather and good people, unique ingredients for a groove party.

Igloofest, the "only" place where beer becomes colder with time.

Igloofest - dress warm and have fun

Igloofest tonight boys and girls, who else is coming? Just remember, the "only" place where beer becomes colder with time

P90X: Real Round 2

Around 2 years ago I finished the first round of the incredible work out P90X, and since then many things have happened. I continue working out at home, and I did not renew my membership at the YMCA, which was no longer needed, and even did a hybrid work where I combined P90X and Insanity (another crazy workout).

Finally the time has arrived to do another round, and this time doing religiously as the first one, plus I'm following the nutritional plan included with the program. I'll keep you up to date with my progress, and one of friends told me I'm the only guy that sweats in the shape of a heart - what is she talking about?

WPF vs WMC

The 2011 Winter events in Miami have caused a drama to one of the festivals, the WPF (gay event) originally scheduled for March 9 to 14, had to be moved one week ahead due to conflicting schedules with the WMC (straight event). WMC is way bigger than WPF so the later one had no choice but move its date.

This is not a problem unless you had already booked the airfare and hotels for your party week. It is understandable WPF had no choice but I sympathize with the party goers that had to dish out major cash to change their itineraries if they wanted to be at the WPF. In my opinion, I wouldn't change my schedule and instead I would just experience the WMC.

Dear Friends,

After reading some of the responses to the announcement of our date change, I felt it was my responsibility to explain in more detail the circumstances that brought us to this point. I understand all of the frustration and anger – we pride ourselves on providing an excellent guest experience. The fact that this situation was really out of our control is no consolation for the regret I feel over the unhappiness it has caused.

We made the decision last spring to move Winter Party from its traditional week to the week following it so that our guests would not have to choose between us and Brazil’s Carnival or Australia’s Mardi Gras. For the past few years Winter Music Conference – an event which literally takes over South Beach for several days -- has always been at the end of March, a full two weeks after the dates we chose for WPF ’11. We can’t finalize our dates without the City of Miami Beach’s approval, and we assumed the same was true for Winter Music Conference. What we learned through this experience is that Winter Music Conference does not need the City’s permission for its dates because the conference itself does not use public property.

We were all completely stunned when Winter Music Conference announced on November 16, less than four months in advance, that it had knowingly decided to select dates that overlapped Winter Party Festival. We immediately began receiving calls from those in the community who know how that event alters the landscape of South Beach to change our dates. We first tried to convince Winter Music Conference to change their dates, but they declined. The City of Miami Beach met with the same response when it tried to convince them to reschedule. We originally intended to weather the storm and leave our schedule unchanged, but within 48 hours we had lost two venues, were in danger of losing a third and had seen hotel rates soar. We were told airfares to South Florida would soon skyrocket as well. It seemed evident that if we did not reschedule we would wind up with a Festival that was far from the spectacular experience our guests expect. We knew this would cause issues for some of our guests, but it was unavoidable if we wanted to preserve the Festival experience that compels people around the world to board a jet to come here.

I began as a volunteer for Winter Party Festival because I believe in what the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force does for LGBT causes on the national and local level, and the last thing I would want to do is harm the future of the Festival by upsetting any of our cherished guests. We are working with the City to find a way to avoid a repeat of this situation in the future. I am asking everyone who has experienced a significant inconvenience from this date change to contact us at winterparty@theTaskForce.org. We are keeping a record of every difficulty our guests have experienced to show how important it is that this never happen again.

I apologize for the angst this has caused, but I do hope we will see you in March.

Stereohatz @ Stereo with Danny Torrence

Even thought I'm fighting a Mexican ear infection, there is no way I will miss this party. I just have to figure out what kind of hat I should wear, maybe one that cover my ear?

It has been too long since I've seen Danny Torrence in action at Stereo, and I can't wait to see him there again.

edit: unfortunately my ear infection did not allow me to go to Stereo
