Sail Away: Behrouz Part 1

NYC summer is usually filled with one million possibilities. From free movies and concerts at every park to pool parties, water ballon fights for adults at Central Park, impromptou BBQs, and rooftop bar hopping. That is besides all the club parties (at least 10 on any given night). The possibilieties for almost free entertainment are endless; disconnecting your cable temporarily for summer makes a lot of sence since there is literally no time for TV. If you miss your cable programming too much you can always visit Times Square, park yourself in one of lawn chairs and watch the giant screens. Tourist watching is even more entertaining.

Don't get me wrong amongst all the excitement of summer there are few things about NY that are tough to handle: heat rising from the pavement, sticky subway platforms, smelly subway riders, garbage smell permeating blocks at a time, humidity levels to rival Florida and continuous hangover from all the parties.

This summer we had strange thunderstorms bordering on tornadoes and intermittent club closures. The former surely resulting from global warming and the later from community board harassment. At the rate NYC clubs are closing, pretty soon the party cruises might become an only way of nightlife.

Boarding a boat for a 4 hour cruise around Manhattan on Friday afternoon to the best house music soundtrack provided by myriad of DJs is the equivalent of paradise. Boys dressed in nautical stripes, girls in hot pants and high heels, pirates, captains and one gentleman soliciting kisses with a sign on his back that read: Kiss me it's My Birthday. Ridiculously fun crowd rocking the boat with good rowdy energy. There was a muse on a run, as she had a photographer following her around, taking pictures, apparently for a project. Delirious energy, cheap drinks and funny "rocking boat" dance moves, crowd watching here was inspiring.

I am not going to try and describe Behrouz set. What I really love about him is that he is a star that doesn't act like one. He is so excited to take over the decks that he transfers this excitement straight to the dance floor. His technique is immaculate and he feels the dance groove.
His set was pure perfection on the boat and 4 hours flew by as 1. Everyone was giggling while leaving the boat. Most fabulous summertime party period.
