This was, no doubt, the most joyful FUEL event to
date. We didn't drag out the usual thousands of watts of power but
then again, did we really need to ?
Set
on a 2-level cruise ship that departed on the Chicago River and
headed to the open waters of Lake Michigan, we packed both decks
of the boat with beautiful people all anxious to let loose. In
fact, while still on land, the huge group assembled at the entry
gate was already moving in unison.
The
3 1/2 hours that followed were magical. We cruised back and forth
along the Chicago downtown skyline, about a mile out. A spectacular
view always in the background and groovy beats filling both the
upper and lower decks. Andre Solaris delivered a solid set of
progressive house beats with some wonderful atmospheric breaks
and funky techno to complement it later on in the night. The anticipated
rain, our biggest stress that day, never happened. 80° F all
night long with lots of warm wind sweeping across the boat. We
heard it felt like partying in Ibiza. It did.
Our
huge thanks go out to our friends at KGBeats for steering us (no
pun intended) in the right direction on this one. Of course, the
party wouldn't happen without our hard-core partygoers and for
those of you who didn't get their tickets, and that's about 120
people, there is always next year and loads of parties happening
in-between.
Cheers,
The
FUEL Crew.
