Anyway, Phil Asher, Ashley Beedle, Gilles, Ramandanman, MC Motet and Shea Soul [...]

Wow and it just don’t stop!  Man, jetlag struck me hard tonite (and Jose as well!) so we headed back to the hotel while the rest is still rockin’ the beach hard.  Nah, I’m not a pussy, it’s just that when you tired, dead, you can’t really get into it; at least we’ll be good [...]
