| News | Ibiza people: Lord of the Rings Posted: 01 Jul 2008 09:22 PM CDT "They call me lord of the rings," says the tanned, bearded man whilst standing in front of his stand thats offers rings in many different shapes, sizes and colours. We've met many interesting people whilst traveling around Ibiza, and some of the most colourful characters we've come across were hiding in the hippy markets of the island. "I have a ring for everybody, you know," he says. The story of how Mr. Lord of the Rings came to be selling rings in a hippy market in Ibiza is a similar story to the other ones we've heard from Ibiza settlers. |
| News | Pride. Freedom. Sexuality. Joy…House music! Posted: 01 Jul 2008 08:34 PM CDT Those five words best describe NYC’s Gay Pride Parade on Sunday, June 29th -- a parade unlike any other. Thousands of New Yorkers gathered outside in the pouring rain throughout 5th Ave. to celebrate one thing: PRIDE. Pride for what? I learned that it went far beyond sexual preference, and it wasn’t only homosexuals who were celebrating that day. On Sunday, June 29th, the citizens and visitors of New York City celebrated their right to dance in the streets, their right to freely express themselves through feather boas and glittered faces, and their right to house music, of course! It was quite a magical feeling. I agree with DJ Johnny Vicious when he said, “Pride to me is about happy people who love house music.” Along with Johnny Vicious, the Beatport “disco float” included artists DJ Ricardo!, Yoko “ONO”, Quentin Harris, Joi Cardwell, and Andrea Carnell. |
