HOUSE MUSIC

A friend of mine once came back from a trip to Miami, Florida, with an incredible tale of adventure. It was a place that was virtually always summer, had exotic beaches, beautiful women, delicious food, and endless things to do. He also told the tale of the characters he had encountered down there. I knew the friend he went down there for a week to see, since he had been up North here once or twice before, and lemme tell ya, that kid was interesting enough. However, aside from the stories of the great people my friend met and the great times he had, he also brought back a message: Ultra Music Fest was in March, right around spring break. So, wtf is Ultra?

Well, he told me: it is basically a 3 day long House Music Party THAT DOESN'T STOP. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! This upcoming March is the fifteenth anniversary of Ultra; that means the event will be over two weekends, rather than just one. Unfortunately, spring break only spans the second weekend. However, that does not discourage me from going to Miami and having a good time. My friend and I will probably stay with his compadre at his house on the Venetian Causeway, an island away from Lil' Wayne, but luckily we won't be seeing him at Ultra. XD

So, now I know you have another question: what's house music? Well, basically it's a lot like techno, in the sense that it's electronic, but house music is primarily dance music. A collection of djs from around the world come to perform to around 60,000 people per day making Ultra the biggest music festival in the world. A record 165,000 people attended the 2012 Ultra, as well as over 90 artists; and more than double that is expected for March 2013 because it will be over two weekends. I hope to be one of them.
