Most Important Day

Nitevibe Buzz

...is New Year's Eve for seasoned party people. So allow me to take this moment to say Happy Holidays from your friends here at Nitevibe! We hope you find our NYE 411 Special, a helpful guide to your big night. In addition to the numerous parties listed under next Wednesday, featured below in this issue, you can also view our featured NYE Promoters who are throwing some of the most spectacular events -- the ones with extra toppings like champagne toasts, balloon drops, VIP rooms and of course, more Djs then you could ever dream!

The other news I have for you is that this edition is somewhat of a double issue. You will notice that we cover events heading into Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Even the Nitevibe crew needs some recovery time so the next edition wont be out until January 6th. Finally, we came up with the best holiday gift we could possibly deliver through your computer.

New Year's Day 2004
The Survival-Revival Guide

When it's 6 a.m., the club is closing down, you're wide awake, and your party partner pipes up, "What now?", you can flash a smile because you totally know the answer.  We've all had fun wandering the streets, but why not preen those planning tactics and make it happen for your crew on New Year's Day?  Friends stuck working on NYE will be begging for some excitement, so declare their pad "home base", stock their fridge with holiday ales, champagne, and fresh juices, and set up the decks for some cool, intimate decompression therapy.  Other options in the early a.m. include hitting up Breakfast of Champions at Whisper, if your brains are still bangin', or head to the Top for RIOT a rare morning treat in lower Haight. If you've snuck in a quick cat-nap, do yourself a favor and float over to 2202 Oxygen bar to clear your mind and arouse the senses with the magic of oxygen, herbal elixirs, and aromatherapy.  Once refreshed, it's time for STOMPY at Cocomo. Still going? Kit Kat at the Endup is going all night! So, San Francisco, whether you stay out all day or sit around somewhere comfy, make the most of it, because it's a brand new year and you never know what surprises are around the corner. (DK)

Dancestar Wants YOU!
First the Governor, then Nitevibe, then the Mayor...will this voting thing ever end? No! and who would want it to? The Dancestar Awards are the only major electronic music awards in the USA and last year it was broadcasted in 54 countries! The event will take place for the second year at Ocean Drive on the sands of Miami’s South Beach on Tuesday March 9th, 2004. What separates Dancestar from other awards is that you and I decide the winners. It is our vote which will decide titles like "Album of the Year", "DJ of the Year", "Best Use of Electronic Music in a Commercial" and much more. The 2004 nominations are to be announced on January 16 and ongoing news will be published via www.dancestar.com as well as right here on Nitevibe. You can expect that info and more leading up to that big party conference called Miami WMC. (JP)
