I promised- so please be patient while they load
I'm at the Business Louge at Dubai airport- headed to Beirut in a few hours, but I managed to upload these pics while I was taking a shower before driving through the odd Dubai rain to check-in.
(the Beirut Marathon is on after-all!)
So had to share this...
Ohh kay... our count was 2,800 people (according to security tallies) and lets start with a special message from AvB to ALL Lebanese:
What a nice fella... don't ya think?
Okay it's not the most perfect flag, but I had to improvise... thanks to your ideas I built on that and Armin accepted to do it right away:
The warm-up set (thanks for the pictures Marwa!)
The hand-over: first track (mixed in) Proper Education
Checked out the entrance at 12:45am:
Back inside:
Armin doing his thing
Armin and JR (head promoter)
So there ya have it... my pics... as for a review? Conflict of interest on my behalf for the warm-up, but to be honest I truely felt like I was playing in Lebanon (deep, dark, minimal, tech-house, uplifting..etc) mainly thanks to the groups of people with glasses on and the ACTUAL Lebanese that came in early and already started shouting within 10 min of being in the room... One of those nights where I can summarize as "damn, this crowd know what they're doing!" and it just gets better.... Lebanon would've been amazing and Armin kept telling me as his set progressed that "I wish I can come to Lebanon tomorrow... I'm sad I can't make it"... like 5 times!
So as he said in his message "hang in there!"
RESPECT...
Ahmad Ajam
