The Lebanese Chronicles

Hmmm so I finally made it to Lebanon and as soon as I got off the first thing that it me was that as soon as reach the hotel and get changed I need to get the tickets for the COMA festival !! I am not a big fan of trance though I enjoy it as much as any other genre but the fact is that I actually enjoy playing house and lounge and down tempo but when I am on an amazing high I think very few artists who play trance can appease my appetite for spiritual enlightment .I mean I love all artists cos each one of them puts in that effort and have taken the risk of quitting their day jobs to do what truly is their calling and also the tie and effort put into it. Now going right back well I desperately caught a taxi and went to the ABC mall and straight to the Virgin stores to get my tickets which was something I had been dying to do since I heard about this concert Now ticket in hand and nothing to do so I asked the amazing lady at Virgin if she could suggest some place to listen to house music and the smile she gave told me I had found one of my own kind. She rattled off a name of a few places and told me that these were amazing places and maybe I might catch her there also. So again back in another taxi and onwards to Gemzeeyah which is like the music street and on either side of the street were pubs with variety of music flowing out and such. I found most of just opening but there was this particular one which I really liked maybe cos it was soo quaint and small and very very rustic. On a wooden stool I sat and had the first Bacardi in a long long long time. And after 2 drink and some haunting rock music I decided to move on. Oh I forgot this place is opposite to Rehab pub (which again was just opening) and has just enough space for about 25 people all packed together. Anyway they had a small Pioneer console with various people trying their hands on it but playing rock. Also they didn’t have a menu which was amazing cos the bartender was very generous with the drinks. No I decided to check out Monet street and once there i kept looking for “The Crocodile” and eventually found the Pacifico. Now what I didn’t know was that most of these places open at around 8 and till 5 am but the manager was nice guy and was able to help me out and provide me with a drink nonetheless and once we started talking I made some plans to meet up with him and talk to him. Now drunk and hungry as hell I thought about making an exit and was thinking what to do and also having an early morning the next day when the manager is like I think you want to leave and I said how did he know and he replied by saying that u asked for the bill which I had infact but he was like I know you are in a hurry but come back next weekend and enjoy the Latino music and talk more. Eventually back in the hotel I ate and slept early and was in the office the next morning. One thing I noticed in Lebanon and this made me immensely happy is that the sight of beautiful women driving fast cars. I mean its not everyday in India you see a smoking hot grl driving an amazing Ferrari or a Porsche. Anyways lots more coming up as I am here for some time and will keep posting regularly.
