Re Grand Opening of Surf Club 2009


http://www.artchickphotos.com/

So we waited all winter and neither rain nor snow was gonna keep me away for the re grand opening of Surf Club . To many of us the Summer starts with the first big Sunday House Party at Surf and ends with the last.We arrived around 3:30 ,having to pick up a stranded clubber on the way .The Mind Control crew was already in true form while everyone secretly hoped the sun would make a surprise appearance.

Opening day at Surf is a mixed affair ,the serious House crowd meets the Surf Club regulars all jockeying for the best spots at the bar closest to their favorite bar tenders .Some just stake out their turf on the dance floor so for the rest of the summer they have a spot to meet up with their crew. Its a tradition as long as anyone can remember ,even a lot of the non House crowd put in face time making the rounds hoping to meet up with some old friends or cozy up to their favorite adult beverage. We ran into one of our favorite deep disco DJ's and he too was as happy as we were to make to one more summer at Surf Club.

Its like coming home again after a long cold winter ,so here we were cameras in hand working the crowd and doing our own due diligence for this summers favorite elixir. There was that bartender from Avenue ,or our favorite red head or the many dynamic duos seemed to me everyone was there or at least there in spirit anyway .

We caught up with model Dani Uno ,we had been hoping to do a shoot with her but the cold rain washed away our visions of some early beach shots . The crowd was filled with the drama of old loves ,broken hearts and second chances all collided into one big party scene. ArtChick and I constantly texted each other to better coordinate the photographic attack or have the next drink waiting in the right spot.

As many of you know Summer 2008 at Surf was particularly memorable season punctuated by one huge rainbow ,in a summer were no rain touched those sandy beaches on any weekend all season . Not even the "Guido Beach" scandal could slow down the non stop party . So rain and all , not bad for a first day Summer 2009 here we go.
