Nez Nez

Hey, can anyone spot director Nez in these photos?










I've been to some epic wrap parties over the years (Berlin 2007, Vegas 2008), but Havana 2009 surpasses them all for total, blessed buckness - comfortably the hurtiest 18 hours of my life. Here are some of the key ingredients that create the distinctive flavour of a Cuban wrap party: snouts, cigars, Bucanero, Cristal, rotgut, Cuba Libre, juice, dirt weed, nasen-tutter, the jittery horrors, extras, a 15th storey hotel bar with a retractable roof, dancing to the Macarena and knowing all the words, reggaeton, taxis, a dive bar full of jineteras, playing Snoop and Tupac, the Eric Maddison dirty bop, hot stepping, taxis, tourists, negotiations, impromptu sunrise acoustic session at the Nacional, Neil Balls, lyrical gangstas, breakfast bites, poolside Bloody Marys, check in rum, Xanax, aeroplane sleepy time.
