On day 2 I spent the full 10h marathon of dancing even there was a bit of rain it wasn't that cold anymore. I ended up leaving on day 3 because I felt I had a blast and even I wanted to see the amazing lineup I missed my little dog so decided to skip.

Movement 2025: A Spiritual Reckoning in Four On the Floor…read more I would've written this sooner, but my weekend itinerary was stacked: pedicure, wax, hair trim, stomach pump, and three hours in a sensory deprivation tank in Sterling Heights, where I may or may not have briefly died. That reminds me of the previous NDE I had toward the tail-end of May...my annual tradition of face-planting somewhere festive. Memorial Day weekend in Detroit is sacred. It's the only time of year when it's socially acceptable to fall face-first off a deck and a stage in the same 48 hours, provided you're wearing sunglasses, sunscreen, and a plausible expression of joy. I don't attend Movement. I haunt it. I materialize at Hart Plaza like a low-frequency apparition in a kimono and hot pants. I never have a wristband, yet I am everywhere: main stage, the VIP section, behind the frozen lemonade truck, briefly in the Detroit River (don't ask). This year's lineup was decent, I guess. Could've been better. I say that every year, and yet every year I end up on my knees in front of a subwoofer in the rave cave like I'm worshipping the bass as a wrathful deity. At one point, a man in a mesh tank top tried to sell me "artisanal molly" in a prescription bottle labeled Wellbutrin. I declined. Not because I don't party, but because I'd just inhaled some truly heroic rails off a stranger's god-tier cleavage and was waiting to see what happened (again, don't ask). Festival highlights included: - Being called "Ma'am" by a child in a bucket hat before he handed me a blunt. - Interrupting a set to demand the DJ play "Prince Ali" (1992 OG version, of course) and somehow succeeding, despite a crowd that clearly wasn't ready for Agrabah basslines. - Hearing "Deep Inside" and feeling every bad decision I've ever made vibrating in my spine and cervix. - Watching a man in full leather assless chaps negotiate a porta-potty truce with Grandma Techno (she easily bested him after she mowed him down with her Rascal). My Movement prep list for 2025: - Industrial-strength saline mist and tissues for when you get hit with a pesky Colombian cold - Emergency slutty outfit (weather inappropriate, crotchless, fierce) - Vintage Adderall (orange ovals for life, baybeeeeee) - Laminated list of local bail bondsmen - 1 tube of Vicks for the "traditional" reasons - Bra with enough secret hiding places to make the Underground Railroad blush By Monday night, I was 78% wild animal, 22% polite enough to order food without frightening the staff. My phone had a shattered screen, 4% battery, and 87 unanswered texts, most of them asking either "Are you still alive?" or "Who the fuck is Judith Merkintosh?" To answer the former: barely, but beautifully. To answer the latter: I'm a public service announcement with great tits and a world-class vagina. Just ask anyone at Regulars' Night. Yes... anyone. Five stars. See you next year. Or sooner, if you check the dumpster behind The Lex... or catch me doing the Friday morning Walk of Shame down Trumbull, still holding a frozen lemonade I didn't pay for.

Eric was absolutely amazing! We were looking to find a great DJ and relatively last-minute. Lucky…read morefor us, we were marrying on a Thursday so we could snag him up! Eric coordinated amazing music suggestions, humored my requests for music to be played and even requested the songs that CANNOT be played (thank God!). But more than that, Eric provided a Coordination role all day long. He ran a tight program and was an incredible liaison among the Bride and Groom, House Staff, Wedding Party, Photographer and guests. Eric was a delight to have at our wedding as well as by our luck, wonderful at running our wedding. His equipment was to-notch, the commentary he provided was endearing, properly-humored and warm and all-around we absolutely love knowing that Eric was our DJ. It was an incredible day that likely would have fallen apart if not for our DJ's quick wit, strong customer service and coordination, as well as jovial attitude throughout it all. He was professional, fun, respectful, organized and went above and beyond to make our special day that much more wonderful! He even came to the after party for a drink! If you are looking for a DJ that is like your favorite family member only without being actual family, Eric is the best choice you could make! Message him immediately! :) Thanks, Eric for being so amazing!

We have known Eric for many years and were excited to ask him to be a part of our wedding, knowing…read morehe would do everything he could to make our day as special as possible. He did just that and beyond what we ever could have imagined. Eric was an outstanding DJ the day of the event. Eric helped us with planning stages by bringing to our attention details that are often overlooked. This helped make sure that everything turned out perfectly for us. He went out of his way to make sure the music was exactly what we wanted and continued to find great music options for us to chose from. He was a great MC as well. He constantly made his rounds during the reception to ensure that the guests were comfortable and enjoying the wedding. He made announcements to keep everything on schedule. He made the bridal party, bride, and groom feel very comfortable. He was able to make adjustments as needed and added flair to everything he did. Working with Eric was one of the easiest parts of planning our wedding. For any event, we would highly recommend Rain Shadow Events.
