Success for lack of a better word is the key factor to this historic night. No ones perfect, but when you have a sell out crowd on a River Ship in Central Florida the feeling is overwhelmingly heart felt!…it felt like a religious experience, an epiphany even!. I would like to share with you some of the things that occurred from day 1,to the evening of May 21st 2010, and of course, the closing of the night.

I don’t want to bore any of you with how it all began since the New York Streets and yada yada yada…that’s been done. I’ll just get straight to it…Apples & Oranges (THE BIG APPLE IN THE ORANGE STATE!)….an Idea i had when I first stepped foot in Orlando. I still had New York Promo Fever!…I wanted My NY DJs to Battle the Floridian DJs!…I wanted that more than anything at the time!..I pitched it around my fellow DJ acquaintances some said yes, but the majority said Hell No!…seems like no one wants to Battle Much anymore. At the time I was very disappointed, but I kept it moving, thus…Apples & Oranges!…only this time, it wasn’t a battle, it ended up on a boat! but we did manage to fly over a NY DJ…New York’s Underdog DJ JUNIOR TEC! to be alongside Florida’s Underdog  DJ Riot!…together they formed “THE PROFESSIONALZ!”…a new DJ Line up that consists of 10 + years experience and skill!..by the way..these two are not alone!…they have other members that you probably already know, you’ll hear more about that in the near future, right now its “Rock The Boat!…a title DJ Riot thought of while designing the graphics to this event!…flawless…

I thought to my self…”There’s only a hand full of club owners and promoters that helped me in the past”…I needed a venue…In the past the only other two places I promoted was Pounders, and Mirage here in Florida…I did more in NY…but  here in Central Florida you get what I call the Smiley Faces!…you get so many Smiley Faces 8)…ALL DAY!…AND SO MANY YES MEN!..YES YES YES!..WHAT EVER YOU SAY,WHAT EVER YOU LIKE..YES YES YES…BUT NO DELIVERY!…I SHOULD NAME NAMES BUT I WONT! ,BUT YOU KNOW WHO YOU GUYS ARE!…some of you met with me , some through Facebook, and some through phone and text. You all didn’t believe in me and my ability’s but in retrospect… GOOD!…when the grass is cut you can see the snakes!…thank you so very much for revealing yourselves early so that I didn’t get into some damage I couldn’t walk away from!. On that note…lets go to phase 2!

THE TEAM!…you cannot do anything alone!…without a team, you might as well pack it in!…go build a clubhouse or some sh*t!…and it cant be just any team, you have to surround yourself with positive no non-sence people!…and this is where Yami and Yami Events come in…if you want an organized event of any capacity, there’s nothing she cant handle. Merging with Yami Events has been a major piece to the One4nine puzzle. Excellence is her presence when she’s working an event!,attention to detail baby….there’s nothing like it!…Strong women make the world go round…my Fiance Lissette keeps me focused and on my toes, Diana of Munekawear is an administrative innovator, Mellisa of the River ship is a  Strong Management Leader!, and how can I forget Louise of PM LIMOS!…omg!,,,very precise, very accurate in execution, and pleasant to work with!…for any transportation needs,,,thats my girl!…now the fellas…Cesar Houdini!…lol…aka Fidel Cash Flow…aka Cesar G.,aka Founder of Pure Cash Mag!…You want precision, you want more excellence, you want flawlessness?…ask Cesar….and maybe if your real enough…you may get some help!…same with DJ Riot & Tec…no matter how many HATERS they have, and they have plenty!…do they ever stop or slow down?…NOPE!…love working with those guys…than of course the new editions to the One4nine Familia….Ulysses & Alina B….you guys did your magic and put the finishing touches to this past “Rock the Boat experience…Like I said…with a Great Team…whos’ gonna stop you?!…I also want to recognize the one4nine team in NY…from Club Ownership to various endeavours….we still have plenty of work to do!

OK now..lets talk about the River Ship Romance!…from Brunch,Lunch,and Dinner…and now…”NIGHTCLUB!”…Captain Robert knows how to make you feel welcome!..located at 433 n Palmetto ave in Sanford, a 25+ year old business opened there doors to One4nine & Yami Events…RED CARPET STYLE!…THEY LITERALLY ROLLED OUT THE RED CARPET FOR US!…you have to respect that!…mind you they have never catered to this kind of CLUB LIFE crowd!…very brave thing to do, and with a sellout crowd which included two huge CHARTER BUSES, AND NO MORE PARKING LEFT!…IT COULD HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMING!…what did they do instead?…they joined the Rush!…SIDE BY SIDE AND HAND BY HAND!…EVEN THE CAPTAIN WAS SERVING BOTTLES!…the rush was so chaotic at one point we had to literally get our hands wet!….the V.I.P. was sold out!…people were sitting at tables that were reserved for other people, the V.I.P. become so cluttered, we had to open up a whole new section of V.I.P.!…the food was excellent and the drinks were amazing!…the only thing I can truly say we lacked was MAN POWER!….a staff of less than 10 had to cater to over 200 people on a boat!…with only 2 security Personnel, we really had to stay super focused!…besides a little scuffle we defused and a drunk lady who had to be babysat…the security personnel held it down!…as time progressed,and the people found their relax spot it was smooth sailing from there!…with DJ Tec & Riot on the second level, and DJ D-Roc & Dj NZO on the 1st Level…the music was impeccable!…2 levels of sexy music from top 40’s, to Old Skool, to anything that made the crowd move!….in the end…everyone on every level had a BLAST!…making this the Only Nightclub On the water in Central Florida!…if history taught us anything its that it repeats itself!…

Yes it will be imitated by others…but we pioneered this!…and no one can ever take that away from us!…

Once again thank you all who believed, thank you all who doubted us, AND  thank you all who made “Rock The Boat” a SUCCESS!
