Saturday marked the end of the Winter Music Conference down in Miami with a huge concert "Ultra" where techno fans alike had to dress in neon and finish what they started: a fest of 250 DJ's on 8 stages in two days ala Woodstock.  We have to wait until summer until this conference comes to NYC...with holded breath of course.

Last night the MTV Australia Awards heated up the Syndney Convention center.  The main attraction of the night was the giant smooch that Ashley Simpson planted on hubby Pete Wentz, putting to rest any troubled-marriage rumors. Pete, who hosted the show and who's band Fall Out Boy won Best Rock Video went crowd surfing at one point. Other highlights included  Jess Mauboy ('06 Aussie Idol) sweeping away the crowd with her 'Burn' performance, and The Hills Audrina Patridge hosting the red carpet (of course she did!).

The Winter Music Conference in Miami has been going on all week, and, for the grand finale, the Dual Groupe's "Day & Night" brunch will be taking over Miami's VITA.  Derek and Daniel Koch have taken some of our favorite NYC Dj's with them including DJ Serebe Kironde, DJ Mess Kid and DJ Nick Cohen to show the folks in Miami how Saturday Brunches are done.

"The rosé is on ice and the champagne will be flowing all afternoon to your favorite house music." Is this the first in Day & Night's plan to scale their popular party brunches that have taken over the likes of Merkato 55?
