An Inside Look At The Super Bowl’s Coolest Parties

by Kristi Mikesky

San Francisco was the place to be this weekend—the robust city was even more lively than usual thanks to the Super Bowl and its onslaught of parties, events and concerts. If you weren’t there to experience the spectacle firsthand, fret not—super-cool DJ Mia Moretti was in on all the action and snapped photos so good you’ll feel like you too were there rubbing elbows with Justin Bieber. Ahead, her behind-the-scenes diary of the football weekend fun.

"Polaroid session at the New Era store, mostly because we found bucket hats and grew up in the early 2000s."

"About to DJ the New Era party—this is when Justin Bieber tried to make me add all his songs into my set."

"I grew up in the Bay Area, so my playlist was pretty much all '90s and 2000s West Coast hip-hop (sorry Biebs)."

"Really freaking out because I'm in the booth with the biggest DJ in the world (Diplo) and the biggest rapper in the world (Future). Stay cool, Mia."

"Game day! I definitely didn't wake up like this. Castillo got me all glammed while I watched Beyonce's "Formation" video on repeat."
