G*d Damn That DJ Made My Day
To those of you that passed on bluestate on Saturday, your bad. The night started out with an ominous tone when the club manager told us the club was empty the night before. And then about 20 people showed up before 11 PM. The night kinda looked bleak, but little by little people started staying after they did the walk through to check out the scene. We had a decent sized crowd by about midnight. By then people were getting buzzed and everyone started to get loose. Then after NM was done with her second set, the fuses for the house lights blew and it was like we were at some random cheesy dance club. But this was a good thing! People started streaming in and slowly everyone started inching out onto the floor to get their collective groove on. SOB did his part, keeping shit going during his set (that M.I.A. song was hott) and I did my part keeping everything and everyone moving until closing.
At first NM thought she had done something to the fuses but that ultimately proved to not be the case, although that didn't stop me from teasing her ruthlessly for the rest of the night. Eventually the staff brought out some lamps and placed them strategically around the room. For those of you counting at home, we've broken toilets and now blown fuses. Keep this in mind next time you need to throw a jammy jam. We aim to please.
Never thought I would say this but I was bummed to have to pull the plug at 2 AM, because we had a great crowd and definitely could have kept going. Everyone was mad for it. And when closing time rolled around, we had no house lights to turn on, so everyone kinda turned to me with the "Dude, what the fuck are you doing, keep it going!" face.
Many thanks to everyone that came out, especially our crack dance team that never fail to get other people's butts moving. All in all, a good time. We're back at Saint Ex next Tuesday.
Peep the setlists and more photos here. NM got some good ones.
Funny enough, the two songs that I thought would kill were my worst received songs. I guess the young 'uns don't like Culture Club or the Stone Roses. But my Born Slippy into The Devil Inside mix fucking ruled!
people. can. smoke? during. a. set? wow...unheard of in california due to ye olde smokin' laws. i remember the days when you could have drink in one hand, ciggie in the other.......
dumb question, but is that u in the pic kyle? you're hot!
and thanks for another sweet mr. pink foto.
And good job on Saturday!
I love that I am the "crack" in "crack dance team."
Damn, I left early. Sucks that I have to work on Sundays now. I guess that'll mean I'll have no excuse to stay through 'til the end on Thursdays then.
