The end of the Millennium and the demarcation line into the future, or something. New Year’s Eve is one of my favorite holidays and I was looking to make this one the best ever. My plan: dancing the night away at the Rawhide.I figured it was going to take me a long [...]
Infinity at the Rawhide tonight, which was fifteen bucks to get in and had a sparse crowd, although there were definitely some pretty people in attendance. The music kicked ass and I’ll look forward to some gigs by this crew again. We’ll see if it’s a weekly or a monthly.
Tomorrow is my favorite [...]
I looked on SFStation to decide how to begin my New Year’s weekend, and I called Patrick, who was planning on checking out our default club, the Rawhide. I offered to pick him and Gigi up, with Dan and Zoe riding along for good measure.
A new crew whose flier I didn’t snag and whose [...]
Last day in Idaho started out alright, although I woke up about 10:30. My kids were ready to go home and sleep in their own beds again for the first time since Sunday, but my flight wasn’t to leave until 9:20. I hung out with them until four, when my ex-wife came to [...]
The last couple of days at Grandma’s house have been great. We’ve watched Chicken Run (2000) and Titan A.E., ate the worst pizza (Klondike of Ontario, Oregon), and played some chess. My son is a superb chess player for a seven-year-old who doesn’t own a complete chess set (he used to, but kids [...]
At Grandma’s house, we unwrap everything on X-mas eve, so all of the various people can spend the holiday at places where they unwrap all the gifts on that day. Most everyone had another house to go to today. My brother had his in-laws in Willow Creek, 40 miles away. My sister’s [...]
Frankie hooked me up with a ride to the airport this morning at a smudge after four o’clock. My flight to Boise, scheduled to depart at half past six, was on time and the flight went without incident. Boise had some residual snow when I arrived, but nothing significant. The roads were [...]
I spent last night at home, watching a couple of flicks, having farted around long enough that heading to the city would have been pretty lame.
In additional preparation for my upcoming trip to Idaho, which happens tomorrow, and my own sanity, I purchased a digital camera—the Olympus D-460 Zoom—which will alleviate my need to buy [...]
In preparation for my trip to Idaho, and my probably inability to go out on Saturday night, I finally got around to wandering down to Wave’s Smokehouse Saloon again for Velvet Shop. On the decks was Marshall Jefferson—the Godfather of House—who blistered the speakers with a sweet mix of very funky shit, wandering a [...]
Kate hunted me down, desirous to go out on the town. My initial plan was to check out the Rawhide, but we decided to have Ethiopian food on the Haight at a very nice place called Axum and wandered over to An Bodhran after. An Bodhran is a little Irish bar with very [...]
I had seen Wicked’s X-Mas party billed on SFStation. After conversing with patrick about it, I made my big plans to go. Unfortunately, The Bone Collector (1999) ran a little longer than I thought it would, so I arrived around Townsend and Second at 10:45, parking in a tow-away zone initially, until I [...]
Myplay’s holiday party happened tonight at a very swank Noe Valley house. I was working on a new playlist for the event (and by request of john’s girl, Yen) but didn’t finish putting the tracks in order, so I reposted Veni Vidi Saltavi (”I came, I saw, I danced”) in case the network difficulties [...]
John Howard at the Rawhide, debuting a new monthly called Elsewhere. There was no possible way I could miss this. I arrived at the Rawhide at 10:10. I hung out upstairs, talking with a few people, until it was time to go cook the dancefloor. Nobody I know was there, but [...]
I decided to head up to the city, not quite certain as to what to do, until Ernie called me to let me know about the Imperial Dub party at Club Six. sounded like a good idea, especially with Dubtribe Sound System playing a live set.
I delayed heading out until I finished watching Contact. [...]
Today, I entered the world of digital movies and purchased a DVD player (the Phillips DVD707). I also picked up some movies (yes, I know some of these are terrible): City Hall, Contact, Outbreak, The Princess Bride, Pump up the Volume, The Shawshank Redemption, Soldier, Thunderheart, and With Honors.
The first thing I noticed [...]
My favorite brunette in the entire 925 area code, Melissa, and I decided to go and have Ethiopian food in Berkeley and watch some flicks, so I headed over in the late afternoon. We went to the Blue Nile and Amoeba Records, had a good meal, bought some nifty music (I picked up a [...]
I went shopping today and picked up Mastering Regular Expressions (O’reilly & Associates), and a bunch of music, including Talvin Singh’s Anokha: Soundz of the Asian Underground. Woo.
I knew I was supposed to do something tonight, but I couldn’t remember what. I looked on the web and found that last week’s Mission Rock [...]
I decided to try something different tonight, so Kate and Booty opted to head out to 26 Mix, where John Howard and M3 were scheduled to spin in a tag team event.
The music was incredibly good and I had a great time dancing, even before John called me a pimp. Later, I blew my [...]
I woke up at noon, and took Lakshmana out for some food, visiting a couple of stores on the way to pick up a surge protector (so I can eventually put my studio together) and various other items. After a bit, he headed back to Santa Cruz. It was a cool visit, Lakshmana.
On [...]
Lakshmana came up, so I could take him to San Francisco and bounce around on dancefloors. We grabbed indian food at Amber in Mountain View and headed up to the city.
The original plan was to go to Le Freak at Space 550, but we opted to see what was playing at the Rawhide instead. [...]
