Something was in my eye. I keep dragging something opaque across the pupil with my eyelid, obscuring much of the left eye’s field of vision. No way in hell I was driving one-eyed in the dark to San Francisco tonight. So, I opted to do something that I haven’t done in recent memory. I stayed […]
Out to the Rawhide, to discover that StopSpot is gone for good. Opening night for Into the Sound, featuring guest Markie. The music was good for a crew’s opening night. The second room was open, but the pool tables were still set up. The illumination of the pool lights took something from the ambience of […]
Abacus was on the decks at Staple tonight, having come all the way from Toronto to spin some music for us. A little sore from last night, I girded up my loins and readied myself to take the dancefloor without feeling too much like an old man. Patrick, Geneva, Chris, and Caleb were there. Sally […]
Went again to Rawhide, as usual. A new crew, called Baraca, or something, has temporarily taken over the Rawhide, pending the return of StopSpot. The DJs headed from vocal house straight into trance territory. It was a hoot.
Oh, April isn’t gonna be pretty. I owe the government a few hundred dollars. Egad. I’ve never earned enough to have to pay Uncle Sam before. I like the state of california, though. They’re giving me some dollars to replace the ones the feds are nipping. Gotta love tax day. April is looking to be […]
Treated myself to Ethiopian food in San José and a new book. Messed around on IRC until it was time to go to the city. Another saturday, another Staple, of course. I arrived on the scene shortly after 9:15, choosing an extraordinarily convenient parking space almost directly across the street from the club entrance. At […]
StopSpot got displaced tonight. Another crew (“Baraca”?) was playing at the old Rawhide. The DJ was set up at the end of the first room, which was a very refreshing change (usually the DJ is in the middle — on the long side of the dance area). I started talking to this guy I’ve seen […]
My bed arrived today. 9:15 in the morning, the phone rang, and I woke up on the floor for the last time. It is beautiful, so beautiful. I have never before owned a full-size box spring and mattress set before. It is untarnished in its perfection—spectacular in its newness. I can hardly wait for tonight.
What a winning day. Got a call at 7 am. “Hi, we need to set up a delivery time for your bed between 12:30 and 2:30.” “I told the sales guy late afternoon.” “Sorry. Can you do it at 12:30 to 2:30?” “No. I have a job. Hello.” Fucking geniuses. I made the salesguy write […]
