Chris Orr and Travis spin some deep house and garage sounds at Staple. I showed up at about 10:30, stretching out in the back room and warming up by the time Kai and his fiancée, Marina. As soon as I turned around, a group of people beating on the congas appeared, as if by magic. […]
I no longer possess an Idaho driver’s license. I surrendered it today at DMV, having received my shiny new birth certificate from Texas. California DMV apparently mails the driver’s license in a couple of weeks. How strange. I guess it’s easy to hand out driver’s licenses (which basically look like laminated student identification cards) in […]
Got up somewhat earlier than I usually do, watched a couple of movies, and procrastinated doing anything useful. Finally, I headed out the door for San Franncisco about 6pm. Everything seemed to be running late for some reason. I got to Patrick’s place at 7:30. He lives in the vicinity of Lombard and Van Ness […]
After a three week absence, I decided to head for Into the Sound. Steve Loria was the featured headliner. They were charging ten bucks to get in, which I paid. The opening DJs got everything warmed up and there was a much larger crowd than usual. Then, out of the blue, there was Annie, Mina, […]
Headed up to the city for Staple. Clé (of Dallas) opened with a solid set, very funky and danceable. Found Dana and her friend, whose name I can’t remember, and started the stepping in earnest. Pretty soon, Mike Clark (of Detroit) took the decks and started tearing it up, a beautiful mix of incredibly vocal […]
Checking my account balance, I discovered that I’m not in a negative cash position for once. This is sweet. So, I jerked some money down through the ATM and headed for Staple. Inhuman greeted me at the door. Mad Marj (Oops…I thought it was Fabulizz. Thanks for the correction, Liz. –October 8, 2000) was on […]
So, I was on my way home to get changed and head to the city for another night of shaking my ass at Into the Sound, when I spotted Gareth, Jennifer, Matt, and Scott approaching the corner of Villa and Castro. In Mountain View. I didn’t think they ever ventured any further south than the […]
On this day in 1990, I was discharged from the army. Time flies so quickly when you’re young. I couldn’t help but reflect during the long drive home to california, about all the people I’ve left behind on the long road that is life. I thought about all of my classmates that I actually liked […]
Happy 224th birthday, America. Emmett and I loaded up his car with my musical instruments, books, and movies. I tried not to go overboard on shit. One of these days, I’m going to have to have everything shipped out from Idaho to California, so I can have whatever I own, whenever I want. We messed […]
There really is nothing to eat at all in the western Treasure Valley. Nothing. Sizzler is the best restaurant in the area. It is quite sad. We headed over to the “World’s Largest Pawn Shop” (aka, the world’s largest rip-off shop) to get a replacement Playstation. Skullmonkeys was the big hit. My son loved it […]
