So, Kai finally got his new place, a beautiful condo in Albany (north of Berkeley, right on the Contra Costa county line) and he required assistance to move some items from one room to the next. So, for the princely sum of a good meal at an Ethiopian restaurant, I agreed. I showed up at […]
Simon DK of DIY, newly relocated to San Francisco, spun at Staple. First order of business when I get some money: get whatever Simon DK CDs are available. His deep UK house sound was incredibly beautiful, both mellow and energetic—a sort of abstract, aloof funkiness that comes seeping in quietly and quickly inundates everyone and […]
This week’s dental work leaves me broke for a while. I’m pretty sure I’m overdrawn until payday. Good thing I pulled some cash out yesterday. Figured I’d stop and just look at people on Castro Street in downtown Mountain View, because I was feeling pretty alienated from everything and just wanted to look at some […]
Finally, I got my crowns today, at $750 a pop. Two molars on the right side will allow me to stop jawing everything on the left. I get to forever lose the plastic temporary crowns and get into some porcelain. Of course, when I got to the dentist, she removed the temporary crown pretty easily, […]
I couldn’t really see any possible way I could miss Rick Preston and Spun on four turntables at Staple. Aside from the fact that the music couldn’t help but be incredible, Kai informed me that he was coming out to Staple, sans Marina. I didn’t find him immediately, but I went upstairs to look, and […]
For the first time in nearly a month, I headed out to Into the Sound, where I found a listen.com party. The cover was ten bucks, to benefit Horizons Unlimited, an organization seeking to teach mission district youth to spin and “work for positive change in their community.” I asked who was playing at the […]
Several times during my short slumber in the Hard Rock Hotel, someone opened my door, came in, said something to me, and left. Next time, I’ll remember to hang the “do not disturb” sign on the door. I woke up at noon, after about six hours of sleep and wandered around, hunting for Malou, a […]
My company, some time ago, decided that, in celebration of our hard work and stuff, we should all go to Las Vegas for a couple of days. Today was the big day. I was among the group leaving at 9 in the morning from SFO. Another group of us was leaving from San José. I […]
Nick Holder of Toronto at Staple. I arrived at about 10:30, wandering upstairs to hang out with Patrick, Gigi, and some random carpenter guy named Nick. Fil Latorre was spinning some serious house on the decks downstairs. Dana wasn’t there, but her sister, Erin, was. Alot of recognizable regulars were there, as well as a […]
One of my coworkers, Damien, an intern, was going back to college at USC or somewhere, so a bunch of us decided to go out and send him off drinking. We met up at a local bar a little ways from the office. A lot of people showed up to hang out with Damien, before […]
