myplay Retrospective

I saw the ad in Craigslist and popped a resume off. I was living in San José at the time and needed a job badly. Unfortunately, I had no corporate experience to speak of. It was the first resume I’d ever sent in response to an ad on Craigslist, but ten minutes later (even before […]

Namaste

Namaste at Kelly’s Mission Rock tonight and I could barely contain myself. I went to pick up Patrick and Gigi at their place and dragged them down to China Basin. Tonight: Ellen Ferrato, Travis, Ra Soul, and Jenö. We arrived about 9:30, and waited a few minutes before they let us free people in. There […]

Back to the Source

Emmett and Megan went with me to the Rawhide tonight for Back to the Source, which featured a bunch of DJs whose names don’t ring any particular bells, but the music was great and I danced alot. There was an incredibly cute Aussie chick there, dancing with everyone, and Sally was there again. Finally, Ernie, […]

Cleaning Out the Cubicle

I went back to my old cubicle today to clean up my incredibly messy workspace and migrate some e-mail and MP3 files to my Linux box at home. Of course, as soon as I started the upload for even a second, either the PacBell line or the office connection would go. I was in my […]


Laid Off

Today, I was met at the door when I got to work by one of my coworkers, who took me to a member of the executive team. The somber look on his face worried me a little. “We had to make some tough choices and that included laying some people off. Unfortunately, we have to […]


Travel Plans and Jazz Tickets

When I got to work today, I noticed an item in my mailbox. The envelope in the slot turned out to be my airline tickets for the 2001 Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. Next Tuesday afternoon, I’m getting on a plane for Spokane. My brother is picking me up at the airport and I get to […]

Elsewhere

The big boggle today was where to go and what to do. I discovered, after some research, that Elsewhere had moved from the Rawhide to Galaxy Club up on the Upper Haight. I had never been to Galaxy before, so I went to pick up Patrick & Gigi. it was raining pretty hard, so we […]

Imperial Dub Dance Party

After work, I zipped home, took a disco nap, and called everyone—Ernie, Patrick & Gigi, Booty (whom I failed to reach)—to let them know about the Imperial Dub Dance Party, celebrating Dubtribe Sound System‘s tenth anniversary. I knew that this was going to be the party. When I arrived, Corey Black was spinning downstairs and […]

Staple at Bohemia Lounge

Fil Latorre (of the Staple crew) sent around an e-mail invite about a party in the city tonight, in which he and Inhuman were spinning. I missed the last one and I so desperately miss Staple, so I went. I got to the place about 10:30, or round thereabouts. The venue: bohemia lounge at California […]

1200 Lounge

1200 Lounge tonight in the city, after Chinese dinner with Steve. I watched Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000) earlier. One thing I noticed, and I’m sure you have as well, is how hard it is to drive normally after watching a movie like that. It’s like playing Cruisin’ World, or some similar game and remembering […]
