kendig is a gorgeous man and excellent dj. it was very brunette v. blonde. detroit tech v. east village electro. two great tastes that taste great together...
it looks like we're pulling back, though. going monthly instead of weekly for the rest of the summer.
tomorrow i'm playing juanita more's BOOTY CALL at the bar on castro. love her. love her work. and it's always a hot, sweaty mess at this wednesday night. owwww!!!
i'm not sure you know him, dadz. i've just met him since i've been here. he's VERY handsome. cover boy for the guardian (our version of the voice) during gay pride week. spins vinyl and cd's, mixes well, and has a high-quality collection of vintage and new stuff.
i wish you had been here to judge the battle but you would prob'ly have been dazzled by his good looks and would've been able to talk with him about music that i don't know and at the end of the night i'd be walking home trophy-less and you'd be walking home with him!!!
you're right about juanita, though. LOVE LOVE LOVE her!!!!
well, then it would have been a hard win. i think in the "divas to the dancefloor, pleeez" category i had him beat. but he's got skills. and vinyl.
i know you'd have been fair but, c'mon... you're MY daddy. fathers are always tough on their children. and children are always tough on their parents.
actually, dadz... not to get too brown, but... there is a certain lesson you gave me as a young dj that i remember all the time when i see a dj carrying on a lil' too much in his/her own booth... "never look like you're having more fun than anyone else in the room." if only some of these children had a daddy like you...
last night's booty call was a hit. always is. i pulled out my house favorites of the last decade or so and let them HAVE it!! juanita played first in full beat, big wig, gorgeous gown. so fierce!! is there anything she doesn't do well??
(p.s. there's NOBODY as handsome as your wife! can't wait to see you two out here!!!!!)

That's what Daddy's are for. People have no idea how important that type of "DJ information" is.
I remember years ago (in the 80's) Frankie Knuckles taught me a major DJ lesson. He took me aside one day at the record pool, put me on his knee and said, "Johnny, Always put your cologne on right after you get out of the shower. That way it gets soaked into your skin. It will last the entire night and way into the AM". He was right and I never forgot it. To this day chicks come up to me at about 6AM at GARY 49 and say, "Wow, what is that aftershave you are wearing? You still smells so fresh. You are really a good DJ".
The next lesson from Frankie was at the opening of Crobar in 2003. We were playing together in the main room. I was still insisting on playing vinyl. For the purity of it. (A pain in the ass!) He walks in with this tiny man purse of a CD book and rules. He just looked at my hundreds of bulky records and said, "Are you nuts? Girl, switch to CDs. I've got more music in this little book than you do on all those damn records".
I mean if "The Godfather" could throw away vinyl as easily as that, what the hell was I doing holding on to the past.
I switched the next day.
"Welcome to the 21st century Daddy" Sammy Jo said when I told him.
this one i got from sammy jo when i tried to refuse coins for a gig that was his that he very generously brought me in on... "we get paid for what we do."
the herrera bros. (homochic.com, moneyshot mondays, the house of herrera) are FIERCE producers/promoters who refuse to use paper flyers. check out their latest video promo for a party here next week...
They really are amazing those brothers. You gotta get Daddy to play at MoneyShot. He would WRECK them and they would kill him. I'll never forget the "Poppers Dance Off Competition" when Keer filled his clown nose with amyl and practically passed out on stage. Good times, good times...
moneyshot may go monthly now. we'll see. for now they're taking a break to do other events and prepare for burning man. (time to fire that topic back up!)
but i'm putting the herreras on my guest list for TT V so the proper introductions can be made for daddy to come play with us sometime soon.
"Bromance" Hon, I could smell the B.O. right through the interweb!!!
Seriously... Very clever. I remember Pickles telling me about the "Poppers Dance Off". I peed my panties! And was more than a little bit jealous of never having thought of it myself!
BTW Friday was my last shower/deoderant. I want to be ready for San Francisco. 4 days in New York with 90 degree heat should do it.
She might be on her way to Santa Fe to visit S'tan.
But getting a powerful Faerie B.O. culture is a good idea. It's like a good yogurt culture. Get a good one started and it will be powerful. I have been seeing a lot of Pinto lately. I guess I could get some from him.

Hey Dadz...sorry to miss out on this trip. Out in Santa Fey, awaiting JB's arrival, back and forth b/w here and Zuni (talk about a "no shower" zone - I really should be there with you, Empress and Baz). Have a gorgeous trip, and I hope to be reporting from "Elsewhere" very soon.
