so saturday was one of those "only in san francisco" kinda days...
the herrera bros., jacob (aka dee jay pee play),
and i produced a float for san francisco's lovefest - a parade thru the city and a party in the GORGEOUS civic center here featuring GIANT sound systems and electronic music.
when we went to the producer's meeting on tuesday we realized we were the ONLY gay contingent.
and we didn't know what the hell we were doing.
we were kinda freaking out when we left that meeting til the fortune cookie i got at dinner afterwards told me: "something on 4 wheels will soon be a fun investment for you!"
then we knew we had to get 'er done.

i woke up at 6:30 on a cold wet saturday morning after dj'ing at a club til 2:00 the night before. i thought, "why? do i really have to do this??" but when our goth-y little float that could started rolling down the street and the sun broke thru the clouds it all turned around.
we never expected to have so much fun!

i almost peed when we rounded the corner into the civic center. then again when i realized that the 'mo's in charge of the event had given us the BEST spot on the plaza - directly opposite city hall, the side where the sun lasts the longest, front and center!!
and our music was eclectic and diverse and top notch. i was so proud of everyone!!

so... kudos us!! the homochic crew ROCKED it!!

homochic, hny sndsystm, and wulfpak present:

Yeah, good thing she was able to "find" that track. Love th pics, looks fab! Hope you're getting lotsa practice before the 13th comes he he he...

Damn!
If I didn't know better I'd think she was a real DJ!
I hope she "found" that version of "Paris Is Burning" that I sent her.
I'm looking forward to hearing it on the 13th.

And that handsome Leo Herrera looks very familiar.
I believe I know him.
I think we shared a bottle of poppers once.

When you first told me about "Death Of Shade" I thought it was a stupid idea but I was wrong (as usual) it looks great.

What the hell do I know?

Can't wait to see you all in New York next week!

having trouble "finding" the paris is burning.
gonna try again now but it wasn't downloading.

as always... THANKS to my mentors for showing me a thing or two!!
