So after riding each slide 50 times we camped out by the pool dancing. Here are some of the usual suspects...

I am so jealous!

All we had was a cake fight.

And here is my new favorite I met this trip, Diego. Mmmmmmm.....
(if you can actually look past his face you'll see the stage and gogo dancers, insane!)

That night I was a good boy and stayed in because I knew Saturday was gonna be big and since I'm a geezer compared to these kids I needs my sleep.

Saturday was the "big" event at this indoor stadium not much smaller than Madison Square Garden it seemed. Peter Rauhoffer was headlining so I was real curious to hear him play for these faggots. Some NYC style was sort of needed. And since the week before when we dressed up as sailors for Love Ball all the boys wanted to do costumes again. (I created a monster!) Jakob, who loves dresing up came up with a simple yet effective idea of army costumes. Saturday we trolled the army/navy stores for costumes and props and came out looking like this...

If only Daddy, but, how shall I put this...let's just say we're 2 of the same end of an xlr cable.

I'm not that technical but I think I get your drift.

You guys look like The Andrews Sisters.

The A/N stores here are genius cause they are so cheap. Look what I picked up for glamnerd for just 3 euros! It's some kind of primitive gas mask...

HA! That's exactly what I told the ex-wife in an email telling her about the night. I am my fathers son!

She told me.

So we sauntered into the event around 2am and it was packed on the floor with gigantic led screens onstage and full rave laser show. Those silly green lasers like from the video for Relax have made a fierce comeback and I have to say they look really good. And it's not just the drugs...I think. Ultra Nate performed but in some kind of fucked up logic they put her on FIRST, followed by 2 mediocre acts. The second performer apparently thought that if she just screamed into the mic it meant she was soulful. But because her remake of this crap song "I Need A Miracle" is the song of summer people went crazy. I sat that one out. After what seemed like an insufferably long show Peter came on fiercely. The crowd was going absolutely bezerk. We all looked at each other like, "Oh shit this is gonna be a good night." Now I've only heard him dj before at Gary 49 a year ago so that's all I have to go on. I loved what he played then but I knew this would be different cause the venue was slightly bigger. But the second half of his set things turned and he kind of lost the crowd. I don't know if he went TOO New York on them or what but the energy just sort of dropped. But no matter everyone stayed till the very end and as the lights came on the faint beginning of "Aint Nobody" spilled from the speakers and I had a fierce last dance with my boys.

The big weekend afterhours club here is called Souvenir and is about 30 minutes outside of town. Buses were chartered to take everyone there but I opted for home. 7:30am I staggered into my flat for a little puff puff puff time and then off to bed. Tonight Offer Nissim is playing the closing party but I'm definitely skipping that. Think it will just be me and Tom Spanbauer's "Now Is The Hour". My ears need a break. Adios for now!

Tom Spanbauer's "Now Is The Hour"

Good choice.
"Nobody slams the door of a pick-up truck like a girl from Idaho".

enjoy.

Werk Sammy. Love my new present! Something tells me I'll be wearing it in November! xxx miss you.

Hola guapos! I know it's been a while since I posted but 2 things have happened. 1, I left my camera in the dressing room at Razz last week and 2, I'm sick. But let me back it up and fill you in...

So last week, Thursday to be exact, Cut Copy were in town to play a dj set at Razz. Cut Copy is this fierce band from Australia. You may have heard thier tracks: Hearts On Fire, Lights & Music, and numerous cool remixes including one they did of Never Forget Tonight by Fleetwood Mac (really gorge mommy!). So me keyan, reuben, and jared abbott (member that lil hustler that used to hang around the Park and Cock- like a mini gant johnson) who was visiting from Madrid all decided to go. Well, we proceeded to get completely off our faces and dance for 3 and a half hours to this fabtastic disco/nu-disco set by Cut Copy. I don't think the bpm's went above 120. I was in heaven! They even busted out the original extended mix of "I Want Your Love" by Chic but brought it in halfway through the track during the breakdown. I only mention this because Daddy that is a "trick" you taught me. I was living. Afterwards we all went to Keyan's for a chill out and ended up watching Party Monster which i had never seen. Interesting. Made me homesick in a way. Natasha Leonne as Brooke was my fave. I was howling. Went home at 11am. Been a while since TAHT happened.

Friday evening woke up and realized I was supposed to go back to Razz because Tasty Tim was in town playing. So did everything I could to make myself look halfway human and headed back over to Razz. It was great to see Tasty and we had a nice catchup in the dressing room but I got so drunk I left my stupid camera there and still don't know if anyone found it. Urgh!

Sunday a group of us went to Sitges which is this small beach town located 30 minutes outside of Barcelona. It's overrun with gays during the summer. The beach is better than Barcelona because you can actually walk out pretty far and the waves are decent for body surfing. YES, I bodysurf! What?!?!?

Unfortunately I caught a cold that seems to be circulating among all the putis here so it's been a real quiet week. Tomorrow is Keyan's birthday so I'm sure I'll wind up dead somewhere on Sunday. Oh well. Will write more and hopefully have pics to post on Monday...XO

Well I'm glad to see that you are making such good progress on Ableton Live.




Just kidding.
You're young, Have fun Pickles.
And remember, there is always "Plan B":
Get a rich husband.

And thanks for reminding me of that "trick" I taught you.
I should use it once in a while myself!

Daddy, would you rather read "Sat in front of computer for 3 hours trying to comprehend MIDI plug-ins." or "Woke up in a pile of my own sick again." I mean, I know my "audience".

True.


As far as Ableton...
Don't bother trying to learn it on your lonesome.
It takes way too long.
You need someone to start you off and set you up.

My advise is go to the beach and try and find someone to help you get started.
