And biggest apologies for anyone in my neighborhood - I'm sure you're not appreciating of the fact that probably only my face appears in recent posts in your 'hood. But too bad, I'm on a slacking spree and you're my victim!
So to follow-up on my last entry, I decided to go from the club to a warehouse party to support some of my DJ buddies. I had been afraid that since it was so late, I would've missed their sets. Luckily, my buddy dale, DJ Cloudkicker, hadn't played yet and I really wanted to catch his set. So I ran home real quick, drank a glass of water (I was MAD dehydrated myself, not sure why) stopped and got some gum, and then headed to the warehouse party. It really worked out well for both Dale and I. His gf had backed out on him so he had to catch a ride from someone else and that ride was leaving, so he needed a ride home. Well, I didn't feel like paying to get into the party and Dale had a guestlist spot. So, I promised him I'd give him a ride home if he gave me his guestlist. Sweet.
The event itself was nothing spectacular, but Dale did rock the house. Saw some of the "kids" in the scene I don't bump into too often (by kids I mean the younger crowd, some are even under 18). I also caught part of the set from a former Subterrania DJ, Supergirl. She's a cool girl but just didn't fit within the scope of what we wanted from our DJ collective a few years ago, so we gave her the boot. Her set was as cheesy was always, but her mixing skills have gotten a LOT better since the last time I heard her spin. After her is when Dale played, and I was excited to see him work that crowd really well. Too bad the poor guy was so nervous, he didn't enjoy the set as much as he could've. The last DJ I saw was another friend of mine, DJ Hyperglycerine, part of that kid crew. I wasnt' that excited for what he was playing (hardcore at 3am isn't bueno in my book) but he definitely had the kids there jumping. I was pretty envious, I wish I had a bunch of kids to follow me around and cheer me on just for the sheer fact that I'm their buddy. I ended up taking off around 3:30 to drop Dale off then head home. I did however leave my DJ needles there for Gavain (Hyperglycerine) to use because he forgot his... I told him I wanted them back Saturday otherwise he couldn't have them - I just got them back last night, ugh. Here are some of my favorite snaps from the party:
As for my Saturday, it was pretty uneventful. My old ass can't quite handle the party all night shit the way it used to, so I slept in and spent most of the day being lazy. Sunday on the other hand got way out of hand. My friend was having a birthday party at a local club, and my friend Tony was spinning so I figured I HAD to check it out. I was planning on going long enough to catch Tony's set, mingle a bit, and leave. Yeah, that's not quite how things worked out. Tony's set got delayed a bit because one of the stages wasn't set up. Eventually they got it all worked out, he went on, and towards the end of his set a bunch more friends (I don't know why I say friends, they're all more acquaintances than anything) keep showing up. I was doing well about drinking for the most part, then all of the sudden I got my hands on the magic beer cup - it just kept refilling itself, it was great. The kicker was the shot of Patron someone talked me into doing. Okay, well she's hot and I figured doing a shot with her wouldn't be a bad thing.
Anyway, the whole Sunday thing was a ton of fun. It really wasn't a dance event or anything like that, even though there were 3 stages with a buttload of DJs, it was definitely more of a social event, kind of like Kazmos. I ended up being there until after midnight, and had to give a ride to my inebriated former business partner (I knew as soon as I saw him that I'd have to, he had that "I need a ride home" gleem in his eye, bastard). He threw $3 my way though, so I can't complain. He offered more but I figured I wouldn't take advantage of his drunken state (in a monetary way of course... I'm neither a pitcher nor a catcher so don't even go there). Back to that girl I mentioned buying a shot for... she's 20 and somehow was given a 21+ wristband by the door guy. I've been friends with her on myspace for awhile and have dropped casual hints of interest in her direction. Yes, 20 is definitely under that standard I've set for age of people I'll date, but she's really attractive and seemingly has a good head on her shoulders. She reminds me a lot of my ex in HS, Heather. Don't know if that's good or bad. I spent a fair amount of the late evening drooling over her, drinking, and talking with my buddies. All in all, the event was a lot of fun. But as it was probably evident, I suffered for it on Monday. Here are my fave pics from Sunday (there's a few in there my friends were kind enough to take for me, normally I don't end up in ANY):
Other than the partying on Sunday, I had a chance to chat with my mom. It sounds like things are going okay in her world. Luckily all that flooding and tornado action didn't effect her area. The only bummer thing to hear is that she's now starting to poke around a bit for a new job. She's not real happy with her boss - one of her coworkers yelled at her about something and her boss did nothing about it, claiming that the coworker was yelling at him, not her (??) and my mom went to their HR department while her boss was on vacation and told them what was going on. Apparently her boss is being a dick now that he knows what she did, so she's seeing if there's something better she can do with her time (and hopefully something that'll pay her what she deserves, she's not making shit at her current job). Otherwise though, she seems pretty happy. She's excited that the 4th of July is drawing closer since she'll be in town visiting. She's not too excited about my possible interview with another Denver company, but would rather me do that than just stay where I am and be unhappy for awhile.
