you never know when love is coming your way...
It appears that Liquified has pulled out of Opera/Eleven50 and made Wetbar their official venue for bringing house DJ to Atlanta. Who could blame them? The space is much bigger, and I am sure that the owners of Wetbar are happy, because I am really surprised the place is still open. It is never near capacity on a regular Saturday night. I was thrilled to see that Kaskade, one of my favorite DJs, will be returning to Atlanta on September 22. Get ready for a an amazing night of music.
And Ryan (Kaskade) will be releasing his next mix CD compilation titled "Bring the Night" on August 21st. Stay tuned for details....

and then i go and drop the bombshell, upon you.
whew....that was exhausting. goodbye weekend.
i like to think of myself as a very easygoing guy. there are very few things that upset me or cause me to become angry. but poor communication and customer service can really work my nerve. after my air conditioner went on the fritz mid-week, i learned just how lucky or is it privileged we are go come home to a house that is 72 degrees.
by friday i was ready to leave the 84 degree desert at my condo, and the fact that it took until saturday to get someone out to my place had me in a full-on fag storm. i admit that part of the breakdown in communication has to do with me leaving my cell phone at Beardy's, but when i give simple instructions to a technician on the phone and he still manages to do the exact opposite, well, i just don't have time for that. i guess they don't call it Fort Knox for nothing.
i managed to release some stress with a bike ride, and later Beardy came over to inform me of his new job offer. so i treated him to a celebratory dinner at ECCO.
Jill and Walt's birthday brunch was a lot of fun. I had no idea that it would be such a big event, so I found several opportunities to inform everyone of the "Welcome to my Home" video on youtube. and, after a few sangrias, i managed to do a few impersonations. What??
as my trip to Ptown grows closer, i now focus on the T Shirts and CD. methinks i need to send a little email to DJ David LaSalle.......

the sun rising up
thank you, Tony, for filling me with such envy that i was forced to place an APB to mr. frank green and commence the Ptown planning early. it appears that someone has chronicled the July 4th holiday up on the cape through a series of photos, taken from the various parties that week. looks like much fun, but i can bet that none of the queens received a special "thank you" on the loudspeaker from none other than DJ David LaSalle for coming out and supporting him on the decks. johnbrown and i did, however, after attending a marathon dance session spanning two weeks. yeah, we might have gone to the A House every single night. but why not? there is nothing better than meeting Olivia and dancing your ass of to some of the finest house music in a club that closely resembles The Red Lobster on Cobb Parkway. after all, it is one of the oldest bars/clubs in the nation. now if i can only find a way to have Beardy join me in the promised land, even if it were only to amount to a couple of days.....
but first, i must prepare for the third of our Out & About events this sunday at Shout. of course, i have yet to mix and prepare the CD we intend to give out to the first 50 people through the door. but i tend to perform better under pressure. stay tuned.

took an oath, i'mma stick it out 'till the end
well hello.
sorry for the lapse in blogging, but i have been buzy with other things.
here's what has been going on.... Pride '07 came and left so very quickly. i have to admit that it was refreshing to be able to attend the Sunday parade without having to dodge lightning bolts and downpours. john and erik's brunch was again a huge success, and the Sanctuary realty party on sunday afternoon was off the hook. I, for one, thought that seeing Chris Naeve dancing shirtless was well worth the $20 donation I made at the door.
Hottie McBearderton has now become Hottie McBoyfriend and i am really excited about that. It's funny, just when you think you have met everyone in this town, this awesome person comes into your life. He keeps me laughing and that is very important to me.
and now my focus turns to PTown, which is lest than 2 months away.....must....get....to.....gym.......

you can stand under my umbrella, eh eh eh
i don't know why i love sundays so much. but i do. here's how it went down yesterday....
i had finished the hard part of creating the promo CD "heal" for out out & about event - ie. actually mixing the cd live, recording it, then using music editing software to "cut" the individual tracks. cause i know how johnbrown loves it so much when i give him one of my mixes and it is one single track. but what i didn't realize is how long it would take to burn all 50 cds. long story short --- i bike to get my car, stop by office depot for supplies, and spend the entire day burning cds and labels, reminding myself along the way that my time and effort will hopefully have an impact on a child in need. Rainbow house really is an important charity.
cut to Shout where after some major technical adjustments i was able to hook my equipment into both the house system as well as the enormous JBLs surrounding the "dj booth". of course i wasn't even close to being set up when a couple of queens working the very last bit of serotonin from memorial day weekend in pensacola were requesting, no demanding that i play "Glamorous", the chris cox remix of "hurt", and the new enrique iglesias "ping pong song". when i replied that i didn't have any of those songs (and not really sad about it one bit), they scowled at me in disgust. i mean really. these guys think that if i don't have the newest Tony Moran big room circuit remix of "insert any tired diva vocalist" then i am not a good dj. whatever. i am sorry if you find out about the hottest new songs by buying the latest Masterbeat cd compilation. yawn.
the party was very well attended, and as per usual, there was a whole slew of beautiful men i have never seen before. equally, there were several out & about regulars, many that i know very well. so well that at one point i looked up only to see 4 guys within a six feet radius of me with whom i have slept with. great.
when the place became real crowded, i caved in and played what they wanted to hear. as someone told me on sunday, "you can't change them". they want to hear kimberley locke, heather headley, and christina. and if i can keep these boys happy, drinking, and spending their money, then that is what i will do.
i managed to throw in some older tracks between the whomped up thunderpuss-double-extended-eleven-minute-big-room-club-house-diva-remixes. and like clockwork, they ate it up. i mean how can you not enjoy hearing a remix of echo and the bunnymen- lips like sugar? on a side note, i might have ended the night with the hot chip remix of amy winehouse - rehab.
flippy and the assistant were kind enough to help transport my equipment back to my condo. and then it we headed over to the assistant's pad for a post Shout recap. jarrett (my bearded date from tuesday) and dori (the love of my life) joined us, and over a few beers, we recounted the night and solved ALL of the worlds problems....... and then there was monday.

ever since the day we walked away, i don't care who's to blame
yesterday's cookout at Mark and Chris's newly renovated bungalow on Elmwood was much fun. what started out as a housewarming quickly turned into a celebration for several reasons. first, it was both mark and chris's birthdays. and we were also welcoming jeff and his boyfriend craig to town from chicago for a visit. and finally it provided an opportunity to see their new home. after nearly a year of stress, meetings with contractors and architects, and a big chunk of money, they have moved back in to a really beautiful home. i'm not jealous, but i did notice that the master closet is as big as my 700 square foot condo.
burgers and hot dogs were served. as well as a keg of beer which is trouble because you just seem to lose count after about three trips to the tap. an eclectic mix of people gathered to celebrate. and we did. i managed to get a checker cab home just before midnight. now that's respectable.
next up: out & about @ Shout. see you there.
