3-13-09 Friday, OVERLOOK

I simply dont get it, but my boy Harry came by to hang out with me again! We were PACKED! AS usual, and I always have laughs with the door guy Jeff. Hesabout 25 years old but no joke, he has to walk thru doors sideways because he so HUGE! Like a refrigerator! Funny guy and lots of laughs with me. Yeah good crowd, but at one point some guy came over to request a song and I had it so that was good, but then he wanted to talk for a min and I explained that I was tired so he offered me a "BUMP" I said "nah im cool" and he explained that he doesnt have any, but his friend does. That always makes me laugh! Good night tho!

3-12-09 Thursday, PORKYS

We had a great crowd tonite. I don't know why but man I was exhausted! Couldnt wait to leave, BUT it was a great night anyway. Nothing really big happened other then a good night. Porkys is always fun, and I enjoy playing there.

3-11-09 Wednesday, CRAZYLEGS

Tonite started out with a very long trip to brooklyn because of traffic. Usually I get thee within 30mins, but this time it took me about an hour, and i left my house about 15mins later then usual, BUT my boy Harry was there with me - maybe he banged his head cuz he's been out with me twice in one week, usually its twice in a year! But thats ok, it was great to have him abord.
CrazyLegs Skate Club Skate party is definitely one of my favorite parties to play at. The people there are so cool, they skate amazing, they dance great.....I just can't say enough good stuff about them. The good news is that the feeling seems to be mutual - THEY LOVE ME! I gotta say I was dead on point last night, new r&b, Classic r&b, classic dance, early 80's skate music, classic deep house.....these people were loving it and I loved playing it.
It's tricky because of the diversity of the crowd, both age and ethnicity, but I really enjoy playing for them.

3-8-09 Sunday, Notes

Last thurs, feb 26 I took the night off from Porky's because I was exhausted and had a Headache, and there was a Beer Pong Tournament (HUH?) so I wasnt missed, and on fri Feb 27th i did play at Overlook, but nothing happened! it was all good! So nothing really to report.

3-7-09 Saturday, People Lounge

People Lounge one of my favorite places to spin. Again a little slow because of St. PAtricks day in Hoboken, AND tonite we had to set the clock ahead! My friend Jay Mirable who has a radio show every sunday called the DFK RADIO SHOW 1 - 4PM - MYWCWP.com, came by to keep me company and that was great and appreciated. The place kicked-ass, but I wasnt sure if we were staying till 5, which is the old 4 or closing at the new 4 which is the old 3....we compromized and killed it at the new 4:30. And at 4:30 we were packed, but the bar can't serve after 4 (new or old....) so they did till 4:30, didn't get a fine, and i left, starving and tired.
If u read the last People post, I will tell u that the owners had a talk with the friday guy and he did put the equipment back together when he left, he did loose the USB cable which connects the mixer to my computer so i can use Serato dj software, but the clubowners took the cable off of their printer and that was that. I will say tho that nothing was connected correctly, he even changed dip-switch settings in the back of the mixer so NOTHING worked AFTER I got a USB cable, but who cares, Im done complaining.

3-6-09 Friday, Overlook

Tonite at Overlook I was surprized to se that my boy Harry came by to hang out with me. He rode his mountain bike down to nyc, did whatever he was there for then he came by to hang out with me which was great, around 11pm he grabbed the bike and got on the train to get home - very cool. Harry if ur reading this I really appreciate the visit! Nothing big happened there but let's see....on thursday the 5th they got a new felt on the pool table that they bring out late nite, so it looks brand-new except for these black dirt spots all over it, and this was the next night....I asked the bar back, who is an older spanish guy, why the brand new felt looks all messed up, this was his answer.....in an older spanish very heavy accented voice "the fucking guy last night" I don't know man, hes a really cool guy but that makes me laugh
Again the Hoboken thing slowed us down a little, but we were still packed later on. I put on a mix so I could take a little break and played pool with one of the chef's there, Ben. Hes a cool dude, but killed me in pool - it was funny because he got 4 balls in on his break which made us both laugh a bit....but I still lost.

3-5-09 Thursday, Porkys

Porkys tonite was kinda slow, and it's because this sat - 3-7-09 - is St. Patricks Day in Hoboken NJ. It seems that everyone is getting ready to drink there on sat so everything is NYC is slow because of that. Porkys is set in between Duvet and Citrine (gotta try to get a job at these places), two great lounge/clubs, they were dead too and it's also across the street from The Slate...also a little dead. I'm sure we'll be back next thurs. The street that all of us are onis 21st street between 5th and 6th, it is so crazy here that we have cops lining the street, some on horses all making sure nothing gets out-of-control and they do their jobs because there is never really a problem.
