*******************************

The week seems to go by faster and faster. There's always something kerrazzzy happening. If i did drugs id be in baaad shape. luckily im just a cheap date. Two drinks maybe one more and im GOOOOOD. Ok Scanners survived Los Angeles and San Francisco - they did Cinespace Tuesdays then Moscow on Wednesday then Pop Scene on Friday then three photo shoots for Swindle, Dim Mak Collection, & Check it Out Magazine then played three gigs on Monday. We officially signed them on Dim Mak and we are all very excited.
First with a sold out show with another Dim Mak artist THE RAKES

an acoustic set at Danny Masterson and Brent Bolthouse's "FEEL MY HEAT" on Indie 103.1
then later for the The Rakes Afterparty at Starshoes w/ DJ Kid Jeans - Danny Masterson and myself.


and we all ended up at the Dim mak/Cobrasnake HQ for a night cap before The Rakes & Scanners had to fly back to London.

After bidding farewell to our UK buddies, we started planning for Mr. Cobrasnake's B-Day party at Cinespace on our tuesday party...

We had Kissing Tigers & The Shys play in the back room

Mickey Avalon stood on the DJ booth and rocked out some "Jane Fonda"

THe kids were doing dannce bombs on the floor

Mark blew out his 18 candles that CLub Cory decorated

Then we ate cake.

I got drunk.

Them Jeans got drunk.

From here on out I'm not sure what happened but this is what i found out...
I sold my shirt off my back. lucklly club cory was there to make sure i didnt sell off anything else.

i fell asleep somewhere not in my bed.

then got a ride home. good thing i didnt drive...

thats what Cinespace tuesdays is like all summmer...... I djed at Wildcat in Santa barbara to a packed out party last night but nothing compares to lalaland.

ON TO THIS KEERRAAAZZZZED OUT WEEEEK!!! SAN DIEGO/COMICON TO HAMPTONS/WESC TO LOS ANGELES/GNARLS BARKLEY AFTERPARTY TO LAS VEGAS/TAO TO NEW YORK CITY/MARQUEE TO CHICAGO/DARKWAVE DISCO AND BACK TO LA/LAX HOTLAVA AGAIN!!!! FREQUENT FLYER MILES!!

So Comicon is happening down in San Diego and I'll be djing a party at Belo down there to support the new release of Level 5's new vinyl figure of none other than BRUCE LEE in Game of Death. Dim Mak has now since collaborated with Level 5 and they asked us to present their newest vinyl figure to the world. It makes perfect sense for us, after all, I decided on the name Dim Mak 10 years ago based on my obsession with Bruce Lee. It's a perfect fit. The new Bruce Lee vinyl figure will come with a Dim Mak Records sampler and our imprint inside the nunchuckus booklet. All hail Bruce Lee...
I fly out the next day to dj for buddies WE SC for their fashion show in the Hamptons. Then back to LA on Monday for super star buddies GNARLS BARKLEY's official afterparty at a private event. Tuesday at Cinespace we have YOUNG LOVE performing... This is the singer from the band RECOVER except they are really fucking good. Well its just him but they are pretty fucking killer and are on Ultragrrrl's label Stolen Transmissions. Go Sarah L & Rob Stevenson! They are playing with LOLA RAY who are also from NYC and rocked the DIM MAK SHOWCASE at CMJ. Two great bands from the east coast playing at Cinespace.. In the front room will be the ever illustrious THEM JEANS and special guest djs BLUE GEMZ & BLAKE MILLER from MOVING UNITS/WEIRD SCIENCE. Blake will drop our newest Weird Science remixxxx out on the dance floor this TUESDAY of YOUNG LOVE's "DISCOTECH"!!!
It'll knock your knees on the floor. I'll be djing at TAO in the VEnetian in Las Vegas for a BODOG POKER AFTERPARTY. Then i Fly back to NYC for my residency at MARQUEE Friday I come back to Chicago to dj at DARK WAVE DISCO at SONOTHEQUE This will be my second time at Dark Wave Disco and im pretty pscyched about being back. Then i come home to LAlaland for HOT LAVA LAX next saturday. Let's party!
