Flyers from Summer WHERE ITs AT! gigs...

Hello, helloooo, HELLOOO!!!

Yes, it looks like I've been on hiatus for the entire summer. I apologize to those of you who have been waiting for a new post from me. It seems as though I've had quite the summer and start of fall. A lot has happened! Many more Wake the Towns at Mad Dog in the Fog, a new reggae night added at the Missouri Lounge in the East Bay last Thur of the month and best of all, I've started 2 new Soul nights in SF! I have a bi-monthly (every 2nd/4th Fridays) and a once a month (usually last Wed) at Mad Dog in the Fog and Otis, respectively. The nights are called Where It's At! & Soul Fever. I share the decks with my dj partners in crime, Shawn & DJ Big Willie. We play everything from 60s R&B to Motown/Tamla/Gordi, to funky, funky soul, disco soul & boogie! We do it the old school way, strictly vinyl, baby!





The next Where It's At! is actually this Friday night, October 16th! We're doing a special night, since last weekend we traveled down to Morro Bay for a friend's wedding. In addition to this, on the 17th, I will be guest DJing with Covi & Ryan at Funk & Soul at the Noc Noc on Haight & Fillmore! Two nights of fantastic, booty shakin' tunes in the Lower Haight! Don't miss it! Where It's At! will be back on track for the 4th Friday next week!

Okay, now that I'm back up and running with my blog, let me collect a few pics to post for ya'll and I'll update you on what's been going on and where we'll be going next! Keep your eyes and ears sharp! See ya soon! Cheers!!!

special WAKE THE TOWN this Saturday!

A special Memorial Day weekend edition, as well as special East Bay location: Wake the Town, Hotshots of Rocksteady and Reggae will be heading into the East Bay town of Oakland for the second time!

This is a monthly DJ night that happens every 1st Saturday of the month at Mad Dog in the Fog in Lower Haight...but for all of our fans, friends and family, we're throwing a bonus party in the East Bay! Parkway Lounge is a fantastic spot, good strong drinks and a snazzy atmosphere. If you were here on our first bonus night back in January, you know it was off the hook! Starts @ 10pm and goes till closing. Be sure to wear your dancing shoes 'cause you won't be sitting down for long!

Specialty "Roach Coaches" are all the rage!

I just logged on to my blogger and got a notice that my friend Mireya of el Ponk! fame just finished blogging about the Kogi BBQ Truck that has been creating such a buzz around L.A.. A friend of mine is working on getting a chowder and seafood truck going here in the SF/Bay area and I recently read an article in Dwell magazine (well, March's issue, anyway) about mobile eateries. Check out the article here: http://www.dwell.com/articles/mobile-eateries-square-meal.html

"With street food enjoying a renaissance across the United States, it may no longer be necessary to steer clear of trailer fare. From coast to coast, top chefs are trading frenzied restaurant kitchens for the tight quarters of a mobile unit, transforming what we can expect from meals on wheels." *Taken from the Dwell blog site.

Kogi BBQ Truck website: http://kogibbq.com/

My old hood in L.A. was full of these trucks during afterhours on the weekends and a few regulars could be found all nights of the week...however!...they're the O.G. ones, offering typical Mexican/Salvadorean fare and cheap prices to go along with the tasty food. Rambo's Taco's always made me laugh...but they had quite the following! Guess with all this hubub about the Kogi trucks and the other guys spotlighted in the Dwell article, we'll be seeing more of a variety of food offerings! Convenient, and a novel experience included!

Oh, if you're in L.A., here's the locations where you're gonna wanna be for the Kogi:

Roja
6PM-9PM@JANM - 1st & Central in Little Tokyo
10:00PM-1AM@4100 Bar - 4100 Sunset Blvd. in Silverlake

Verde
6PM-9PM@Miracle Mile - Wilshire & Cloverdale
10PM-1AM@Sawtelle - Check our Twitter

They're gonna be in my old hood tomorrow night: Eagle Rock...Oh well...I'm a couple of years too late!
