Hypocraasy at it's finest
The other day I forwarded a link regarding the Area One Concert coming to Shoreline Ampitheater this summer to everyone I know. Musical talent like Moby, Outkast, New Order, Paul OakenfoldI, the Orb, and The Roots getting togther at the request of Moby himself to entertain the masses on a pleasant summer day on the lawn. I get a reply from this guy who I work with, who I used to be really good friends with, but now we're just socially polite, or should I say he's nice when he wants something i.e. and "E" hook up or his commission checks processed faster, (but that's a story for another blog), a guy who goes dancing at least 4 nights a week with out fail, a guy who gets that "Hey I acknowledge you out there in the crowd my friend", that w'sup head jerk from many local DJs as they're spinning their set, here's how the email goes
QR-How cool would this be?
Outside Party-Too fucking corporate.
QR-Where's the love of music my man?
Outside Party-Part of the love is the scene(and I gotta lotta love). You play the best music ever created while in hell, you're still going to get a really bad burn; and things won't sound so good.
Wow, sounds like this guys stands for what he believes in huh? Did I mention that he's a COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKER? He makes a profit from the purchasing and leasing of COMMERCIAL properties, spaces that can only be occupied BUSINESSES, profit hungry machines!? This is the same guy who when given the rare gift of a free parking space for a month in our building's parking garage, tried to SELL IT FOR A PROFIT to a fellow employee!
A good friend of mine had a great response to the "too f***ing corpoarte comment-
"Who cares about the corporate when your heart is pounding, your forehead is sweaty and at some point during a hard set you look up through the flashing rainbow of lights and see a stranger dancing nearby and you both smile and in that moment you just know....its all about the music baby! wooooooooo hooooooo!!!"
And the Beat Goes On..........

p.s. Sushi date with 27 year old DJ/music maker update:Super nice, extremely mellow, no chemistry for me yet, would probably hang with him again

Up on the roof top sip, sip, sip were the women of Ladies Night May 31st, 2001. Balmy evening, bottles of wineand beer, fruit and cool whip! Here are the minutes as documented by hostess Reese. Amy and Sarah personally know one of the sexiest transexual? hermaphrodite? in San Francisco, Ali has had her fill of boobies lately, Usha has acrophobia, Lisa is continually exploring new oral sensations, Ariel is about to(read in a thick latin accent) "peddle her ass all over town", and Maggie has become detail oriented during round 2 with her beau. Reese's Racing Form in chronological order of how the surfaced:
1) 20 something 6'5' fetching broker-Used to work with me until last week, haven't spent time alone wiht him YET, but notice the capitalization of, YET
2) 27 year old aspiring writer, master lover, psychotic philosophizer-Dated him once in 99 and then again in 2000, he's moving to another continent so there's no fear of commitment while I indulge in one last romp
3) 27 year old dj-Met him ata clash theme house party(attire not the group), spun a beautiful se that mde wiggle for hours, seems very sweet on the phone, We're going to have sushi tonight so I will update tomorrow
4) 27 year old high schoold sweetheart-Emails have been going great, just hoping htat he's not preparing to humiliate me at the reunion ofr sleeping with his best friend back in the day
5) ? year old beautiful prussian named Ali, as in "Muhammad" Ali-Met him at a bar playing pool in Berkeley, just got out of an 11 year relationship so kinda clingy, him needs a fwend
6) 25 year old handsome salesman of sorts-Met him while bowling with friends, lots of chemisrty, but he focuses on that chemistry too much for my taste. I don't know why, it's not like we slept together on the first date or anything.

Germany:The Accommodations
So we're staying in a 'cultural center'/artist's commune in Berlin and our space is.......basic. The room is about thirty feet long and twelve feet wide, concrete floor, white brick walls, and the south facing wall is thirty feet of floor to ceiling window. The room came with two desks (D and I have our own work spaces) (so D andI have our own lounge spaces), a sofa, an oversized ottoman, a round end table, a locker, a small fridge and about ten times more crap we had the managers remove the first day. We were told tat we could use the two toilets on our floor, but they didn't provide the little tid bid that these indoor outhouses were also used by the patrons of the nightclub above our room. The nightclub wasan aspect they failed to mention as well. But now after four weeks a piss filled hall and thunderous dance music until eight in the morning are the familiar signs of home. Fortunately we scored the key to the dressing room one floor down, so we get to shower and stuff there. The building itself is enormous, five floors with one wing dedicated to being the gallery, and this wing with an incredibly spacious theatre and the offices on the first floor, a four screen kino on the second, multiple studios on the third and fourth, and the club on the fifth. There's a big
