Clubs, Clubs and More Clubs

Saturday night jumps off at Lego’s monthly party @ Darkroom. I love his parties, because all my good househead friends congregate to this night and it’s such a wonderful feeling of family: Buzzito, Lito and his new boyfriend, Raw food Chris, Wanda, David Sabat, Louis, Aida and Claudia to name a few. After that we head to Adam’s loft party on North Branch to hear Andre Hatchett spin. The party was the perfect size (not too crowded), and the place was actually clean! No gross raver kids drugging up the way a lot of loft parties are. My carry-on bottle of Tequila was getting quite a workout and I had a massive headache to show for it afterwards.

Sunday is the grimey Note to hear reggae… Tuesday we go to Xippo followed by Subterranean for hiphop. Yuck. Sausage fest. Then is desperation we follow some friends to Martini Ranch and that’s where I wanted to just run for the hills. Chicago Scene Magazine photographers were taking our pictures, a gross rhythmless crowd of Paris Hilton types, and the most horrible music I have ever heard. It was a miserable and miscalculated night.

So by Wednesday I am sick as hell. Fever, runny nose and restlessness. Thursday and still deathly sick, I manage to make my way to K Lounge and a packed-to-death Four.

Friday I’m with friends at Ohm and hear Roy Davis Jr. at Zentra. An old boytoy has been calling me up lately, so I finally talk to him. It’s amazing how time can erase all the bad qualities someone had and make them seem charming again. I invite him to join us, but somewhere along the night him and his friends got lost in a hiphop show and “something bad” happened. Hey, in a House club you don’t got to worry about getting shot.

5 Magazine Radio Show Back on the Air

After a two month “break”, Wednesday is the return of the 5 Magazine Radio Show… yey! Doug Brandt is still on hiatus, so ChicagoHouseRadio.com’s president Lloyd Dev has been kind enough to produce the show for now. I called ChicagoSoundSource.com’s David Sabat to DJ and host the show with me that night. We had a blast taping the show, even though Mr. Sabat was being the uber-perfectionist about his mixing. I thought the show sounded great and am so glad it’s back!

Finally Over!

FRIDAY
Friday night is our last night of recruiting, and we go to Vision. Nobody is really there, but Paul Johnson is banging it. I finish my Andre Hatchett article that night as well. The July issue finally goes to the printer. FREEDOM!!! CELEBRATE!!!!!!

Saturday night I am ready to annihilate myself. Me and Doug go to the Walgreens and stock up on those portable necklace fans that don’t work. We want to give them as presents because we know it will be hot as hell tonight. We then join Lugo Rosado at the Generator for drinks with Dana Powell. We do a crazy convoy to the 67th Street Loft Party and meet up with David Sabat. Steroid Stripper man has broken up with his crazy girlfriend (again), and is looking for something to do with his temporary replacement girl. I tell him he should try a southside party, and it takes me almost an hour to explain how to get there. I have invited 4 white people to 67th, 10 less than last time.

The party was cool, not as cool as the ones before. Plus steroid stripper man kept trying to get up on me even with his new girl there. First of all I hate disrespect like that and I told him to cut it out. Secondly I reminded him that I see him as just a friend and no longer my boytoy. Done is done. He couldn’t stand the fact that I was with someone I really liked and it was just too bad. I hope Ojay isn’t mad that I kept taking away her security :)

SUNDAY
Is today stripper day? Not only does steroid stripper man want to hang out, but another stripper/pornstar I used to know is in town for the night and wants to hang too. For some reason, chilling with 2 extremely hot men (physically only) does not appeal to me. I blow them both off in favor of alone time.

Random Trouble

More drag queen rehearsals… she’s starting to get on my nerves. I can’t wait till these shows are done.

Kenny Dope Gonzalez is supposed to be next month’s cover story but so far all 3 scheduled interview times have been moved. I have to get this done but he’s super busy.

Thursday went to Red-I to check out Stacy Kidd and DJ Fritz spinning, then myself/David Sabat/Stacy went to Tini to hear Flx play. Great music all night and a group of us stumbled to Uptown Lounge (how we ended up there of all places I don’t know). I’m getting myself into trouble at random places and I think I should just stay home.

Live on WHPK

Saturday night me, Lito and Lugo Rosado (awesome old school house dj) began the night at the Generator. Then we go to the much anticipated party at the Kinzie Suites, Dajae singing a live house set that blew everyone away. Everyone kept bugging me to have an afterhours but I said no. Then I had an accidental afterhours. Cheesecake Factory employees in the house…

Sunday night I pay a visit to Tony Washington’s show on WHPK (Univ. of Chicago). Him and Snooze do Sunday nights from 10pm-12am and it’s a good, quality House show. I spoke with Tony on air about the magazine and House music in Chicago. David Sabat was there wearing these super tight grey booty sweat pants and I am like “woah”. He specifically asked me not to write that in my blog so I did. Then afterwards these 2 young boys had the next show, which was a very scary form of metal that had my hair standing up in 666 patterns. I think their names were Metal Scott and Metal Tom and they made lots of little yips and yelps. They must be in a lot of emotional pain. I feel for them.
