White Party and the UK Invades Chicago

No Comments

I can now breathe because the 5 million parties I was involved in for the past 3 weeks have finally ended. I still have more to come, but at least the pace has normalized to a doable level.

MONDAY NIGHT

DJ Sneak with his brother Juano @ Boom Boom Room

WEDNESDAY NIGHT Wednesday night was The White Party myself, Lugo Rosado & Phatman threw to get Lugo’s Wednesday nights at Tumbao jumping. You guys have got to check this spot out… it’s gorgeous! The owner Louis is the nicest guy ever, and early Wednesday morning he went shopping and decorating with us so we could turn his Puerto Rican restaurant/club into a white haven. The DJs that night were Jesse Portillo, Eddie A, Phatman, Rees Urban and of course resident Lugo Rosado.

I was so excited because as a host, everyone knows how I love to get on that mic DRUNK. Well Lugo gave me my own CORDLESS MIC, so I felt like a 50-year-old nun given her first vibrator…exciting!!!

Thank you to photographer Steve Starr for letting me act like a slutty teenager!

After Tumbao we head to Ohm to check out LA’s awesome Scott K and his girl DJ Kerry.

SATURDAY
For those of you who haven’t yet, go to SSRadioUK.com, a 24-hour 4-channel dance music site with some amazing talent. The guys who run it (Phil the Deep House Cat who lives here), Matt, Dave and Nick (who flew here from the UK) collaborated with 5 Magazine to throw a weekend’s worth of post-Lollapalooza events. Thursday and Sunday the SSRadio boys got down at Betty’s, and on Saturday was the big event at Griffin Lounge with Jon Cutler (NY) and John ‘Julius’ Knight (Miami). The new club was very high-class and bougie, so it was an interesting collaboration of ‘that’ crowd and the strict Househeads. Jon and John got down, and we all had a vodka-infused blast!

After that party we close out the night at Martini Ranch next door, and by then everyone is quite incoherent. While everyone crashes out John ‘Julius’ Knight and I decide to hang out. I cook him a bacon cheeseburger (Luigi my dog ate most of it), and we proceed to gossip and drink until probably 11am. This is probably why I don’t have any brain cells left, and I’m quite amazed at my ability to spell.

Thank you to the SSRadio crew for an awesome weekend, you guys totally rock!

Finally Over!

No Comments

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.

Live on WHPK

No Comments

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.
