August 20 - 21, 2004

It’s been a long time since I’ve gone out at all, due to a bicycle crash in late July which left me warming the bench for the last few weeks. I can’t wait to hear house music on a big system again.

Friday night (August 20):
A friend of mine called me up the other day and asked me what I was planning on doing. I noted that I probably wasn’t doing anything, because of my inability to get places lately and the total absence of any of my friends from the scene. But, friends of mine who can pick me up and for whom I can provide my critically-acclaimed designated driving services want to go out. Tonight, there are a couple of possibilities.

My friend, Sunshine Jones of Dubtribe Sound System, is spinning at a party at Soluna called The Mixing House. Sunshine spins with Galen and another DJ. Looks like a good lineup.

But, the party I’m most looking forward to on Friday night is Remedy at DNA Lounge, featuring Kaskade, David Harness, and Trevor Mijares. It goes until 5am and costs $15 at the door, unless you have a pass, an e-mail, or get on the list by 4. Then, this special event is reduced to a $5 cover.

Saturday night (August 21):
No big events ever happen on Saturday night, but there are some solid weeklies in San Francisco. In particular, I’ll probably be inclined toward the always-fun Better Days party at Pink, a fairly inexpensive party on the Mission. This weekend, it’s $10 and goes until 3 or 4. Franky Boissy and Ruben Mancias stomp on it with big, juicy, deep house beats.

So, where are you gonna be?
