Happy New Year!

Friday night (December 31)

With Dubtribe Sound System playing live at midnight and a stellar lineup, including Jenö, M3, Charlotte the Baroness, Garth, Markie, and others, this is my New Year’s Eve party. It’s $25 at the door and located at Blue Cube on Mason, just up from 5th & Market.

Saturday night (January 1)

Stompy is having a shindig at Cafe Cocomo, featuring Lance Desardi, JT Donaldson, Jonéné, Tasho, Sweet P, and others. That one’s $10 at the door and goes until 2am.

Sunday (January 2)

Since I don’t have to work Monday, I’ll be checking out Sunday T-Dance and maybe even Devotion at The End Up. The line-up is always wonderful and the crowd very very cool.

So, where are you gonna be?

December 10 - 11, 2004

Friday night (December 10)
Julius Papp, Patrick Wilson, and Trevor Mijares hold down the fort at Remedy tonight. There’s a free quest list over on their web site. Looks like a good bet.

Saturday night (December 11)
The same people who throw Remedy are introducing the grand opening of a monthly party for Om Records at DNA Lounge. This party features the West Coast’s two best-known house DJs — Mark Farina and Doc Martin, along with DJ Fluid. It’s $20 to get in, unless you buy your tickets on-line in advance.

December 3 - 4, 2004

Friday night (December 3)
Tonight’s Remedy at DNA Lounge looks promising. Craig C, formerly of Pound Boys, Ruben Mancias, and Paolo Dava are spinning. Go to the web site and toss your name up on the guest list. You can get in free.

Saturday night (December 4)
The first Saturday toss-up I’ve seen in quite a while. A member of one of the message boards I frequent posted information about a reunion party for a crew that predates Wicked by a number of years, back when Jenö and his boys were still in London. Their crew was called Whoosh and they threw a party in the late 80s and early 90s in a bookstore in London. They’re all together again for an event in San Francisco at 31 Mason Street @ Turk. It’s $5 before 11, goes until 5, and features Jenö, Markie, Bones, and local Paul Leath.

The other Saturday party I’m looking at is an absolutely mind-bashing lineup at Foundation at The End Up. Tonight’s Foundation features Julius Papp, Mauricio Aviles, Franky Boissy, and Chris Lum. This great party will only set you back $10, if you get there before 11:30, and will go until at least 4am.
