blast at boysroom last night!


so after a couple of weeks of promoting my fingers off and hoping that my new gig at the boysroom would become successful...especially after the let go from the 'other' place...finally a really busy night filled with boys boogeying, faggots prancing (and i use that word lovingly of course) and the bartender all smiles. the night looked promising because my friend bret was inviting a bunch of friends to celebrate his birthday...but then at a certain point i looked up and a whole slew of people started walking in and immediately went towards the back to join in the dance party. my friend kenny got onto the little stage across from the dj booth and did his trademark dancing while my sister mel (aka velocity dandridge) popped by and tore up the floor gyrating and doing runway for all to gawk at. also, the kiki twins consisting of ashlee and elle t showed up (nyc new celebrities so to speak www.myspace.com/thekikitwins) and that made me happy especially because they were riling up the crowd and approved of my sounds. also...i guess i was on a high last night because i got a phone call from housing works about a job i applied for. i worked for them almost ten years ago and would kill to get a chance to work for them again. there is a position for assistant manager in the chelsea location and the new brooklyn location and i just called and had a great talk with the regional manager resulting in an interview set up for friday evening! i am so excited.
also what i learned last night finally is that i can give in to the hip hop genre that everyone annoyingly requests (especially little young bastards or their underage fag hags) from time to time but splice into it my trademark electro and nasty beats. honestly i do like some hip hop or hip pop as it should be called but i hate it when all people want to hear is what they hear everywhere else and on the radio. djs used to be teachers or prophets but in the day and age of ipods and downloading...everyone wants to hear what they feel like hearing and don't care about all the work i or others like me put into discovering new shit and offering it to them. i know the dj usually has an ego and i'm no different but i'm getting paid to be a dj not a jukebox. last night i realized that i can lure people in with what they know and them slam them with something hot and fresh that they never heard before but keeps them up and moving. it took me how long to figure this out? hehehe
hopefully word gets out and next week will be busy as well..and i will actually have a really fun, successful and interesting tuesday night party going on...woo hoo
