oooo it's been a while!!

wow....i was doing so good posting as often as i could but my life has taken a wonderful, wonderful turn for the extremely busy side! i'm in full swing working as the new assistant manager at housingworks thrift shop on 17th street between 6th and 7th (come visit me!). i'm doing quite well...the store manager keeps giving me praises and notices how much i am into my job and how interested i am in learning the tricks and treats of the trade. i can't believe how much happier i am in my life...i knew it would happen but i have such a renewed sense of purpose. housingworks is an organization that houses homeless people with aids in nyc indiscriminant of whether they are male, female, gay, straight, drug addicts...there is only two criteria for being a client....hiv positive and homeless. i worked for the store on the upper east side back in 97 through 99 and coming full circle is such a brilliant ride.

last night at boysroom for the second time...alan cumming showed up!!! i adore him...as an actor and as a gay rights hero. two weeks ago he came in and just sat in the back but last night he sat right at the bar and eventually came into the dj booth and chatted with me....he requested bjork (which thank god i had readily available) and when i started playing it...he gave me a kiss on the cheek and hopped away like the little elf that he is...i must say i was a little star struck! aside from my weekly stint at boysroom in the east village...which hopefully will pick up once the weather warms up and people are more aware that i am djing there...i djed on friday the 16th at my dear friend erin's 'endless summer' party at opus 22. i opened the night from 10pm to 12am and once i swallowed a shot of jack daniels..hehe...i fell into a really sexy and funky groove, smacking the unexpected crowd with a set of fresh and dirty tracks that garnered praise from many. this friday i will be djing at my other dear friend max's 'g.r.u.f.f.' party at the eagle. i spun at the debut last month and am sharing the bill with dj chris padilla....once again opening the night. i actually really don't mind the idea of spinning a shorter set...you can pop in all the killer tracks in a shorter period of time. djing for a 6 hour set can be a little testing on your creativity. also....like the endless summer party i will be able to socialize after my turn at the tables and do some self promo and seduction! ehhe

me and friends are also trying our hand at a different kind of event production with 'move the world' a benefit for axis danz...a dance troupe that specializes in flag dancing...attempting to bring it out from the underground world of dance clubs and into the mainstream. because it's not a charity dealing with children or people with hiv and aids we are facing many personal obstacles...moral deficiency and community participation...but ...the show must go on! go to www.axisdanz.com for more info

also...march 4th marks my outer borough debut at capone's bar in williamsburg, brooklyn! it's hard enough to get people to come to my events in manhattan...it's going to be quite a challenge getting people to take the mysterious L train to visit me....it's an 80's theme night called 'joystick sundays' (witty aren't i? eheh) and the space is huge so a crowd is very very necessary to make it a success...wish me luck!!
