I had a blast at the show last evening! this time there was a $5 charge (all of it donated to the cause of AIDS in Africa)–i don’t think there was one last time, so maybe that’s why there wasn’t as big a turnout (which would be perplexing, really, given the cost & the cause), although there were quite a bit of people there last night. i was blessed by a coworker coming to check it out. that helped make my evening. fun! unfortunately she had *just* miss the drummers that were doing their thing–they were ridiculous just like last time, and amazing to hear these 5 guys sound so thick.
She did get to check some of the action from the BYC and Fraggle Rock crews break dancing. I have not had this much fun djing a set in a while–actually probably since the last show i did at this venue! I’d spent quite a bit of time gathering tracks for this one however, so the soul was flowing…my favorite part had to be the blend of Fila Brazilias “Feathery Legs” with The Clash’s “Radio Clash”…if i was a break dancer, throw in Apache, and i’d be in heaven :) Chris did his thing as well, and admittedly, it would have been cool if the both of us would have worked together beforehand on a routine–i kept “taking over” — but hea was gracious enough to deal with me ;)
speaking of Apache–Iguales did a rendition of Apache, and it was pandemonium! during the break part of apache (you know what part i’m talking about if you know the song…not the beat break but the “verse” portion) — i was so busy loading my camera that i didn’t notice until a little later and looked up, and there were about 8 or 10 of the crew that did this ill synchronized joint during that part–ah you just had to be there…*somebody* got it on tape.
at any rate–i hope that another one of these takes place soon, as i’m ready for the next one! thanks for having me out!
