The Walker Evans Effect

I’m going to be DJing at Bristol in two weeks. Will be my first “real” time DJing there since the last time was last minute and I didn’t have much time to invite anyone out for it. Hopefully this month will be a little better. We shall see. You can click on the little flyer picture to the right for details. An ad for it will be running in the Columbus Alive next week, so I’ll have to pick up a copy of that.

Good stuff.

I wanted to post up an image of this flyer I made for a DJ event earlier this year. It was a pretty good time and a decent turnout. Sadly, the club has closed since then because like most clubs… the management didn’t know what they were doing. Oh well…

So yeah, Dave & I DJ’ed at Kooma a few weeks ago (the picture above is of Dave), and I have to say it went MUCH better than the last outing. Probably because I was playing music I’ve always felt more comfortable mixing… deep minimal techy funk house… not too loud… not too “IN YOUR FACE”… just nice music to chill and nod your head to. Anyway, we tagged back and forth for nearly four hours until the place closed down and then Dave & Betsy headed home while Anne & I zoomed over to the Char Bar for a Long Island with Bob & Ann. They were doing a SPD “pub” crawl but we didn’t really have the energy to join them for more than one drink.

The next day we laid around the house… watched the movie Gandhi… I tried my hand at some homemade pizzas (topped with diced tomatoes, roasted red peppers, sauteed garlic & onions, and mozzarella) which turned out pretty good. Anne’s made them a few times, and she’s an überpro already at making pies, but I’m pretty much an amateur at making dough. It was a bit sticky and my pies were thicker than I wanted them to be, but oh well. Chalk it up to experience I guess.
