Vintage Soul

a friend of a friend has been asking me to dj at his band's monthly residency for the past 6 months or so. nothing special, i just fill in between bands with some music. its a regular place for me show up and play what i want (no requests) and its usually fun, but lately, i've been a little over it. I think i can pinpoint a couple of reasons why;

  1. paying a cover is annoying and anyone i ask to come hang with me has to pay a cover ($10), so i feel guilty asking.
  2. no money for records - on a good night, i'll get a couple of drink tickets
  3. i only get to play 20-30 minute sets (actually, on second thought, this often works in favor with my musical ADD)
so why am i excited for the show coming up on friday?
  1. i have a bunch of new music to play
  2. its in my neighborhood
  3. its been a long time since the last one in nov.
  4. my boy ed from the make it funky nights is coming through to help out.
if anyone who reads this (that means you EG and thats a long trip for a show) wants to come, here's the flyer.
