Bats set listies 112711

I was feeling a bit under the weather (and still am, slightly); hence, this is a brief and not-quite-as-jaunty entry. Don't worry, I won't breathe on you.

However, things went swimmingly otherwise. Only one set in the Black Room this time around, but it's all good. Y'all seemed to dig it, so that's what I'm aiming for. Thanks for being there, guys. :)

YES! And I WILL be spinning at Club Apparition this Thursday, December 1st, in San Jose. So come shimmy on the bowling alley-esque dance floor. Do the Breakfast Club dance, or something. You know which I'm talking about (not The Ringwald, but no objections if you do!)

Bats set listies: BOX's 12 Year Anniversary

Congratulations THE BOX!!! 12 years and still goin'! The Box wouldn't be able to happen without its lovely attendees, so for that we thank you for giving us such amazing support and love.

It was a good night. A damn good night. Lots of merriment. And CUPCAKES!!!!!

We brought the fucking chain link fence out in the Black Room and DJ Shadow Angel may have given me one of my favorite compliments ever, saying that I looked like I could be part of The Walking Dead with my thrashing about and pantomiming against it during my set. What can I say, I like to perform.

I may have enlisted myself as DJ Stats' personal go-go dancer, at the end of the night.

She may have approved. (She did.)

So thank you again, everyone. Our humble little club would be nothing without you. *Lovesnuggles*

It was another sleepy night for me. I guess I'm finally getting fucking old. Blame a horrible wake up from the morning. Picture it: Three Doors Down being blared in my oldest brothers' kitchen, about four or five yipping chihuahuas, and a couple adolescent nieces screaming for said brothers' attention. Add it on top of a 5.5 hour trek back to the Cruz (and a brief wine break in between [thanks Julia!]) and you'll get the gist of things.

Irish coffee helped, but then my mind got a little wobbly after a stiff Crown & Sprite® or two, so I guess that explains how the sets came to be..? They weren't bad, I'd think.

Either way, not too shabby a night, in my humble opinion.

I was in the Black Room the both times. OONTZ, OONTZ, OONTZ, OONTZ.

I was a bit low energy at the beginning of the night (blame the weather, I guess), so the first set was a bit of a mellow tempo, but it seems everyone else was feeling the same. So...that's good!

Either way, thanks again everyone. You guys shoot me full of energy and adrenaline and excitement--something that was very needed last night. We're also working on getting me to spin at Club Apparition sometime this month, so I'll keep you posted on that.

Thanks so much, Underneath the Juniper Tree for taking this story in and breathing some extra life into it. And thanks to Jason Smith for providing such beautiful artwork.

There will be two more after this one, so it looks like I need to get to work! OOWWW!!!

And read the other stories in there, too! They're awesome, and not just hokey kids' stuff. Great stuff if you're into Gaiman, namely.

:)

Photographic evidence

As promised, actual pictures of both me, and my Kato costume:


edit: okay, maybe it's just because my computer's tiny, but it doesn't want to load the whole image when I view it through the journal, and cuts it in half as though it's too large to handle (that's what she said [snort]), so I'm just going to provide links.
