Bats set listies 121811

I have no witty opening this time, unfortunately. Call it, the holidays, I guess.

But watching people dance and interacting with the audience (YOU GUYS!) always makes me happy. Thank you. I even got to bust out my favorite Amon Tobin song in the first set. Yay! <3

No Box for me this Sunday, unfortunately. Going to be overloading on food and tidings of comfort and joy with la familia, which should be interesting. Alas, it'll still be up and running, so if you're in town you should go and shake it with the best of 'em.

Take care guys. Happy holidays to you all, whichever one you choose (or refuse) to celebrate.

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! PUBLICATION!!!! (part deux)

The second part of my short story, Orphanage has been published!!! You get to see Mayra Milk's especially snarkier side.

Check it out in Underneath the Juniper Tree's Winter Issue!

Awesome artwork this time around is by the artist Luis Pinto. Again, VERY flattered to have such awesome art paired with my words.

Only one more part after this one, and I'm keeping you posted as soon as it comes out! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

DJ Stats gave me the sweetest compliment last night. She said if her roommate ever murdered me (which he most likely wouldn't, but, you know), she would murder him in retaliation.

D'aaaawwwww!

Make a girl feel special, why don't ya. :)

Seriously, though: thank you for the compliments, guys. It really does mean a lot to me, and makes me feel all spiffy. And thanks for braving the rainy and the coldy last night, everyone. Shaking and stomping is the surest way to warm both the body and soul, am I right? (I am.)

I was in the Black Room both times! The power of oontz compels me!

It was a bit of an off night, honestly, but I don't think anyone could complain. It was cold. There were finals. What can you do? C'est la vie. People were still out and about and having a good time, so that's all I'm caring about. Love.

Anyway, I like any old excuse to bust out Strongbad's techno song in a dance environment.

The system is down.

I must say, I was pretty surprised by the turnout last night.

Surprised, and incredibly flattered.

Thanks to everyone who showed up and shook asses! Thanks for having me, Club Apparition! It was a blast invading your delightful little club, and consuming a number of your Coronas. Let's do it again sometime. :)

First set spooky.

Second set stompy.
