When I was 12 years old, all I really wanted out of life was to be Joey Ramone. He had all of the coolest friends, knew about politics and world...stuff... and he wore kick-ass faded jeans with big holes in the knee and cool red glasses. I was a tall lanky kid so I thought I pulled it off really well (with the exception I was a white girl who lived in a country club in suburbia.) Regardless, I would lock myself in my room, and blast the Ramones Road To Ruin on my "boom box" - the kind with two tape players so you could record "on the fly" (yeah, I was all technical back then,) and I'd stand in the middle of my room, pretending I was on stage, and I'd nod to my imaginary Markie Ramone, and have a little concert for my stuffed animals and my french poodle, Pepe.It's true.
So, in light of my former dreams of becoming a rockstar (-and ending up a DJ instead- DAMMIT!) I wanted to shout out another reminder to the little rockstar in all of us and remind you that it's OUR little rockstar's birthday on Saturday night, (our little rockstar being Matty the Mutaytor) I'll probably be throwing down some Ramones, or at least a cheesy dance remix of Bon Jovi or Guns N Roses on Saturday night at Paynie's Red Loft downtown just to mix things up and see if I can actually get that big-ass white boy to dance a little bit.

Isn't it funny how post-election trauma effects different people? Some of us didn't go to work on that Wednesday after the election. Others of us spent the day in the office forwarding emails around cyberspace about Bush's great regime or how Kerry was the real winner. I ignored most of those. But I did recently get one email from a friend going off about how upset she was. She literally fell off the face of the planet for a few days over what she referred to as "the dumbing of America." When she surfaced, she had shaved her head. I love it. This is a University of San Diego professor of literature (or something having to do with words or English or whatever) and she shaved her head. As she put it, "Well, I can't get what's in my head out, and I can't control what's put into my head, and when express what's IN my head it doesn't have any effect because middle america is so dumb, so the only thing left is to control what's literally ON my head." And so she shaved it. I know it's like December and I should be going on and on about Xmas and what a commie-hallmark plot THAT whole shindig is but I thought that the head-shaving was worth mentioning.Also, delayed thanks and big lovies to everyone that came out to the 1351 Lounge Thanksgiving weekend. Holy crap was that fun or what? We had so much fun that the water pipes burst and we had to close a half hour early. All I can say about my friends in Napa and the ones that drove up from L.A. is that nobody rocks that place like Sammybliss - how awesome was he???? Loved it. I had "Groove is in the Heart" stuck in my head the rest of the holiday weekend.
And I had a great time at Apocalypse on Saturday night - big thanks to my supporters in Jersey who I met on the shuttle over to the party: Richie you rock! hurry up and get to LA! Wolfie and Patricio laid down some killer beats, and I had a blast seeing everyone! I also have to win some sort of award for having the most clothes on that night. Totally fun time.
Anyway, this week sees some killer parties coming up. I'm unfortunately off doing private Xmas shindigs until Anon Salon, so I won't be out and about AT ALL, but you should check out the parties listed below, and included is the Anon Salon details - GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY. Early as in NOW. This event will be the best L.A. has seen in years, and I'm excited to be a part of it. Big thanks to Wolfie for helping to plan and organize, and huge thanks to The Do Lab in advance for doing up the main room to make us look good - you know how they do it. Details for Anon Salon below the Heavy Rotation under Events.
