Labor Day Weekend wrap-up

[ Note: As of 9/25/09 the Thursday nights at Fat Pete's are no longer happening ... It was fun while it lasted. lol. :-) ]

I am just NOW starting to feel "normal" from the weekend ... or as close to it as I get. lol. It was a busy weekend!

Thursday I started out not actually DJing, but hanging out at FAT PETE'S (6171 Torresdale Ave, Philadelphia). Mostly to check the place out since I will be starting to DJ there 2 Thursdays per month starting this week (9/10/09). NIKKI was behind the bar, and she has a way of keeping you at the bar for longer than you anticipated. lol. She's a cool person, and a very good bartender. Oh, and did I mention that she is gorgeous? A triple threat. lol.

Thursday Nights are "Freestyle Thursdays" at Fat Pete's. So, come out and hang in a laid back place and listen to some freestyle. Of course, I will also be mixing in other old school club stuff, and some newer stuff ... you know how I do it, I keep it fun. It will be a cool night. If you like freestyle, come out and I will play what you want to hear -- the club classics, the mixtape favorites, the underground stuff ... I have it all.

Plus, Nikki will be keeping the drinks coming ... $2 Miller Lite from 9p-11p and $2 mixed drinks from 9p-11p. The music starts @ 9pm and we go til 2am. No cover.

Friday night I was at Blue Martini (inside Bally's, Atlantic City). Average night, maybe a little slower than usual ... which was odd considering that it was Labor Day Weekend.

Saturday night I was at Fireside (Ambler, PA). Crazy night there. lol. Another fun one. Love that place. I was super amped up on Red Bull and a 5 hour Energy shot. Fun stuff.

Sunday was a lonnnnng day. I started @ Bikini Beach Bar, and it was overcast. The crowd was a little smaller than usual, and they took a while to warm-up ... but after 3:30 or so, the party got started and we had a good time there. I played until about 6:30 pm and then Fuzzy Bunny Slippers started playing.

After that, I packed up my gear and headed to Luna in Wildwood, NJ. It was my first time there, and the place is really nice. I played there until 3 am. Toward the end of the night, one of the security guys came up to me and said that it was the best Sunday that they had all summer. I've been wanting to work in Wildwood for awhile now, so who knows? Maybe I will get more work down there next summer. I'm also working on lining some stuff up for Sea Isle next summer.

Needless to say, Monday was a total recovery day for me. I got home at 6am, and stayed in bed til about 3 in the afternoon! At about 8pm I started to feel OK again.

This week is another busy one. I have to finish up a project for another dance artist, work on Jonelle's show tape for the upcoming Tazmania CD release party (at Adelphia, Deptford NJ) coming in October, and then do some remixes of music to play this weekend at the spots that I am working.

It's the last week for Bikini Beach Bar's season, so I will be trying to take as many pics as I can. I hope that the weather is good. lol.

THURSDAY: Fat Pete's (Philadelphia), 9p-2a
FRIDAY: Bikini Beach (Atlantic City), 11p-2a
