Normally I Hate Running but...

THIS looks amazing! So if you live in any of these places, I'm incredibly jealous and Electric Run organizers...let's make New Orleans happen? If there are house remixes of brass bands the city would flock in droves.

Yearbook Party

Nope, these aren't photos from an actual yearbook. This was the amazing work of Shark Pig. They threw a Yearbook Party for all of their friends and dressed up in 50's garb to produce this beauty. Um. BRILLIANT idea! After I saw this, I immediately messaged my friend about it. She responded:

"I absolutely love this idea...I never knew how much I needed a mock yearbook spread of all our friends until now."

She's planning on buying a house and she said that this would be the perfect theme for a housewarming party. YES. I cannot wait. I'm making sure that we will follow through with this plan. THIS WILL HAPPEN.

Too Long/Crescendolls/High Life

In honor of Daft Punk's upcoming album I present Too Long/Crescendolls/High Life.

Listen to it with headphones on. It sounds like music is coming from everywhere. 

(I'm a little loopy on coffee, but I'm pretty sure the track just has masterful mixing/equalizer-ing...)

Amaze.

For the BROKE DJ

I introduce....the best. Website. Ever.

If the sparkling dazzle effect doesn't sell you then.......you have no soul.

Seriously, no exaggeration. If I ever have to DEEJ a party I'm using this. You just search for the two songs you want to Mix then there's a LEGIT CROSSFADE button between them for convenient song switching. DONE AND DONE.

The Chemicals Between Them?

How are:

Amanda Lepore (Best DSLs I've ever seen), Dr. Cuddy from House MD (aka Lisa Edelstein), Voldermort James St. James, Richie Rich (one of the founders of the Heatherette clothing line), Ru Paul, and Larry Tee (DJ extraordinaire) connected?

They all were members of the Club Kids in the New York underground scene during the 80s. What does this entail? Some excerpts from Wiki Lala Land:

The Club Kids were a group of young clubheads led by Michael Alig and James St. James in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This group was famous for their outrageous costumes and extensive drug use -- in particular, ecstasy, ketamine, and heroin, although preferences ranged.

Michael Alig's fame and influence quickly grew. At one point, he was on the payroll of several clubs owned by Peter Gatien for doing nothing but showing up with his entourage of Club Kids in order to draw more customers to the clubs. When they wanted to add a little variety to their night-life, Michael and the club kids began holding illegal parties in various public places including a donut shop and the New York subway.

Party at a NYC subway donut shop? DONE AND DONE. Just so you know Michael Alig (the founder of the original Club Kids) was later convicted of murder over drugs. These kids went HARD. And it just blows my mind to think Lisa Edelstein was a part of this.

DR. CUDDY, Y SO PARTY ANIMAL?

Party On Party Cat

I don't like cats but the recent Keyboard Cat and pre-recent Spaghetti Cat just make me want to die. I LOVE THEM. And now I've discovered Party Cat which I LOVE AS WELL.

It's a little short story comic about a cat. That likes to party. And his "owner" that also likes to party. Really cute.

READ IT. LOVE IT.

HEAR HEAR: Fresh BUL!M!ATRON!

BUL!M!ATRON!

Probably one of my favorite names for a musician. It had to be colorful and blinking. It's so clever, YOU KNOW IT. Anywho, fresh release from BUL!M!ATRON! It's called "The Things That Go Bump In The Night"...like demons in the embalming room in your basement (YEAH, I saw A Haunting in Connecticut and it scared the SH!T out of me). The track is pretty dope...there's lots of bass which is ALWAYS a good thing.

BUL!M!ATRON! - The Things That Go Bump in the Night by BULIMIATRON

I'm rocking it at full volume and having a rave in my bed right now. RAVE ON.

And because he's awesome and LOVES his fans you can get a free download at mediafire with his permission. My kind of DEEJ.

The ending of this song is WERKING IT.

Signing out, GHP.

Let's throw dance party in one of these

Miami Goes to New Orleans

AHHH! My two cities are joining together....

This past weekend was the WMC, or Winter Music Conference for those who don't know. Basically it's like the trade show for DJs and it is AMAZING (if you're 21 and have lots of spare cash). Literally, EVERY DJ in the world is in Miami for the WMC weekend and there are events left and right and it's crazy. So much going on that you might actually have to make a sacrifice to see someone. (Eg. Do I see Bob Sinclar or David Guetta because they're both playing on the same night). It's amazing.

I can't personally report on the deets because:
a) The DJs are MAJOR acts so a ticket to one of their club shows is about $300 or
b) Getting into the clubs is HARD because EVERYONE wants to get in. Unless you're buying a VIP table and lots of $100 bottles....I'm going to say getting VIP will set you back ATLEAST $400 dollars....chances of getting in are slim.
c) The events are 21+ and on South Beach. And even with an "ID" it's HARD to get into South Beach clubs because they are STRICT.

And outside of the events there is Ultra Music Festival which is for any and everyone. It is probably one of the greatest music festivals on this planet (provided you like nightclubs). For a mere $200 you can enjoy 2 days of DJs, crowds, and overpriced water. And the crowd isn't a normal crowd....I'd say 95% of the people are on some kind of psychadelic/hardcore drug. (Ultra fest aka Ultra ECSTACY Fest). But really it's great. Next time I have $200 lying around in March I'm going for sure.

WMC ASIDE, Club Amperstand is having a "WMC in New Orleans" event. It's destined to be sick because the WMC in essence is GREAT. Attend it!!! Thankfully people in New Orleans have a heart and probably won't charge you $300 to get in.

I don't know who Trent Cantrelle is...but whatever. Live shows are the best kind.

Snuggie revolution

The first ever Snuggie pub crawl! Who knew that the Snuggie would get so popular?

GET IT GIRL!

Ru Paul's singing career FTW.

Won't You Back That Azz Up

Oh Hell Naw! They done let this man out of prison so he can go beat up more women and perform a few concerts. Jk jk.

But seriously Juve will be performing at REPUBLIC NEW ORLEANS on MONDAY FEBRUARY 23 at 9:30 PM. It starts RIGHT AFTER ORPHEUS so you can walk right over after you get your bead on. And back that ass up to some JUVE BBY.

Regular Tickets: $20 at the door $15 advance
VIP: $40 at the door $30 advance and you get a meet and greet with JUVE BBY and access to the sweet lounge areas upstairs.

It's 18+ to party hardy. SO GO SEE JUVENILE and some other musicians.

Official Website

I would also like to take this time to point out some other upcoming events at Republic New Orleans:

Hell, I'd bed him.

On March 27 there's a guy named G-Eazy performing. He looks like he'll put on a really fun show...I'm intrigued. 18+, $5

"G-Eazy is a rapper, producer, performer, graphic designer and video editor. He was raised in Oakland, CA, but is currently based out of New Orleans, LA."

Love that funk.

On May1 we have George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic (with hits such as Atomic Dog "Bow wow wow yippe yo yippe yay"). Sure to be an acid trip. 18+, $35

LA Banana Split

If you're in/around Los Angeles today (Feb 1st) and you're "21" I'd HIGHLY suggest going to Banana Split Sundae!
Get photographed by the Cobrasnake.
Go put some moves on Steve Aoki or DJ AM.
Go hang out with the other celebs who will probably be there and enjoy life.
I wish I could go. =(

Texting yourself to trouble

Texting boys/girls leads you into traps. Giving dudes/homegirls at bars your number never is any good. Texting relations is dumb. Let's travel back to a time where people actually physically interracted with each other, because there are too many boys labeled "don't pick up" and "don't txt me" in my phone.

New Years Events..."AROUND THE WORLD"

So here are some events I've been hearing about for the upcoming holiday weekend.

Event 1: Sexy Ass Mofo's playing in DENVER
When: Tonight. DECEMBER 27.
Where: Club Vinyl

This event is sure to be amazing because the guy on the left (Daniel) is SEXY. And when he's DJ'ing he gets even SEXIER, if that's even possible. Basically his sex appeal is offensive and to not be in the same room with him if he's within a 25 mile radius of you is a crime punishable by death.

All sexiness aside, the LA Riots are actually amazing at DJing too. Really fun club music. With eye candy. A win win situation?

Event 2: Amperstand tries to be like David Guetta and FAILS
When: ALSO TONIGHT. December 27.
Where: Club Amperstand - New Orleans


The flyers are pretty nice. However for such a suggestive theme night, I'd expect some hardcore lineup and not people that...always play here...DISAPPOINTING. I'll stick to the real F**K ME I'M FAMOUS...if I ever go to France.

Event 3: GOLDEN HOT PANTS WANTS TO DIE BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT LIVE IN CHICAGO.
Where: CHICAGO, APPARENTLY THE COOLEST CITY EVER.
When Pt. 2: Congress
When: New Year's Eve (12-31-08)


Fuck my life. Seriously. FUCK MY LIFE.

Event 4: Some Shit in Rome.
I'm honestly just showing this one because the flyer is amazing.


Yes. It's so cool, you know it.

And that's all for now.

Events in New Orleans

Samantha Ronson of LiLo fame makes her way to the Big Easy. If I was in New Orleans, I'd def go. Haven't heard her sets before, but I'm curious as hell.

Click the flyer for tickets ($15).

Events in Miami

COMING UP IN MIAMI:

This awesome party with swag bags this Saturday. Looks like a lot of fun.

And for the "Fuck the Drinking Age" crowd:

MSTRKRFT. Who I saw in New Orleans last month and they were amazing. Sadly, 21+.

And also, David Guetta is playing at the Fountainebleau sometime in the beginning of December. However, ALSO 21+. Fuck the drinking age.

Football season is ending, let's get ready for next year!

I'm a type of gal who won't enter the football stadium until the few last minutes right before the game starts. I don't care if I sit all the way at the top bleachers, as long as I get to get the most out of my tailgatin. But I'm really thinking about investing in one of these babies:

It's a sports bra that you can hide your booze in. I mean, are they really gonna pat down my boobs when I walk in the game now? Dont worry homeboys, they got you covered, too. If you don't mind a little pooch. Get ready for gameday 2009!

ICWUDT

This was almost epic until I saw the gallons of apple juice on the floor. FAIL.
