May 3-5-07 - Music To Die For, On the Dancefloor

Friday Night. The Jimmy came over and played backgammon with Russ while I went next door to help neighbor with her computer. I at least got it out of the box so I could return the next day to connect all of the wires.

We headed out of the house at 11:10 to get to Splash, where they were hosting the Arctic Babylon tour. The place was bright and the music was good. DJ Manny Lehman was laying down the party moving beats. I hung out with Rob and Tres, Sean and Rick as we watched the show and danced to the beats of "Makes me Hot" and "Party People". Russ and I left just before 3:45 and headed back to BK.

Late Night Drama me losing my keys in the Jimmy's car (did not know location of keys yet though) which sets up a return trip to Splash to check with mgmt who did not have my keys and a late night 411 call to locksmith to get us into the house. Then a trip next morning to the locksmith to get copies of all of house keys before a return call from the Jimmy that our keys were found.

A dark beginning to the day but then it was time to go shopping and pick up some soda and dinner foods before returning home and finding out I have destroyed my old laptop (poor 12 in Mac) and then going next door to Neighbor and unboxing neighbor PC and connecting the Tornado via USB so she can transfer files from old to new. After that I went back and rested a bit before having dinner and watched "Layer Cake" (great movie). After movie was over I cleaned up got dressed and made ready to head out. Got into the city by midnight, visited the ATM (1st one in Duane Reade had no cash) on 8th and then made my way over to Club Stereo to see what kind of good night I was going to have.

DJ Paulo brought it. Started nice with "Let the Music Use You Up vs. 8 Letters" . Then let us have it with rerubs of Funky Green Dogs "Body" and Charlotte "Skin", as well as "This is Why You're Here" and totally had us jumping for Offer Nissim and "Be My Boyfriend" (with some extra beats thrown in). Danced with Rob and Tres and Joey and a whole crew of people grooving to the beats that just kept getting better and better. Also spoke to DJ James Anderson and saw DJ Hector Fonseca and DJ Chad Jack all looking over the floor and the crowd feeling it. And it was still pumping after 4:30am for the Rauhofer mix of Offer's "For Your Love". I finally graced a dance floor box at Stereo and danced over the crowd and then returned to the box with both hands lit before finally stepping down before I totally used my legs up. I stayed until 5am and said goodnight to Rob before heading out to get my taxi on 9th ave.
