[Dynagroove] Last night was HARD!

[~Sara]

A written account of the events of this morning:

Sara:  "Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo Cade, yo Cade.  Wake up man, wake up.  What's
wrong with you man?"
Cade:  "Yo, I had a mother fuckin' dream, man."
Sara:  "What the fuck was the dream about, G?"
Cade:  "I dreamed that I was -hard-."

Ok, none of that was atcually said but I'll use and chance I get to make
reference to a Black Sheep track.  ("Yo, who the fuck used my
toofbrush?!!")

It is good to be back in LA.  I have been on the east coast for the past 2
weeks in miserable weather under devastating circumstances.  So to be
welcomed back to Cade openign for DC was good times.  I personally didn't
notice the sound glitches and what have you.  It seems that every time
Cade opens at the Ivar there are equipment issues of sorts.  It happens to
the best, maybe they are just trying to keep Cade on his toes.  I think
the phrase "X-treme DJing!!"  was coined after a night at the Ivar, it is
almost like a Real World/Road Rules Gauntlet mission or like the physical
challenge on Double Dare, just minus the prime colored protective gear and
minus that bitch Veronica.  But I always enjoy myself at the Ivar.  I
don't enjoy the janky Non-Bombay gin and tonics for $8, especially when
the glasses are the size of bathroom Dixie cups.  But I like the straws
they use and they cut their limes to a size I find most enjoyable.  Ample
bathrooms, too.

Anyway.  Yea.  All things considered I enjoyed meself (I intentionally
spelled it mEself b/c after entering the witness protection program, I
have been forced to speak "Pirate").  Good to see poeple.

I've been listening to Ice Cube "Death Certificate" all morning,

Sara



This fool Cade had the nerve to say:
> Last night was hard!!!  No not the music.  Playing was very hard.  I
> arrived to my surprise there was noone playing.  I was told someone would
> be playing 9:00 to 10.  But no one was there DJing and a jungle CD was
> playing.  I started to set up but it was way too dark so it took me a good
> 10 minutes to track someone down to give me light.  Once I got the light I
> started to play.   At first all was good.  But within 20 minutes I started
> to notice one table was sounding like crap.  I switched needles as soon as
> I could and low and behold the table still sounded like crap.  The sound
> guy came around and we swapped out tables and then that issue was fixed.
> I started to bop a little and get into it.  Just as I started to relax the
> monitors went out.   When I first started DJing I was not aloud to play
> loud music because of my roomates would always bee sleeping.  I learned to
> mix in my earphones.   This old talent came in very helpfull as the sound
> crew scrambled around me trying to figure out what was wrong.  Finally
> they brought in an entirely new speaker and racked it up.   So I played
> some more traxx and then I hear this ugly horrid "Wrrrrp wrrrrp wrrrrp
> wrrrp" that was blaring out from one of the speakers.  It had blown.  It
> was on the left side of the dance floor so I figured I would just turn the
> balance to the right annd keep playing.  But the sound crew had set it up
> mono and when I cut right it just cut the sound on the floor entirely.
> *Shrug* and the show gioes on.
>
> I came ready to throw down.  I had been psyching myself up all week.   I
> really wanted to step up and jam some jams.  Make an impression.  Instead
> I felt like I was hanging by a wire.  I had fun and I made the best out of
> it.  My performance was sub par in my opinion.  I apologize to you people
> out there.  I really think I could have played better.  It was probably
> one of the "hardest" (Hence the subject line) sets I have ever played.
>
> On the opther had.  I am glad all this crap happened to me.  Because I
> would have hated to see DC go through what I did.  Looks like we ironed
> out a lot of the wrinkles.  DC rocked it.  Even though there was no bass I
> still think he played some amazing tracks and really showed us what that
> chicago sound is.  I love that sound I love those tracks and I love the
> energy these chicago DJs tend to bring.  I wouldd have liked a bit more
> sound in there with some bass.  But I am happy we actually got DC in LA!
>
> I would like to thank the promoters for giving me the chance to open up
> for one of the best.  I would also like to thank them for bringing out the
> best.  I understand there are technical difficulties and I made the best
> of it.  It was over all a good night.  I was just dissapointed I did not
> step up to the plate like I wanted to.   I hope to see the club bring DC
> out again, I would love to open for him, or heather, or diz, or any other
> chicago talent.  Those are my favorites!
>
> I leave for brazil tomorrow!!!!  Woo hoo
