  >Hey all,
  >
  >Since I saw almost no one from this list at The Good Life last
  Thursday, I
  >figured I could give a little review, even if it is for my own club.
  To meet
  >the newly created "Rah-Rah" standard for reviews, i've made sure to
  add as
  >many personal anectodes as I could:
  >
  >The day of the party started with a lot of uncertainty. Having
  booked
  >tech-house djs James Kay and Rebecca Sin, i assumed a lot of
  dyna-peeps, deep and
  >funky house fans would pass on the good life this week for the oh so
  many
  >other good Thursday possibilities. I then got word from Hoang Luu
  (The Blend)
  >that he was stuck in Kansas on biz and could not make it back for
  the gig.
  >Almost instantly after I got word from Luu, I heard from the owner
  of the
  >Bungalow. She cancelled the dj set up downstairs for the downtempo
  part of our
  >night (she felt it was a "distraction"...huh?). Gotta do what the
  owner wants,
  >y'all know that...Had to call Drew Sullivan and give him the bad
  news. Drew
  >is so cool though, he showed up anyways and he and I had a great
  >conversation as usual about music and of course porn...hahaha.
  >
  >Thankfully, I knew it was Mr. Buddah's B-day and I asked if he would
  be
  >interested in closing out the night. Like a champ, he acquiesced.
  After
  >setting up, at 9:30 PM, we still did not have a bartender
  upstairs...owner had
  >screwed up again. they were bringing a substitute bartender but
  won't open until
  >10:00. Good Life peeps that were there already resorted to buying
  drinks
  >downstairs, which meant I get no credit for it....so be it, i said,
  let's just
  >see if anyone even shows...In addition, the venue turned on the AC
  oh a tad
  >late, so it wasn't all that cool @ the beginning.
  >
  >You would think these were all omens for a bad party...Well, i don't
  know
  >what happened, but the party was Ssssslammmin!!!! People began to
  arrive quite
  >early. they got a dose of Howe Lin playing some really funky slow
  BPM
  >minimal tech, something he wanted me to hear as a possible sound we
  can experiment
  >with at GL sometime in the future...i really liked it. In doing so
  though,
  >It got somewhat bangy a bit too early, but Mike Magana came on and
  smoothed
  >it out. By 11:00 the place was already quite busy. To my great
  delight, I
  >saw many new faces I hadn't seen before. Then, a big group of
  Brazilians
  >from myspace showed up to celebrate a B-day. Like Cade said before,
  there is
  >nothing like the festive vibe that Brazilians bring to a party. They
  dress and
  >look nice, but they party widly and they dance! from there on the
  party
  >played itself out nicely, as everyone was smiling, dancing and
  seemingly
  >enjoying themselves thoroughly. James and Rebecca switched off back
  and forth and
  >were playing some extremely danceable Tech-house music...I overheard
  a number
  >of "i love her!!" shouted about during Rebecca's portions, but it
  was James
  >who impressed me the most. People should really give this type of
  music more
  >play...
  >
  >For most of the night, the balcony was packed with people, smoking,
  drinking
  >and talking. Sometimes I wish it wasn't there (i always prefer
  seeing
  >people on the dance floor) but I have to admit that I even went out
  there for a 15
  >minute pause and chat. It's a very agreeable space...Heard a bunch
  of not
  >so successful pick up lines by some of my friends (who chose to hit
  on the one
  >Brazilian girl that was married...hahaha) lines like: "Hey, i know
  >Imad...does that make me cool enough to talk to you?" hahahaha....No
  worries, i
  >saved her from their clumsy buffooneries...
  >
  >I came back in to see that Rudy C (For Those Who Know) and a couple
  of
  >friends were there hangin'. Rudy and I shared a drink and some good
  convo. I was
  >impressed that these guys were of such an open mind as far as the
  music was
  >concerned. You could see they were listening attentively and even
  >appreciatively even though it was not their cup of tea. Tolerance is
  at the root of
  >our scene, right? We will soon see a little "knowledge" thrown down
  at GL.
  >
  >As is now tradition, a bunch of Patron shots were consumed (where
  have you
  >gone, PPG and CBC?). The crowd did start to dissipate slowly around
  1:00PM
  >(there is work the next day after all) By then, Buddah had taken
  reign of the
  >booth, jazzing and funkying the music up to the great delight of the
  >remaining dancers. Buddah is a cool ass entertainer behind the
  decks. he gets INTO
  >it, you know? At 1:45, last call, I was to mix in the last record of
  the
  >night (Mike says it's our version of Russell Simmons' coming out on
  Def Poetry
  >and saying "thank you, good night and god bless". haha) Mind you I
  had 4
  >Patron shots and a few beers, I was given a track that I had never
  heard
  >before, and most important of all, Buddah leaves me this incredibly
  difficult James
  >Brown remix track to mix out of. Needless to say, I could barely
  hear what
  > I was doing....so I slammed the bass of the incoming track almost
  as soon
  >as I opened up the channel and took out James Brown like an
  assassin. We had
  >a good laugh about it...and the night came to a happy end...
  >
  >It was fun times...Missed some of you partiers that are dear to me
  (you know
  >who you are, you Patron guzzling freaks!!) but I will see you all
  soon at
  >the going away party for someone special who is leaving us...
  >
