NYC: The Hunt @ The Randolph (7.03.08)

Travelled up to NYC for the 4th of July weekend to party with old friends. DJ Pierre Paulin held us down with his party The Hunt in Manhattan. Lots of San Francisco homies rolled through, a regular reunion...

Spike Mendelsohn's Good Stuff Eatery (6.30.08)

Top Chef Chicago's Spike Mendelsohn has opened a new burger joint on Capital Hill in the district. It's called the Good Stuff Eatery. I had the pleasure of attending the press preview. The burgers were great, the family atmosphere was friendly, and the toasted marshmellow shakes were delicious.

Nouveau Riche @ 1223 (MCCXXIII) (6.28.08)

I have to say... though I love the Nouveau Riche parties, this was not their best. Given, the party never actually sucks, in this instance it was really the location... it was at 1223, which is apparently the epicenter of d-baggery for the metropolitan area. So, I suffered, and my pictures weren't even posted on BYT :( ... oh well.

Nouveau Riche, in order to excel, must retain its grimy edgy funky appeal I think. The second it goes DC downtown club, the second it goes fizz. That being said the only reason it was at 1223 in the first place was because Club Five stayed shut down longer than expected due to the stabbing incident a couple months ago... whoops.

Git the other BYT post hurrrr...

Ladytron, TV on the Radio & Thievery Corporation (ft. Seu Jorge) @ Post Merriweather (6.28.08)

Ok, so here’s the 15 minute review of an awesome concert that deserves a much more thorough and thoughtful review…

Ladytron came on at 7pm, and while the audience filtered into Merriweather, these guys were up on stage jammin it out to a rather meager crowd. I spoke with the curly haired Ladytron (pictured below) backstage and she told me that the show the night before at Sonar had been much better… go figure, I’m sure the crowd was rowdy. But either way, they played a hot set, and they’re certainly hot, sooooo…
