New Year's Eve 2010

Still in Taiwan -- about 1 week left and then back to America, back to DFW, back to Austin and back to work. So, I hope you guys have been having fun in Texas. I obviously have not been keeping up with what has been going on overseas. Here, it is just a lot of family, a lot of food, great shopping and incredibly fair weather.

For New Years, I am sure a lot is going on in Austin. I am going to be celebrating the new year in Taipei, at Taipei 101 to be specific. It is supposed to be a huge thing, like the ball dropping in Madison Square Garden, but Taiwan style with a bunch of fireworks shooting off the building (tallest in the world? I am not sure.) Anyway, so far, I am aware of a couple big events happening in Austin. Let me try to list them all. I apologize if I have done a rotten job.

1. So, this first one is great because of its local music -- including bands that I am a fan of, The White White Lights and Missions. The rest are also great, I am sure, I am just less familiar. You can read more about the event on the Parish website and buy tickets online for $18 - they'll be $24 at the door. Get there early - first 100 attendees receive 2 free drinks. You'll also have a chance to win a free SXSW badge.

2. Here is Rare Magazine's event at the Seaholm Powerplant. Go the the event site to buy tickets (now $100), and to learn more about the artists (Flosstradamus and Car Stereo Wars) This one is bound to be the big event that you may regret missing out on. Sounds like fun, I would probably try to be here if I were in Austin.

3. Beauty Bar's NYE event sounds pretty great. It's only $5 at the door with an RSVP to beautybaraustinrsvp@gmail.com and $10 without. Plus, there is DJ Mel and a load of local bands.

4. This one is thrown by my old buddies at Central Booking. They are coming to Wahoo's in Austin to bring you a NYE event. It is only $5 at the door, so this is a good deal for those of you who do not have a bonus to blow on partying.

5. I don't normally advertise Co-op parties, but this one is being thrown by my buddy Blake. Plus, I went to one of his recently and it was actually pretty fun. This would probably be a good alternative for the underage ones who wanna get together on NYE. Plus, I like the flier. This one is free with free alcohol, suggested $2 donation, and suggested BYOB.

6. I couldn't quite find a flier for this one, but it is being put on by Knuckle Rumbler and appears to be at a house. Here is the Facebook event page. Dj Richard Gear and an LCD Soundsystem cover band will be playing. This event is free, but there is a suggested $5 donation. There will be free Tito's vodka and keg beer, but it is suggested that you bring your own champagne.

7. This one at Malverde is expensive, especially now, but it sounds like fun. The thing is there will be an open bar, free La Condesa hors d'oeurves, Hornitos cocktails, etc. Buy tickets on this site.

Satin Sheet Vol. 1 - DJ Sober

SOBER of The Party/Central Booking sent me this musical gem today. He told me about it a while ago; it seemed to be his passion project (pun inadvertently intended). It's a pretty smooth collection of R&B and Soul, as far as my un-musically-inclined ear can tell. The idea behind the mix is as I titled the post. As soon as he posted the mix on his own site, saying he uses the songs to "warm up his Dj nights and his bedroom" it immediately reminded me of the old Lovage album.


[click on that for a little treat]

Really enjoy these albums now,
;) TD

P.S. The Party boys are DJing this Thursday for a John Legend after-party in Dallas hosted by John Legend himself. I am so impressed! Go to Sober's Myspace for more information: LINK

Last Dallas Post

, because eventually we all have to leave Dallas.

Vega's first live show in Dallas is this Saturday at the Cavern. For once the bar is allowing 18+ in, but for the hefty fee of $8. Dallas sure likes to rip people off. I guess $8 is better than $10 is better than not having shit to do on a Saturday.


and as always, Central Booking (The Party) has got their thing going at Zubar on Lower Greenville:

Au Revoir Dallas, after this weekend I will be scarce.

Free-kend

Transmission Entertainment's Free Week has arrived, which means you guys can stop worrying about all the money you blew in 2008 and enjoy yourselves.
For more information:
Transmission Myspace
Transmission Web site

TONIGHT:

The Famousish knows more than I do, so just refer to their blog for more on what's going on where tonight.

SATURDAY:


And this is Beauty Bar's lineup for the rest of the week.

MEGAPOST: Tri-City Update

FRIDAY:
Something to do tonight, Austin.

I am definitely going to be back home by New Year's Eve, but I feel like everybody is still gone. Who'll be in Austin for New Year's? Please, give me a show of hands.

Denton and Dallas are a lot more happening tonight it seems:

This one is at Hailey's in Denton. Good club, good DJs. Vega will be there, what more need I say?


At Zubar (Lower Greenville)in Dallas.

Finally the time for this party has arrived. I'm excited -- I assure you I will be there tonight, dressed festively.

SATURDAY:

Maybe it costs $3, but Glasnost is DJ Richard.Gear approved. Go to their Myspace and preview it for yourself.
Or:
Glasnost - Static
Looks like Go Go Garcia is also DJing that night. Alternative flier?

In Dallas, this sounds like it'd be pretty legit. I really like Keith P's sound. Here's a little featurette I wrote about him after seeing him spin before Kill The Noise over the summer: !!!


Alright. Try to decipher this messy, messy post and tell me what you're doing. Enjoy yourself, after all the holidays are over and you should be stress free 'til after New Years. At least, that's my policy.

MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND

So, I'm throwing the first party in my life, on Friday, which also happens to be my birthday! Of course, because I'm extremely vain I am on the flier. BUT It's going to be a lot of fun, I guess and hope, because I am teaming up with CATATAK and we are conjoining the party with ATX Fixed Gear Bike kids who are doing a race earlier that day. Intense.

Well, here is the flier:
FRIDAY!
So here is a map to get to the house if there is any confusion. Park on Rowood and go through this alleyway and you should hear the party before you get to it.

This is the fixed gear race that is going on earlier that afternoon.

Also going on worthy of note: Tummy Toast's video release at B&T and Mitchell's OutWithMe DJ set at Cockpit. Of course, I want you to come to my party, but check those out and tell me how they were.

SATURDAY:

I told you THE PARTY was coming back to ATX, and here it is - this weekend at the Red7 - and still All Ages! Don't miss out. Plus, what a nice way to reintroduce themselves to Austin by playing with King Louie.


I missed out on the first one and may miss out on the second one, but it doesn't mean you have to. 21+ should go to this, seems like it'd be interesting. Anyway, if you don't like the nudity, stay for the music.

Just saw this flier for another Saturday party. My Homewerk friends are putting it on!

The Party is relocating

...to Red7, for Austinites. As for Dallasites, keep going to the Loft.



Will (SOB3R) tried to help me get into Whisky Bar last night -Thankyou! Unfortunately it didn't pan out, but he did tell me a juicy piece of information. The Party is officially coming back to Austin :D This time they'll be at Red 7 (7th & Red River) and they will continue to be All Ages parties for the youngns. Look forward to some shows there; I'll let you know once I hear about one!

Come back, TheParty!

I think everybody who's been to The Party at Mohawk is missing it as much as I am. So, be sure to go tonight (!) to Whisky Bar, where The Party is coming back to spin, and with special guest Faux Fox.


Bringin' The Party from Dallas to Austin!
Plus, what a groovy flier.

I'm going to try to go of course. Try harrrd.

OR Milk @ Beauty Bar is always fun. At least I had a lot of fun at the one I was lucky enough to catch... the 4th I believe. This one looks dark, maybe you should go dressed like a vampire.


If not those 2, B-the-Beat (Brion) is DJing a house party tonight as well. Probably worth checking out of course, not that I have personally seen him myself. But a good house party is always a lot of fun - unless it involves getting harassed by bros and sohoes.

Here's the flier for that:

weekend updatez:

AUSTIN WAS A BLAST!

I ended up skipping out on C&C because of the cover, and just going to Beauty Bar both nights for CobraKrames+LissaMonet on Friday and MILK4 on Saturday. Here are some pictures from the events:

Friday night:





Party Flicks: OUTWITHME
& THEPARTYDFW
Photobooth: ANNIERAY
The last two are of me, by Mitchell, at the after party in my favorite swimsuit. He did a mini photo sesh of me in it :]

I unfortunately missed Lissa Monet, I didn't know she was going on soooo early, but I caught Cobra Krames, who was amazing.

Saturday night:



Photos: weownthiscity
I literally danced this entire night, King Louie and Abominatron were good.

MY OUTFIT ON FRIDAY NIGHT:

The Salvation Army sparkly leotard dress that I cut the crotch off of, and some Payless heeled black boots. Simple, but I liked it. [photo by SOB3R of TheParty]

Video of MILK4 and more photos to come!
