right on

I have been saying this all along. Read on. It's discrimination and sexism that keeps women out of science and DJing for that matter:

Thursday (7/27) @ Sugar and Saturday (7/29) @ Harvey's

This week I'll be joining Native Intelligence at Sugar and playing the art & music sessions featuring art by the talented Danyol. FYI.... Danyol's art is up right now at Harvey's at 18th & the Castro.... You should check it out!

Thursday (7/27): Native Intelligence (Sleevin Records)
DJ Zenith (Zenomena Recordings) 9ish?
Special Guest DJ: Mystery Meat....

Where: Sugar
377 Hayes @ Gough

When: 7 PM - 12 AM

Saturday (7/29):

The Art & Music Sessions featuring art by Danyol

Where: Harvey's
18th & Castro

Who: DJ Zenith (Zenomena Recordings) 10:45 PM - 1:15 AM set time
Cez

When: 29 July
8 PM - 2 AM

It's Funkin' Deep --> Live & The KZSU Summer Soul-stice

I finally, finally, finally solved my software issues this AM. It's actually a funny story, really. Well funny now that it's OVER. The story is kinda sad actually but it was also an invaluable learning experience for me on SOOOO many levels.

I plan to release a companion CD ASAP. It's titled: The Answer Is..... Not because I want to throw 5000 CDs at you guys... The reasoning is that this CD is very edgy, driving, and a tad fierce. That's not all that I play so I wanted to put together something loving, smooth, and soulful.

Attention! This mp3 was burned to mp3 @320 Mbps. Translation.... this file is 180 MB. It's not streamed. Some web browsers will make you wait for it to download in it's entirety before listening to it. I recommend reading a 900 page novel if you don't have a high speed connection.

For those of you who I promised to mail a copy to, I will be doing that. I am in the process of making arrangements to get it professionally reproduced (which
means cover art printed directly on the CD). That will take up to 2 weeks.

Here it is:

It's Funkin' Deep -- Live & The KZSU Summer Soul-stice

ANd----But----Wait. There's more!

SAVE the DATE: 9 September (Friday). We're throwing a party at Club Six in the Dark Room (The new VIP room with killer sound). Line up is still to be finalized but you can expect some top talent.

better

i'm finally starting to feel BETTER! wow.

it's funny [and cheeeZY --> consider yourself warned] ... sometimes i get so down and out and then i remember the one thing that's it for me... i can ALWAYS play music. always. always. always.

the knowledge that i have my records, keys, a nice little studio setup, and a guitar at home gives me immense pleasure...

music is the best boyfriend i've ever had. WERD.

dog doody

i have felt like such dog doody at work the past however long and also over the weekend. the worst part is i'm *trying* to feel better. i went to bed early both friday and sunday... definitely didn't go out for that long saturday.... and i've been going to bed early on weekdays as i'm exhausted but nothing seems to help... i couldn't get enough sleep any day last week and i tossed and turned all last night...

i don't know if it's allergies, fatigue, or the remnants of this yucky cold my co-worker passed me but MAN... i don't remember feeling this run down ever.

to top it all off... i pinched my neck last night. i think the culprit is my "not-long-enough" love seat and a DVD session yesterday aimed at getting rest..

i *did* however get the software i need to finish my CD and plan to do that as soon as i'm feeling 100% and have a moment.

tonight i'm going out with some french speaking buddies.... i haven't seen my friend in a few months and he's bringing friends and it's good to keep up da' language skillz.

software woes

well, my new cd sounds great... if i could only cut it out.

brad electro to the rescue, though! mad props man.

i'm having no computer love this week... at the office either. thankfully i've done this before.....

new CD (finally)

I didn't fix my sound card issues... But I did go back and listen to the live recording from the big love show summer soulstice. I like it.

I think at the time I first listened to it i was frustrated with lack of sleep, leaving my purse at the radio station in Stanford, and forgetting my lap top to work. I had to put it away for a couple of weeks before I could put my objective hat on.

I'm going to get advanced copies ready tonight and get out the door with it.

Phew.

sound card woes [again--argh!!]

i'm thinking i might have to chuck this card and get a new one. i'm going to keep straining trying to get this one working... i also suspect potentially my mixing board... anyway until i can get the money together for a new one...

i already knew this day was coming... just not so soon. add this to the list of reasons i am broke-arse. hey. it's only $300 (ARGH!)

this week i'll be practicing music but taking a break from playing out. i want to finish a few business items and i have a few ongoing art projects i want to get finished up.

see ya' next week peeps.

i'm going to be on the TV [again]

i guess UPN and WB are becoming some mega station and they were interviewing people and asking them what they think of when they hear the words CW.

you can only imagine.

it's a bummer i don't have one... last time i saw myself on TV it was a trip.

learning what it means to be a california

i'm nearing the close of my fourth (yes 4TH!!!) year in california. and i am figuring out what that means. cali will harden you.

i had drinks with someone the other night who said that he was over LA... but to me... he is LA. 11 years and you become a part of the beast.

he seems pretty cool just the same.

i'm still learning. patience is a virtue.

thanks!

thanks to those of you who came out last night. i love you guys.

the kindness you've shown me is wonderful.
