The mini-tour weekend
This weekend proved to be very exhausting yet exciting, with every gig the last 3 days requiring a certain vibe to the event, I, with my "roadie" Chip embarked on a journey through the cobbled streets of La Villita for the surprise Birthday party for the wife of a very prominent businessman, who owns several restaurants on the riverwalk. We were welcomed as guests and celebrated along with the fun crowd that danced almost all night with the birthday girl looking Smashing @ 50.
On Saturday, I was at the Jive Refried Vintage store, spinning new music from Besnard Lakes, Goldfrapp, Moldy Peaches mashed with 2001:Space Odyssey:music from the soundtrack, a worthwhile expierment that attracted attention from customers entering Rosario's a Popular mexican restuarant and not understanding what i was playing , in the first place,. Odd stares and several curiosity looks later, a few "southtowners" and friends who read this blog did make a stop to indulge in tequila and turtles.
And Sunday was the Tea Dance fundrasier for SAAF's Webb party at SOHO martini bar,
This being a all disco format music with a slant toward underground classics, just what i never get to play. Dust off those 12-inch vinyl extended mixes, I DID.!
Yet this crowd was so receptive of this genre that it brought people to the dj table to let me know that it had been 20 years since hearing some these songs and the memory floods were making them dance. It did help that the martini's were flowing "free" and everyone including me was indulging. I love apple martini's! The event was to end right as the telecast of the Academy awards was set to begin, BUT, as always ,
everyone was having such a great time that they asked me to extend the party for another hour.
Sure, at this point, several martini's later, I was also on the dance floor shaking my groove thing
My assistant Chip ended up finishing the set, and breaking down the equipment.
Then, I GOT A TICKET, for parking in a loading and unloading zone. I love Martini's.....not ticket fines.

MAGNET 3
Some new art work created last week, It is a series of miniture furniture. titled: Snare Pad-Miniture Furniture.
Based on break-ups gone crazy and nesting. All furniture is wrapped with wire and hemp, to keep out the jealous x-lover , all the while birds are drawn to the "art" to nest and start anew from the chaos.

a Date added!
In addition to the shows/gigs this weekend I have added a Live set(spinning vinyl), Saturday Afternoon at the Store, Jive Refried/San Antonio.A Tea Dance , from 2pm-5pm.
I will be spinning Disco classics and some other stuff.
d.j refried on the move.
On Valentine's day, I spun @ Franco Mondini Ruiz's art opening at SoHo, an 8-hour gig that keep the guests and art whores grooving, the art had a very 70's feel and the music was it's soundtrack. This weekend I have two bookings back to back, one is a surprise party for the wife
of a very prominent businessman, taking place on the river walk as a private event.
Followed by a mixer on Sunday for SAAF's, Webb party planners/organizers titled: Tea Dance 2pm-7pm., Now this sounds exciting as i have been asked to only play 70's disco music, the more obscure the better.
These are the projects that I look forward to being part of and i will be posting images/blogging about my expierence later.

for....Eva?? or.......
My sketch for Eva Longoria's wedding dress, A bit on the eccentric angle with no armholes. I was asked by Micheal Quintanilla, San Antonio Express-News staff writer to give him my vision for the bride. and this was my Take. The sketch/story appeared in the July 6, 2007 edition of the newspaper, under Designers' Fancies. Interesting is, I was approached last night at Henry De la Paz's Fashion show, by a future bride to be, to create a sketch for her wedding dress. Given my current fascination with deconstructed garments , It may look unwearable and not look like a wedding dress, at all.
