What is L.A. to you?
To me, she is great and twisted; showing me horrors that I long after while alluding a life of the walking dead...
I am glad to report, I severed some of the tentacles that had hold of me since I left.
.That took way too long.

Officialy, End Your Summer The Right Way

That's right! It's in the park,
so you can dance all day and all night,
and not wake up with sore ankles and knees!
(OK, that last part may be a bit of an exaggeration,
but we do expect any swelling to decrease by
tomorrow morning and eventually, go away entirely.)
(If the swelling persists, you may have one of a slew of ailments
linked to swollen joints, and none of them are good;
so get your butt to the clinic and get that checked out!)

Living in L.A.'s 100th Post!!!
Hello, hello, hello.... I wanted to take a moment and interject a bit of knowledge in the middle of your busy day. First, it's good to have you back, as we have more information posted about Justin Martin; including: links to his sites and some demo mixes. Also, we have some photos up from the first submissions for the Photo Contest. While you still have time, send us your alterEgo Event Pics to be entered to win a free ticket!
That's all folks! I told you I just wanted to interject a bit.... Anyway, enjoy the rest of the site! Original beginning of the post:
The Week That Was
Last week was a 'hurry, hurry, hurry; just to wait, wait, wait' week for me, personally. This prevailing theme set the tone for me to miss one of the most anticipated events of the year, Timo Maas at Ecco Lounge in Hollywood. Of course, he was on the slate for last Saturday night. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I missed this one; and I have already strained my hamstring from repeatedly kicking myself. So, as far as The Week That Was, I've got nothin' for you...... not even an update as to how good the show was.

You and Music? Check the Connection (Music)
As we all wander along life's path, surrounded by increasing uncertainties, one thing should become more and more clear: our self-knowledge. For example, I have a good grasp on my relationship with martial arts, with writing, and with music. I know my musical tastes, I am very familiar with what sounds I like, and I stay open-minded for new tunes that come my way. But, my connection with music received a wake-up call recently, as I watched an iPhone app stream real-time lyrics while an old familiar song played blasted through my headphones. The combination of the app and the headphones helped me experience a greater depth to this track than I knew before and a greater depth of incongruity between the lyrics I sing and the real lyrics to the song. Yes, that's right, you heard it here first; I admit it:

MUSIC: Droog's First downtown Standard rooftop party: Martin Buttrich
Here's Droog's first entry into the Standard pool party season; and it looks like it might make a splash..... None other than Martin Buttrich. The famed producer from Germany, especially known for his work with Loco Dice. Personally, he's one of my favorites when I'm listening at home. But, I hope he redeems himself for his latest show (Avalon 3/6) in L.A.; in which I feel he did not give his best effort.
With all the hi jinx happening, Sunday looks to be a dynamic day:
Just don't forget to save energy for the alterEgo special event at Ecco Sunday night. No worries; if you plan on attending the Standard event, there's just enough time to S.S.& S. (oh, and get some food!) after the Droog party and still get to Ecco for the night's big event!
Here's the Droog flyer:
The party begins at a usual 1pm time BUT will end earlier -7 pm. Please make your plans accordingly - our special guest will start right after 4pm. We are extending our $10 discount entry until 4pm.
Wind or shine, the show will go on with abandon. The time to kick off the shoes and dance the blues is nigh. Armed with two lethal weapons - Martin Buttrich and Konrad Black- our label is set to jump start its second full season of rooftop debauchery and a second year of releasing music. Hitch to our unruly wagon and let's have some serious fun.

AlterEgo Events Launches Egotistic: Sun 4/4 CHARLIE MAY on the Standard Rooftop (Nightlife)
There are few more inspired artists working in electronic music today than Charlie May. As the architect behind many of the stylistic blueprint shifts in dance since the early heady days of acid house, May knows a thing or two about what makes a dance floor tick. One half of revered progressive house pioneers Spooky; the engineer and producer of many of Sasha’s biggest singles and albums; highly respected solo producer in his own right, May has remained at the vivacious beating heart of house since the early ’90s, taking the pulse of the clubbing populace and ensuring it remains in rude health.
From his first steps into the world of dance music as a starry-eyed, inspired raver attending London’s legendary Brain club nights in Soho, to his current position as the go-to guy for breathtaking, sonically adventurous technoid future dance, this producer and DJ has consistently blazed a trail of innovation which has underpinned many of the most important developments in electronic music.
Egotistic presents: Charlie May @ the Standard Downtown! Pool Party on Sun April 4th! (Nightlife)

Also: A Pool Party Survival Guide....
Well, I just wanted to interject a bit..... The weather has started to comply nicely with all requests for a season change. Now, it's time to hit the gym, get a quick tan, and do whatever else you have to in order to look good in your bathing suit; 'cause this Sunday is another pool party atop the Standard downtown hotel! Although this still isn't the official start of the season, that date IS fast approaching (that's pool party season, NOT football season, for those of you needing clarification).
