When In Roam: September 2006

what a world-class city

i almost fought this bum the other night leaving celebrities
he fell off his bike and i said are you alright
and he was like piss off so i was like wtf, i was being serious
and he's like you're wearing a pink shirt id expect you to be sarcastic
so i was like FUCK YOU and stood there yelling at him before realizing, he's a bum

you better have six figures or a college education before i waste my drunken energies stomping you

I got noooo tengo dinero

No more binge drinking. No more legends.

Happy Birthday JD

You are now a man. At least in the eyes of the court. Henry's Kitchen... mmm.

The Brothers Lok

My mom, her fiance Jacques, and some psycho (I think his name is Alec)

my buddy Julian's debut DJ set last night at Gecko (the old Marble Arch).. you killed it!

Superstar DJs: Danny Taylor (now of Ministry of Sound, Taipei), myself, and big Jules (PH1/Vivid)

that makes twice

in one week, ive been beaten to the punch. both times in my own personal goals/respective fields/dreams/delusional fantasy. so much for originality.

i suppose i should congratulate the more qualified (if Gossip Records did just sign another vancouverite, and fellow Prime Collective dj jeff daniels) - and my phD certified cousin who gets to spearhead the charge writing my grandfather's memoirs, while i mindlessly transcribe cassette tapes.

in the words of rowan atkinson... its a race

time to sacrifice something, no?

Ego Trip.. they kill any crowd, even ignorant underagers who are spending their first weekend away from home

put down your pencils please.

I'm back home in less time than a Suns possession, so lets wrap it up.

Dublin has a bustling, concentrated (and seedy) city center, not much walking around to do, but we managed to hit up the necessary: Temple Bar - main clubbing district, the Jameson distillery, Dublin Castle, etc. also took a day trip to political Belfast (go read BELFAST DIARY) - 3hr bus ride following a night where we got back at 7am. *damn ze Germans* still think we should go to sleep Gordon? - took it in the cheesy tourbus method, which was pretty efficient.

Met the requisite hostellers - Americans, Aussies, Canadians, French.. while consuming enough Guinness daily to feed an Irish family of four. For those keeping score at home, it also has the most gorgeous plain-looking women in the world. I'm going to go ice my neck

..hella hick.. Washingtonians

some park

we have no corkscrew.

Kim proves that American gals can hold their whiskey

proust! and goodbye Tartine

you ready? im back from stockholm and catching a flight to dublin in a couple. update from Metro Weekender and the day before my last shift. germans are friendlier than advertised!

I arrived on what seemed like the busiest day of summer, just walking around the city I found international military band show, from swedish to pakistani, canadians, and everyone else in the midst of armed guards.. there was also a marathon and the world famous Django Festival. then with a bunch of people from the hostel we hit up Trodgarden, an open air club/beergardenn for a packed night..

Everyon'es going to ask about the Swede girls, well the stereotype is true - both women and men , blonde hair and Nordic eyes but I mostly always been a brunette guy

I caught the international Django Festival in Sodermalm, these guys were really impressive.. check the finger speed!
