Getting it on.

My title may be a little misleading but it depends what "it" is. In this case, "it" is defined as life or activity (even though they are not one and the same or are they?)

Even though I am out of town, I would still love to attend all of these (although, in reality I'd usually make it to only a couple. Old age, man, old age.

Tonight- Today is Thursday. But it is no ordinary Thursday; today is a special Thursday. This particular one is a return to the old ways, the underground ways, the SPEAKEASY ways. That's right. The anticipated return of the good ol' speakeasy downtown. For me this is very exciting as its been gone for a while and without it I feel like everybody else who doesn't know some amazing underground cash only/illegal/fantastic/"members only" bar. Anyway, if you are "in the know" and know someone with the password, you too can experience that which is known to few.

Tomorrow- While I have things I find out about first, I have lots of friends who are active and find fun things that I want to do (Anne!). Well this particular one is Midnight Ridazz. I believe they have Critical Mass every first Friday of the month and is usually held somewhere on the Eastside. Tomorrow is especially cool as it is Pillow Fight II. Here is the link. http://midnightridazz.com/viewStory.php?storyId=1078

Saturday- Swimming with the Sharks at the Downtown Standard. Put on by my friend DJ Rockwell this is sure to be a fun-filled, sun-filled afternoon/evening full of hipsters and sexy people (and some fat drunk people too). If you've never been, show up early so you can claim your egg-shaped water beds. Great music and the ultimate scene from a movie. Its good to experience at least once.

Saturday- The CC Gala. Self explanatory if you know what that is. Cool. if not, thats cool too.

Yesterday to Saturday- I live in the Arts District Downtown and for the last week they have been blighting my life by blocking off the Traction Street entrance. Its for a good cause though. They are having rehearsals for a play in the mean streets of the Arts District/Joel Bloom Square. This play is about the rich history of Downtown Artists living in and about the Arts District. I am sad I won't be able to attend it as it only runs Wed, 8/06- Sat 8/09. So if you are around, and are interested in that, you should go. There is a $20 suggested donations but its really "pay what you can."

Sunday- Friends of mine are going to Magic Mountain. Funnily enough, there is someone named "Magic Mark" going. "Magic Mark" is going to Magic Mountain. Woo! But more importantly, Anne is going, which makes it all worth while (you too Cher).
