Trannyshack Reno 2006
This was my 9TH YEAR on this trip. I think I'm the only person with "perfect attendence."
So let's just say, after the balls-out insanity that was the Bootie party the night before (900+ people!), this year's Reno trip was a nice little vacation from our usually nightclubbing responsibilities. Not that it was a TOTAL vacation, because I still had to keep it together enough to at least DJ that night at the 1099 Club, and run sound for the show.The sound in that place sucked, and my live vocal number was a disaster. Whatever. Not that anyone cared. What a weird DJ gig. I did get tipped out $40 by one of the Reno locals though, so I must have been at least picked out some decent songs, as I attempted to beat-match off of a CD walkman (which, BTW, doesn't work).
Lots of chit-chatting and socializing ... guaranteed cocktail party in a metal box on wheels, careening at 60 mph down the highway. Yup, summer camp for freaks. Except that it was TOTAL winter. How winter? So winter that coming back, from Reno on Sunday, Interstate 80 was closed due to a snowstorm. We had to take a detour along Highway 50, which required putting snow chains on the bus. It took 10 HOURS to get back home to San Francisco. Ugh. Good thing I napped half the way home.
The ride back was a bit mellower this year. I think everyone partied so hard on the way up, that they burned themselves out. Remember people, it's a marathon, not a sprint!
Tomorrow, I leave for NEW YORK CITY! The last time I was there was 11 years ago. Woo-hoo!
