Three weeks of relative calm

Ahhh ... I'm currently in the midst of a three-week period of relative calm. Sure, there have been some gigs – DJing a super-gay set at Pop Roxx on Gay Pride weekend, a couple of local Jameson Bartenders Balls for Smash-Up Derby to play, the San Francisco Magazine Best of the Bay party, performing as Princess Kennedy at Trannyshack – but overall, it hasn't been this crazy feeling of GO GO GO!!!

It's three weeks between Bootie parties, so that helps. Time for us to get all caught up, before the cycle starts all over again, as we launch headfirst into summertime, and all that that entails: Bootie anniversary parties in both LA (two years!) and SF (four years!) ... moving Bootie NYC to Luke & Leroy in July ... doing the The A+D Show in August ... recording a Smash-Up Derby album ... getting ready for Burning Man, and doing the last year of my Black Rock City newspaper, Piss Clear.

But right now, it's all good. D and I have actually (gasp!) hung out with friends, and have gone out to dinner with people! We actually went to somebody else's club for a change! We saw a movie in the LGBT Film Festival! (Okay, so that was kinda work-related -- Motherfucker: The Movie, a documentary about the famed NYC club night)

But anyway, it's been nice, although I know it's going to be ending soon, and then it's going to be Bootie-related stress all over again (I just realized how fucking ridiculous that sounds!)

Success is killing me

I'm barely keeping my head above water.

This month, I'm promoting and DJing a Bootie mashup party every fucking weekend ... two in San Francisco, one in LA, and starting on May 18th, we go monthly in New York City.

Smash-Up Derby is playing five shows this month -- Philadelphia, Denver, New York City, and two in San Francisco. One of them is an acoustic show.

Plus, we have three other random DJ gigs ... which are almost kinda nice, seeing as none of them are attached to parties that we have to promote as well. We just get to show up and play.

I'm performing at Trannyshack tonight -- it's Pink Floyd: The Wall. I'm doing "Comfortably Numb" ... which is insanely appropriate for how I'm currently feeling. The entire performance is pretty much a metaphor for my life right now.

Except that I have no one to help carry me out the door.
