Review: Steve Lawler @ 4th and B
And so begins my weekend with lawler:
drew, julie and i get to san diego just before 11 and get in pretty quickly. the place is already getting full and the opening dj is laying down some nice tracks. the people all around me seemed to totally dig his sound b/c lots of peeps were dancing.
then sean miller gets up and i have to say, sets lawler up nicely. he as well layed down some nice tracks with some very funky beats.
but of course i'm waiting for lawler and i was not disappointed. his set was different than when i saw him in atlanta, not quite as dark and deep and dirty but i think he was saving that for tonight at avalon. i stayed down front mostly with julie but ran into way too many handsey guys and that got way too irritating. dancing should not be a contact sport unless invited and i played defense for most of the evening. i mean some guy even tried to wash me! it got so bad that at 3:35 i looked at drew and i said you ready? so we split right before the end. i usually don't get that kind of hassle at 4th and B but last night must have brought out the penis dancers in full force.
but other than that i had a great time. saw desiree, serch54(so nice meeting you and man you looked so happy every time i saw you) and liverpoolken. those were the only SDTA's i saw and then i saw several regular san diegians that i normally see while in town. so great to party with them again. so crazy, this guy comes up to me and says, "were you at the hollywood canteen about a month ago" and i'm like yeah and he said i saw you there. how crazy small this world and scene is.
so anyways, the ride home was from hell, not only was i exhausted and a little tipsey but we were in search of a bathroom for julie which we did not find until like the 5th place. how does every place in san diego not have a bathroom? then they decide to close the 5 around irvine and send us some crazy ass way around. then i somehow miss the 5 and get on the 101 around downtown and then they decide to close the 101 so we get on the 10 heading the wrong way!!!!! i was in traffic hell and poor julie and drew got to see the grouchy sarah. but by the end we were all laughing b/c if it was going to happen traffic wise it happened to us and all at 6 am on a saturday!!! that's LA for ya. so i crawled into bed at 7 am and crashed.
but anyways..................... i EXPECT some dark, deep, dirty, sexy house tonight from lawler and i have a sneaky suspicion we are gonna get it. i hope they totally do up avalon and make it crazy in there and i can't wait to party with the whole darkside (wait are we using that anymore ) crew! see you tonight.
