Poor Deda

I love my grandfather, Claude “Deda” Evans

He was a great man. In the 60’s he was the head minister at SMU University. He got his picture on the front page of the paper down there because he danced down the isle with a girl wearing hotpants. He was then kicked out of the University and sent to a small church in a smaller town in South Carolina because he did a sermon about how it is immoral, unethical and God would not agree with any type of racism. (That didn’t go over to well in Dallas in the early 60’s.)

My grandfather has dementia. He has been in a slow decline for years, and recently it has gotten worse. My mother decided to buy my sister and I plane tickets to fly down to NC this weekend to see him maybe for the last time. So I will be having a sad weekend. Hopefully it will be filled with some good memories. My grandparents live on the side of a mountain here:

I spent part of every summer there. I will always love the Appalachian mountains. My mom build a small vacation house right next to my grandparents (Mackie and Deda – how cute are those names) house. She has been trying to get us to come down and see her new home for a few years. We will finally get to see it. Here is her house:

It looks nice.

So I will not be here this weekend. will be solo the Friday and DJ Oxygen will be solo this Monday. Have a great memorial day weekend everyone.

Weird night, must be the full moon. The crowd was strange, they didn’t dance much, they didn’t even stay in the room much (I know it was really nice out.) Matthew and I didn’t really seem to be clicking all night…. What can you do, these nights happen.

Hopefully Matthew had a good last hour. It is now sleepy time.

I found out tonight that doesn’t have her ears pierced?@?! Wow. That was very strange to find out. It’s also pretty cool.

I was “encouraged” not to wear my earrings at work, so I haven’t had them in for a week. I put them in tonight and my ears are yelling at me. I don’t wear normal sized earrings, I wear 10 gage earrings. When I first put them in two years ago I left them in. I have never taken them out for more then an hour or two in those 2 years.

In the week I’ve had them out my ears have closed a ton. Man does that suck. I guess I will just have to put them in all the time. Oh well, I like wearing my earrings.

Once again I had tons O fun tonight. Thanks to everyone who came out. Our room would have been super busy if it wasn’t for all the smokers needing to go out and have a cig for a hour at a time. Bastards! ;-P

My friends page looks all screwy. :-S

One thing I don’t like about my new job is the fact that I never have any time to read journals anymore (Or to update my own for that matter.)

It was a really good night. Dancefloor was pretty sporadic throughout the night until the last hour or two. But I had a great time spinning all night. Sorry for any misspellings.

I had tons of fun tonight. There were people out tonight but unfortunately most of them were out smoking most of the night (Fuckers) But I still had a lot of fun. I really liked the music and I had some great mixes. (At least they seemed great to me.)

I have tomorrow off, so I will write up and post my playlist, it’s been way to long since I posted one.

Thank you to everyone who came out.

Going solo tonight and a great TV moment

Tonight (Monday) I will be solo all night. I heard last week was very slow. (To be expected the week after prom and the day before Ass23) I hope this week will be better.. So come one, come all, bring your friends, bring your neighbors (and don’t forget about your neighbors friends and your friends acquaintances)

PS I will also have some new music.

I just found one of the greatest late night TV bits of all time online. It is also very timely with the new Star Wars coming out this week. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: Triumph the Dog vs. Star Wars Fans

coming soon – tales from the new job

Hey, and I actually get to spin tonight! This will be the first time in 3 weeks we haven’t been out of town. So there will be an actual E27 tonight, weeee.

Now getting out of work in time to pick up Mr. Noise and make it to the club on time in another matter.

I know most of you aren’t Viking fans… but the thing that one of the Vikings was caught with at the airport is just WAY to funny. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present…. The Whizzinator. (You can’t make that shit up)

PS Great pics !

I really like how the pics at gothprom.com turned out. These are good too. Great job picture takers!

Back!

Yay, I made it back from Houston. Houston is a strange city. It’s huge, both in physical size and in population. I didn’t know it was the 4th largest city in the country, and I guess it’s quickly catching Chicago to become the 3rd largest and talk about traffic! There was a traffic jam almost 24 hours a day on the freeway in front of my hotel. Get this, they are building a new freeway that runs through the city, it is going to have 18 lanes! They don’t fuck around in Texas.

It’s also pretty hot down there, it was in the upper 80’s every day. I don’t mind heat so that wasn’t so bad. I learned a ton about my new job, and I also learn how huge of a undertaking the MOA property is going to be. The guy who was training me was pretty cool though, he said if worse comes to worse just stay at the mall long enough to have it look good on your resume and then get the fuck out of there.

I did make it out to one darksider night. The night is called Havok. Unfortunately the night was super dead this past Sunday. I was told it was because of Mothers day and there were also some torrential rains that day. But I did meet a few of the resident DJ’s. We talked about music and what works down there and what works up in MN. We also talked about the scenes in general. They were all very cool. The music that night was pretty good. I heard a few songs I hadn’t heard before, I set up a connection with one of the DJ’s (), we will be exchanging playlists and such. So hopefully I will have some cool new songs to bring up here.

The club itself was very nice physically. Lots of big comfortable chairs, a pretty good sized dancefloor. The strange thing about this club, which is called Encounters (not work safe), is that it is a swingers club on the weekends. How strange is that. Now I know we have swingers parties up here, I’ve even been to one once (strangest first date I ever went on) but to have an actual club that is a swingers club all the time seemed really weird to me. I ended up talking to the bar tender for a while (turned out we had a mutual friend – small world huh.) He told me some crazy stories about that place. I just couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that they get away with it. It seemed very illegal to me, oh well what ever works.

Other then that my trip was fairly boring. I’m very glad to be back and very glad to have internet access again. I am now going to go catch-up on all my emails and LJ reading. I haven’t even seen any prom pics except for some really cool ones that sent me. (Thank you BTW, they are great!) If anyone knows where some other pics are could you point me in the right direction.
