Got Dirty?

Hello to All my Favorite Beat Buddies...(Insert name here............;You know who you are,)

I know, I'm jumping the gun, but only a bit. 'Cause Gay Pride weekend is now only a few weeks away. The hype has already started about all the parties, and picnics, and parades that accompany the event; and it's got me all fuzzy with anticipation. BOING, good times. Someone actually came up to me recently and thanked me for being such an 'integral' part of the local gay (Fort Lauderdale) community. And, that got me to thinking about just how much fun it Is to be a part(y) in this community. It seems that every year, there are a Lot of events surrounding the Pride weekend. This year is no different. I already have a short list of 'must do's' and need to 'BE at's.' This will also be the first year in South Florida that they will hold the parade at night. Which will be a huge relief to us all, not having to brave the 100 degree heat as in years past. You might not know it, but, I'm a home grown white boy from the south, and all that night living has cut into my beach time. It's all good, I like it that way. So, where Ever you happen to BE during this Pride season, I encourage you to take part in some of the things that happen in your area. Get Out, Be seen, Be Had, Get Had!! Let's All give 'em something to talk about. And Please, Dress for all occasions. Leave the fuzzy house slippers, and "shower" shoes under the bed. The paparazzi (and probably Channel 7,) Will be out in force and you don't want to be in the rags unless you are Fierce.

Speaking of Fiercness....On to some fierce Music. Lately, on some different blogs, there has been a lot of talk, some of it from me....about music. Some bloggers have got me going about "Playing out of the box." Can you imagine, Me, playing "out of the box?" (snicker) Well, That to me, would be mixing it up, and not the 'same 'ol, Same 'ol.' Pulling out some of the different mixes of the big songs that are out right now. Putting them together with songs that take them somewhere else, context wise. (example. circuit vs latin vs electro vs deep) Playing out of the Usual "Style" that one might normally get tagged for. So on this night, I tried to "Do" as I preach. This set is one of Those sets. In listening back over the night....the beginning of this one, starts out with a few "requests," but it just got Dirty after that....just the way I like it. And it sorta set the tone of how the rest of the night came out. Now, I don't need to tell you. It will be different the next time, same bag, same CD's, just comes out in a new order. And, don't get nervous now. You know, that I know, how to ride a crowd, and I Do! And I will, beat them, when it's necessary. And Did! So, breathe deep, like you're going to jump over the edge....and Go with the flow of it. Feel the hi-hats in your hips...and ..."Get chur Cha Cha ON! "

OH, and Play it Loud! It was loud when you heard it in the club. (and the System sounds Good right now) So, Turn up the bass! Have a cocktail! Throw some baby powder on the floor! Get out the fans and flags! Throw it around like no one is watching! And next time, when you see me in the booth.....Stop by and say high. (or whisper something dirty in my ear, you know, for inspiration...(w)

Till then....Keep your heads to the sky...and spread some house love around. Hope to see you Out soon.

Love all around
Herbie
