LazZ's 25th & Clint and Boogs @ Decorum

Had a house party to celebrate LazZ's 25th. LazZ was busting some 80's and RnB (pic on right) and managed to get people dancing and having a good time. Plenty of good food, booz and some good music made it a memorable night.

Afterwards we went and checked out Clint (pic below) and Boogs at Decorum. Decorum was nice. It was quiet, but apparently it gets packed Saturday nights. Clint played a good deep downbeat set, and Boogs played a nice eclectic set, including (Hip Hoppy) Vocal House and Breaks.

Dinner Plain Hotel -- Mt. Hotham!

Went on a Ski trip to Mt. Hotham with a group for the weekend, and stayed at the Snowbird Inn, close to the Ski Lifts for `The Summit'. It was fantastic to wake up each morning to see snow outside the window, and to see people skiing on the slopes!


Had a great time playing at the Dinner Plain Hotel, at Dinner Plain (10 minutes away from Hotham)!! I played a combined set on the Saturday night, with resident DJ Juddy, from 9pm - 1am. I started off, playing some soft US House, and then moved onto more upbeat US House. Juddy took over for a few tracks with some breaks and darker/electro house after which I continued with some of my more banging tunes, and some commercial stuff. From there we kept swapping every three tracks, until 1am.


The bar at the DP Hotel was awesome! Nice PA system (including lighting and a smoke machine), pool tables and nice comfy couches. They were giving away $1000, free drinks and a mountain bike as prizes for those who purchased a $8 raffle ticket. We didn't win the $1000 but my girl friend managed to win 6 shots, so it wasn't a total waste ;-D


There were lots of requests for country music (mainly Kenny Rogers), but we didn't end up playing (or having) any! Anyhow people seemed to be having a great time.

Definitely the best local gig so far!!

Ortofon Concordes!!

Bought a pair of Ortofon Concordes from Rhythm and Soul!! Costed me $300. I was in a hurry to buy these because I needed them for the gig up in the Snow. I had only about 10 minutes to bargain at Rhythm and Soul, but the fella was good enough to reduce it to $300, from $318.
