And... Go.

Another great party at Lit yesternight. Lauren threw down another blinding set of ass-crazy electro jams, people danced and drank (as they should), and after a rather shaky set to start the night, I came on again around two and somehow found a groove that couldn't be denied. Played everything from LCD Soundsystem to Audio Two to A Tribe Called Quest to Luke Vibert to Jamie Lidell to Grandmaster and Melle Mel , and pretty much whatever else I could fit in. In all, a fantastic evening. Thanks to all who came out, and especially to Ms. Flax , my partner in DJ mischief. (Now, on to setting up next month's party. Announcement of DJ and band line-up in the next couple days, with luck.) -PAR

This Tuesday evening in Manhattan, it's the March installment of "Meanwhile...", downstairs at Lit . And it's gonna be incredible. Last month was such a blinding success, we're bringing back our special guest DJ Lauren Flax to tear it up again. My co-conspirator Justin won't be around, so it's gonna be longer sets and less people in the DJ booth... Just Flax and myself all evening. Two crazy kids playing hot tunes at each other until last call. Drinking, loud music, a dark space, the occcasional flashing light, and a bunch of people dancing their faces off. In other words, a party you don't want to miss. -PAR

Above, two pics of the Met from this afternoon. Below, a quick selection of snapshots taken since January 1st. I guess this is how the year looks, whenever I slow down long enough to notice... -PAR
