15 12 2011
Okay wrong season. But it’s a busy pre-holidays weekend for me in NY before a long break from the cold city. A couple club gigs, and a couple holiday parties including the always fun middle school dance (at the Beacon!). Then I’m headed to the Bay Area for the month of January, so California family see you soon!
Friday night is the regular Dutty Artz Sweat Lodge, this time with everybody’s favorite, prodigal NY DJ Jess Jubilee!
And then on Saturday Jess and I continue our marathon run at SOB’s for the 1st ever, Geko Jones organized Just the Tip of feminism Soundclash. The rules? Women artists only. You too can participate in the warm-up Twitter clash during tomorrow’s #YoutubeDivas hashtag marathon on Twitter!
Lastly, next Tuesday will be the Z’s Holiday party at Zebulon.
