Hi everyone, I'm writing an article for the North County Times newspaper about how bottle service has recently become popular in San Diego nightclubs. I'm looking for people from the San Diego area (especially from the north county area: Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, etc) who are willing to be quoted in my article about their opinions on bottle service and what effect they think it will have/is having on San Diego's nightlife. (You don't need to have ever gotten bottle service in a club before, but if you have, that's a plus.) If you are from the San Diego area and would willing to be interviewed for my article (or know someone who would), please e-mail me ASAP at Alexandra.L.DeLuca@gmail.com. Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can find the remix of "White Flag?" I'm talking about the house one, not the one on the CD. Thanks!

First of all, I'm glad I didn't bother to get tickets! I walked right onto the Pier when I got there at 7:30, but it was claustrophobic central so I decided to leave and watch from the fence -- much better. Anyway, yeah Our Lady Peace was embarrassing, but I felt bad for them when people started screaming for Sasha. Sasha is my hero so obviously I enjoyed his set. It *sucked* that they had so many technical difficulties but don't buy the conspiracy theory - come on, MTV knew 90% of the crowd was there to hear him so I don't see why they'd deliberately do something that would turn the audience into an angry mob! So, yes the sound problems sucked and yes his set was far too short, but the bottom line is WE ALL GOT TO SEE SASHA FOR FREE! How often does that happen? I hadn't heard Xpander live since S&D's anniversary party at Twilo (RIP) over 3 years ago, so that made my week. Thankfully, I left before Moby came on, so all in all, I had a great time.

I don't have tickets but I'm still going to try and go.

Ahhh I am going insane! Is the actual concert going to be outdoors? In other words, if we can't get in without tix, can we still hear/see anything from outside? Must...see...SASHA! xoxo Alexandra

So is Sasha spinning from 7:45 to 8:45?

C'mon... no one's going to come crash the party with me?

For those of us whom luck eludes and we don't win those oh-so-coveted tickets to the S&D gig this Tuesday, how many of you are still going to try to go? I just found out today (dammit!) that they were giving away a limited quantity of free tickets at both Virgin Megastores, but alas, they are all (of course) long gone. Do you think they'll let us in if we just show up at Pier 54? I remember at the free Oakenfold event that MTV put on at Rockefeller Center (the Swordfish premiere), they ended up just letting the general public in aside from people who had (free) tickets in advance. Anyway, is anyone going to go regardless if they have tix or not? I think I am... unless, of course, I get picked for those tickets... or someone wants to sell me theirs! (I'm serious...PM me if you do!) xoxo Alexandra

This is so random, but does anyone know the name of the song that they play on the "Live Webcast" from S&D's Detroit show on deltaheavy.com? The only lyric I know is when a woman says "what do you do, when the world, is not enough..." They played it in Albany and I LOVE that track... can anyone i.d. it for me? Thanks! xoxo Alexandra

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on an article on "Verbal Mistakes Women Make in the Workplace" for the September issue of Cosmopolitan and I need some quotes. There are 2 groups of people I need quotes from: - Women between the ages of 20 - 35 who have made (and conquered) verbal mistakes - Bosses or coworkers who have/have had employees/coworkers who make/have made these common mistakes. There are 6 mistakes the article is focusing on: 1. Using pointless fillers (i.e. "like" um" "you know") 2. Upspeak: ending every sentence as if were a question (i.e. "Hi, this is Susan? I'm calling from JP Morgan?") 3. Swearing, slang and informality (i.e. addressing clients as "you guys") 4. Speaking too softly 5. Using qualifiers before ideas (i.e. "I know this is a stupid idea, but...") 6. Phrasing commands as questions (i.e. saying "do you think you could have this report finished by Friday?" instead of "please have this report finished by Friday.") I would like to have a quote from a woman (age 20 - 35) who has made one of these common mistakes in the past, and a very brief explanation of how she got over it. For example: "I used to say "like" every other word, but now I try to pause for a second or two to make sure I know what I'm saying before I say it." Ideally, I will have 6 different quotes corresponding to each problem. I need a name and an age for these quotes, but YOUR NAME WILL BE CHANGED in the actual article (unless you don't want it to be). I would also like a quote from a supervisor or coworker of who has/had a female employee (age 20 - 35) who makes/has made one of these 6 common verbal mistakes, and why it is/was distracting or negative. For example: "One of our editorial assistants used to talk so quietly it was almost impossible to hear her, so her ideas never got heard." Ideally, I will have 6 different quotes corresponding to each problem. For this quote, we would like a name, age and name/type of company -- YOUR NAME MAY OR MAY NOT BE CHANGED, so please indicate whether you have a preference. If you can help me out, I need these quotes no later than May 15. Please send me a PM if you can help me out.... thanks, everyone! xoxo Alexandra

Does anyone know (or can anyone venture a decent guess) what time Digweed, Cox & Tiesto will probably be spinning in the tent at the Jones Beach show? I went to Area One last year and never left the tent... so amazing! My problem this year is I work on Fridays in the city until 7pm, so I figure I wouldn't get out to Jones Beach until 9:30 or 10pm at the earliest... do you think it's still worth it? All I care about seeing are Digweed, Cox & Tiesto, so will they be on by then? Thanks! xoxo Alexandra

Am I the only Tisch person here? Oh well... Class of 2000, represent! xoxo Alexandra

Glad to hear so many people had a better than expected time at Exit for Ferry Corsten last Friday... hey, maybe someone there read my post! No, seriously, if it went so well, I hope they follow my advice and keep it that way and keep the good DJs coming! xoxo Alexandra
