Please take another shot of your painting in a different setting. That bed is just too distracting - it looks so comfy and inviting and makes me wonder who could be in it... the girl you painted hopefully

Hey, Ghost:

Lola, I think that to be perfectly fair, Dave should apologize to you. If he edits posts here, then you shouldn't be the only moderator listed for this forum. So immature of him to hide behind a girl's behind... regardless of how hot the aforementioned behind is Having said that, I understand how deeply hurt you must feel by my wrongful accusation. If you were in New York, I would immediately rush over, in person, to make you feel better (in every imaginable way ). Unfortunately mid-afternoon traffic in Manhattan makes it impossible to get to JFK and catch a flight to MIA in time before you sink into depression over this teeny-tiny misunderstanding. Therefore the best I can do is hope that you cyber-accept the below as a token of sincere admiration and best wishes:

Amanda, I am also curious: why did you decide to have a baby at 21? My friends who've had children tell me that life pretty much ends. What they mean is that a child takes most of your time and most of your money. In my native Russia young people had children because there was nothing else to do. But in the US when you're unattached there is so much you can do like study for advanced degrees, make bold career moves, travel, buy luxuries for yourself, meet different interesting people and have sex with them, enjoy your hobbies (like clubbing)... Why would you give that all up so young?

Lola, as much as I appreciate the great size of your... I meant, the great job you're doing as a moderator, you overmoderated here. I agree with you that a newbie would've probably been offended by what His-Member-Has-No-Name wrote, but at the same time newbies usually fall for his requests to post pictures. Therefore because of what you did CP Doggs, myself included, were denied our rightful viewing pleasures. Do make it up for us and post more of your delicious bra shots. Preferrably without a bra

Henrik, your chances of becoming a New York house music legend have nothing at all to do with your skills. Look at our Pacha club: whenever local DJs are spinning, they are either playing to a completely empty floor or a club half-full of drugged up Asians who don't speak English. Even though the music's always very good. If you really want to make it here, you need to address the biggest problem house music in NYC faces today: that there are very few girls at house parties. If you can manage to pack a club full of hot girls - you'll be famous. That's how JP and Boris made it So I suggest you lease one of those new super-jumbo 380 series Airbuses, pack it full of Dutch women (make sure everyone is tall, slim, blonde, 34C or bigger with cute butts) and fly right over. And I hope they give you residency @ Spirit, 'cuz it's a fucking shame that the best big room club with a kick ass sound system like they have goes to such a waste. Besides - that would show Made Events - there are never girls at their parties

I don't care if a DJ plays one style or various styles as long as the mix flows nicely. Although to me it seems easier for DJs to create and maintain a really great vibe for many hours if they stick to one style. The best vibe that I've ever witnessed were at single-style parties: Boris @ Crobar and Armin @ Spirit. Although Boris plays almost entirely tribal - it's by no means a boring journey. Playing various styles is difficult, and your long-time favorite Tedd Patterson is the best example. The first time I heard him - he was amazing, but last Saturday he was so-so. On that note, if Teddy keeps deteriorating and Willie Graff continues his Electro experiments, they'd take Cielo down with them and that would suck!

Which other NYC venues does Boris play at? His Show gigs are on Sundays, and for most people who work, going out on Sundays is too much. I heard Boris @ Sandbar, though; and I plan to hear him @ Emerald City in Phila. Although I think that most people DO know that they will be entertained by Boris, Crobar is the safest choice on a Saturday night in case nothing else special is happening. What else is there: Pacha might be empty, Cielo residents are turning Electro, who knows what happens everywhere else... Meanwhile at Crobar you are guaranteed good music and excellent vibe. I thought you were all for NYC DJs? You are definitely missing on the best one. And, even though you prefer the up- and coming-ones, please don't hold a man's success against him!

One reason to go through the whole interview is to see what questions they ask, so that you can prepare answers to those in case you get asked them at a place you do want to work. But there's nothing wrong with politely thanking them and walking out either. Alternatively you can pretend that you got sick. It happened to one guy I was asked to interview... For the first 10 minutes he passionately went off about how much he hated his job and how he hated everyone he worked with. After that I told him that I was going to ask him a few technical questions. He looked at me in horror and warned that he gets very nervous on interviews. Since I had to do what my boss asked me to do - I proceeded at my own risk. As soon as I asked the first question, the guy turned very pale, half-closed his eyes and started to slide off the chair. So he sits across from me shaking and then starts telling me that he had food poisoning yesterday from Burger King. Then I told him to go home, and he started pleading how he didn't want to lose this opportunity. After he tried to drop on his knees and cry, I promised him that we'll reschedule, and he walked out grabbing on to walls and breathing heavily.

Whaw, man, look at those: Well, now, since you put it... I mean "them", this way, Max will be more than a personal tour guide! Here, Lola, will you...?

:love2:

I only look at DJs sites to check out the music, so I can't say much about features and design. But as far as the music goes: 1. I stand by my opinion that the track selection on the "Twisted Tribal" set is perfect. However the EQ doesn't sound quite right, I think there's not enough highs. When I listened to it in my car, it felt like my ears were clogged. 2. The "Bleeker/Third" mix is very good - lots of energy and excellent track selection too. 3. The Electro mix... OK, so I managed not to throw up; but that's not pure Electro, that's Electro house with as little Electro as it was possible. Actually my Electro house tolerance increased: I almost enjoyed what Willie Graff played @ Cielo on May 19th. 4. "Dancing in the Darkness" must go - it's way too old and very annoying. Have something else play at start-up and make sure it's not "Dibiza". First track from the "Twisted Tribal" set might do nicely. Good job overall, keep it up!

Well, Gabe, I think you made your point - this Keith Blackstone set is pretty far from deephouse. But to me this set sounded very monotonous, some tracks were very old (especially the one that was on Webster Hall CD 1) and way too much Dibiza. The quality sucked too: even though I understand this was a live set, it's as if it was recorded by someone who held a mic close to a speaker.

Frosty, I disagree: development doesn't have to blow, it can be enjoyable. Whether you'd enjoy Project Management depends on the power structure in your organization and the perception of what delivers real value: hands-on IT or professional management. Sticking to the original question though: NYU School of Continuing Education used to put up loads of ads in the subway about how they have more classes than you can handle on more subjects than you can imagine. I looked at their website at http://scps.nyu.edu/departments/course_listing.jsp?deptId=16 , and they do have a huge selection of classes, including php programming and ASP.net (which, personally, I think is the future). I don't know how much better would it be than just reading books on those subjects, but I suppose at least you can meet people who share your interests at a brand name institution.

After hearing David Morales there on Saturday, I voted for Crobar. I agree with everyone who said that Pacha is a nicer space with a much better sound system. I also really hate that you can barely dance in the main room @ Crobar because there are idiots walking pointlessly across the dance floor all the time pushing people aside, and those include bouncers too. However it feels like all good things about Pacha go to waste because it is often empty or full of ugly crowd. I think that if Pacha books DJs who can bring in numbers, then we'll see the same diverse crowd there as @ Crobar, and then Pacha would easily beat Crobar in every respect. Until then - Crobar wins.
