Please excuse me for the recent not-so-brief interruption in blogging. Kate Miller Events has taken off and I have just been SWAMPED. I've been discovering firsthand what it's like to be a workaholic - thankfully, I will get a break (and hopefully, a vacation) come October. Enough about me, this is about music.

My friend Miguel started DJing as soon as I was out of the scene. I used to head out to the bars 5 to 7 days a week and shake my booty while enjoying many a vodka tonic (or dirty martini). I lived off of the hot dog cart outside of The Press Club - owner Isaac and I were good friends and often I would eat free chili pepperjack cheese dogs. Somehow I was still at my thinnest - must have been all the dancing. Those days have come and gone, but let's just say that I wish I had more time to do so now!

Back to Migs - he's been running this weekly Indie dancefest at a local bar, The Golden Bear, and has recently moved to my previous mainstay, The Press Club. This is not just exciting because of the additional dancing space - but it also happens to be the birthday of one of my other good friends, Sam Sascha (samijam), who will be spinning a special birthday guest set. Come out on September 1st if you can make it!

For those of you who do not live in the Sacramento area, you're welcome to enjoy this recent mix Miguel made in commemoration of their upcoming move. It makes me want to shake it - and it really made the  recently daunting stationery printing process a lot more enjoyable.
