Wednesdays in the SCO

Ahh yes, Wednesday, normally a day that I reserve for doing nothing, but this Wednesday was packed to the brim, excitement written, crap in your pants, jerk off Spongebob Squarepants fun.

I shall let the pictures do the talking, well, actually I'll be talking after every picture...same shit...

So my evening started with going to a meet and greet with up and coming recording artist Jessi Malay at Impala lounge. Never heard of her? Me neither, but I wanted to go because I heard there was going to be free food and open bar...

I got to Impala a little early so I decided to take some pictures of this beautiful city that I call home...

I parked like 6 blocks away from Impala, and even though I go to that place every Friday night, the walk looked a lot different during the day, so I walked up Vallejo and perched at the top of Vallejo and Montgomery...


This is a view continuing up Vallejo, it looks like the fuckin Hanging Gardens of Babylon, not that I've ever seen the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, but I would think that this is what it looked like.


A view from the top...


The financial district...

So after the artsy side of me was done, I decided to head over to Impala to meet this artist. So the email I got said that the thing started at 5pm, so I get there at like 5:10, because I didn't want to look like the first loser there, turns out...I WAS the first loser there. Everyone else, all the other DJs/mixers/on-air personalities didn't come until like 6 or 6:30, so for a good hour I was just chillin and taking advantage of the open bar.

So at 6:30 everyone's there, even The Federation came by because they're on the same record label as this girl. So 7:30 rolls around and this girl Jessi Malay still isn't here (the event is supposedly supposed to end at 8pm). So now people are starting to leave because they figure this was all one big ruse. So I decided to leave too with another one of the mixers, and guess who we see comin down the block as we're leaving...

Ms. Jessi Malay, she's not only hot but super sweet and down to Earth. She was trying to get me and the other dj to stay so we could all drink together, but sadly, we had to be on our way. If you get a chance, check out her single, its called Booty Bangs ft. Yung Joc.

So after that I went back to the radio station to just kill some time before I went over to the Hennessey tasting party at slide. I was taking some action shots in the mix room with J.Espinosa's records...ahaha

Nothing's even playing...


If you look closely enough, there's not even a needle on that cartridge.

So after all that hub-bub I headed over to Slide for the Hennessey tasting party. DJ 5ive from Tao, Las Vegas was spinning, and Chrisette Michelle was performing. If ya'll never heard of her either, wikipedia her, she's on a lot of songs, and has a hot album.

So I was trying to take a crowd shot, but me being the short Asian dude I am, and Marty being the big white guy that he is, I kept getting his head in the picture. So finally I said, aiight, Marty, duck down real quick so I can get this crowd shot, but even when he ducked down and I held my camera as high up as I could, I still got his head in the picture...it looks like someone pushed him and he's slowly falling over.


This is Chris Clouse and DJ Solomon. They perform at Slide every Wednesday, they tout themselves as a "Live Mashup Band". I really didn't understand why they call themselves that, but they're pretty good none the less....


This is Def Jam recording artist Chrisette Michelle. She's been on tracks with Nas and Jay-Z, but she got her own album where she really shines. She's like a more soulful Alicia Keys. There was one point where she called me her boyfriend and pulled me up to dance with her while she sang to me. As Travis said it, I felt like a little pre-teen white girl at a Justin Timberlake concert...


I think its funny when Marty dances, not that he dances funny, just the concept of Marty dancing is funny, so I had to take a picture.

So the the Hennessey tasting party turned into a Hennessey drinking party and by the end of the night I was pretty hammered. I drunk called Travis when I was driving and he gave me like 5 minutes of his time and then said, "Dude, I gotta go to sleep". And then the morning after he was trippin out because he talked to Wesley and Wesley said he had a dream about me getting into a car accident...Not your typical Wednesday night, but man, I would do that every Wednesday if I could...hella fun.



Holla back, holla front...
