so i had to look this up, but tonight is the one-year anniversary of Timeless Tuesdays (my Tuesday weekly) at HandleBar. when i took the gig, my intent was in part to see if i could hold down a dj weekly, solo. no backup no breathers, just me, my records, and a long stretch of night. and after talking with the owner about themes and atmosphere, he asked me what kind of vibe i wanted to create. and i said i wanted to play timeless music, all the dancefloor classics and nightlife anthems that people have forgotten were their favorite songs… even if they didn’t know the songs in the first place. and so TImeless Tuesdays was born, with her maiden voyage on March 8th, one year ago.
it trips me out, realizing that it’s been a full year. i wanted to say something, but i’ve lost my train of thought a bit… it all seems a little crazy to be honest. i am very lucky to be able to do something i love, and that a venue’s management and staff have entrusted me with entertaining people on a weekly basis. or at least providing a soundtrack for slow nights, cold nights, rainy nights, busy nights, bachelorette parties, post-convention cocktails, wwe reality show filmings, holidays from all seasons and all manner of celebrations in between. which have above all taught me one thing: people that go out on a Tuesday… go hard.
so thank you for the support. if you’ve ever dropped by to say hello, stopped in for a drink, closed down the night, or even just hung out for a minute, or even hit “like” on one of my endless dj posts of shameless fb self-promotion… that validation and positive energy means more to me than i could ever adequately express. thank you.
tl;dr–HandleBar Timeless Tuesdays, one-year anniversary? whoa. omg ty.
okay anyway, and now i need to eat, get music ready, and make myself presentable. and you know i’m only going to get one-and-a-half of those things done.
