Staple
Simon DK of DIY, newly relocated to San Francisco, spun at Staple. First order of business when I get some money: get whatever Simon DK CDs are available. His deep UK house sound was incredibly beautiful, both mellow and energetic—a sort of abstract, aloof funkiness that comes seeping in quietly and quickly inundates everyone and everything. Wow. I could scarcely believe my ears.
Many of the regulars were there, Dana and her sister, Erin (as usual, behind the camera). I hadn’t officially met Erin before. I gave her and Josh‘s Kirby-vacuum lamps a ride home. The tightly-knit group of people that put on, spin at, and decorate Staple are one big family, apparently. Might be cool to hang out with them sometime away from a room with a large disco ball.
Danced with many pretty people. Particularly Maggie and her friends. Maggie recommended 111 Minna on Wednesday eves. I shall have to check that out soon. Of course Patrick, Gigi, Nicholas, and Patrick’s visiting Vancouver friends were in attendance. A great night of superlative music and an incredible vibe. Can’t wait for next Saturday.
