Pumpin' up the Gems

I had a great time DJ'ing at Viceroy last night. At about 5pm, Zac called me to explain the format of the weekly Wednesday. 'Shaken not Stirred' is a night for DJ's to pull out their Gems regardless of genre and play to a chill and trendy crowd chatting on plush couches and an outdoor patio that catches the fragrance of the sea. I pulled out a dusty box of CD's from the far reaches of my closet consisting of about 50 album cases that have made it through high school crushes, college dorm pre-funks and what I call the 'Lilith phase.' Half of them were empty. Somehow I always manage to give all my favorite albums away. I love them so much that I give them away in hopes that everyone else will love them, too. But the ones that remained intact, along with some stunning House records I've obtained in the past 5 years, managed to fit in with the lovely vibe at Viceroy.
