All Things Chill

Victor’s 1959 Cafe. Bright and playful, the quaint restaurant had a lot of what Cuba was and is. It was a DL reunion: Nate (DJ Hard Drive), Brian (Odogg), Jorge (The Curious J), Santiago (Boogie Down) and Herschell (Me / Special*Dark) just shot the shit and caught up on a lot of [...]

Nate and Timmy had a gig @ Fahrenheit yesterday and Odogg, Jorge and I posed as roadies to get in the door came along to hang out.
Nate and Timmy threw down some really dope funk, and even managed to squeeze some 80’s POISON up in the mixset. I had a horn to play, so [...]

Original poll post here. Thanks for a great response this time around. A lot of people were optimistic about the next ten years (YAY). Also, thanks for the guest created responses. They weren’t half bad. I’ll be leaving the poll up for now, I just wanted to get everything tabulated [...]

I’m going to Minneapolis tomorrow with Jorge *swoon* to meet up with Odogg & Nate (Dj Hard Drive) and company. There’s no doubt that all of us will be reppin’ the DOGGLOUNGE like crazy. DL is huge in that area, so we might actually sign some autographs and and take some celebrity pictures. [...]

I’m crossing my fingers for a 2-day turnaround for a new one before I take a flight to my New Year’s Eve destination on Thursday afternoon. Or… I might just f*ck-all and get a 30GB video iPod. OMG sseeexxxyyyyy. I’m so torn. ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I love to hate to love to hate (to [...]

I just had a dream that I was stuck in a mall’s food court, trying to find a bowl of fresh fruit for a friend. All I had were twenty dollar bills, and no one had change for me. I really wanted to get back to my house because my friend was sick, [...]

After work (that’s funny), I had a quick stop over @ Rhoda’s place to eat join in on their holiday festivities. Wicker Park looks so pretty at night. There was a lot of activity on the streets and there were a lot of people drinking in the nearby bars. I guess I’m [...]

I believe in spices. I believe in flavorful hot sauces. I believe in hearty dirty rice. I believe in corn on the cob spread with a little mayonnaise & cayenne pepper. I believe in hot flakey biscuits with lots of honey and butter. I believe in BBQ beans mixed [...]

In the (beep) time it took me to draw this (beep) picture and write this post, I could have already (beep) changed the battery in my fire alarm so (beep) that it would stop this constant beeping. Dammit! Seriously tho, it’s annoying for a reason. Be safe and change the batteries in [...]
