Federal Holiday
My DJ pals and I have been holding down Saturday nights at The Federal for 9 straight weeks without a break...so it's a good thing Oktoberfest has come to relieve us from duty this weekend. If you're into the the bratwurst-and-Weihenstephan thing, Federal Oktoberfest ("Federal Republic of Germany"?) will probably be a fun time with plenty of drunken carousing. As for me, I'd really like to see Mission of Burma at the Cradle...but long ago I agreed to DJ a wedding at Artspace in Raleigh. Which should be really fun in its own right.
Since we aren't DJing at The Federal at all this week, we're going to double up next week to compensate. North Carolina's favorite hip-hop scribe and slanguage artist Dave Tompkins (The Wire, Village Voice, Wax Poetics, Spin, Grand Slam, etc.) is reworking the Triangle this next week...and Dave's ready to drop some science, only in an aural and not written format. Tompkins loves few things more than sitting around and playing his recent vinyl acquisitions for people....so we're going to do exactly that, next Tuesday night (October 19th) at The Federal. Probably starting a little earlier than 10pm since it's a weeknight. Please come out and hear those quad ditties that none of us will probably ever hear again! As always, no cover charge.
On Saturday October 23rd, Todd and I will be DJing a big pre-election pre-Halloween dance party at Hell (more on that later), so Misty Touch will be returning to The Federal to spin selections from her formidable collection of dancehall, ragga, grime, hip-hop, etc. If you're not into the typical Hell dance party madness, consider going out to The Federal to check out a great DJ who we hope to schedule more frequently in the future! Or at least on some Saturday night that I actually have free so that I can go hang out and hear her latest set.

Hi-
I am trying to contact Dave Tompkins regarding an article he wrote about my brother Paul C (McKasty).
If anyone out there knows where I can contact him, please let me know. Thanks you.
