9 Years of Hell
April in Chapel Hill is always a "Hell of a Month". And with that phrase I am referring not to the area's typically awesome springtime weather but rather Hell and its annual month-long anniversary celebration. Among the official 9th Anniversary events coming up over the next few weeks: Super Trivia challenges every Thursday of the month, karaoke on Saturday the 15th 22nd 29th, and Iron Bartender on Sunday the 23rd 16th. Wait a minute, what happened to Malt Liquor Mondays?!?
So there will be much celebrating this month. But since you can only really have one official birthday observation per year, we will formally wish Hell a happy birthday this Saturday night at Disco Inferno. There'll be singing, dancing, spanking, the works....not that those things don't already happen at practically every other Hell dance party, of course!
Joining me behind the mixer this month will be local hip-hop jack-of-all-trades L in Japanese. It doesn't matter whether he's DJing, rapping, making beats, promoting shows, or running lights at the Cradle, L brings mad enthusiasm and energy to all of his pursuits. So I'm psyched to have him stopping in to DJ with me....especially since he's planning on dropping a sweet set of disco-funk/80s groove goodness. As for me, I'll be playing some brand new burners, some older hip-hop, and who knows what else. What's most important here is that we're somehow creeping up on the 9th birthday of Chapel Hill's best basement. Nine years! Come out and celebrate, Hellions!

Yup, that's him.....last I heard he was in Pittsburgh writing and producing plays. Whereas Goodie (on the left) is out in LA doing the Hollywood/movie business thing.

Twombly! Thanks for the shout out - I ditched the "networking" on myspace too - It was killing whats left of my street cred. Good Looking out! Re that pic: the funny thing is that's real blood - we often killed anyone who passed out in the bathrooms. it was just easier.
