November so far? Good music, good art, mostly good people - a lot of bad parties.
PAPERMAG PARTY: 24 Bands in 24 Hours at the 24 Hour Department Store.
Good music, bad party.
I made Charlie Rose (right, co-founder of LA Record) Swedish meatballs and brought them to the party. If you're interested in a great recipe for meatball sauce, drop me a message. I also just came up with a great chicken marinade that uses almost the same ingredients - all of which you probably already have in your fridge. I'm thinking of compiling and publishing an online collection of "Recession Recipes".
At the LA Record booth I picked up two great items: A vinyl compilation of California Soul Music Ubiquity Recordings, and an absolutely stunningly beautiful zine called Chillo by artist Mel Kadel.
Find and flip though Chillo here, and please check out her website here.
Low End Theory
Great party every week downtown featuring some of the best DJs nationally.

Gangi plays December 3rd.
Flaunt Your Spirit Animal Party by Flaunt Magazine
Would have been good music - broken up by helicopters 15 seconds into Rainbow Arabia's set.
Awful party.
So, I'm not going to go into all of the ins and outs of my incredible raccoon encounter that occurred after the "party", but I have to at least make brief mention of my experience.
I was of course dressed as a raccoon for the evening and while walking on a dark and quiet street to our car, Lyle and I came across two of the BIGGEST RACCOONS I have ever seen. Instead of running away, they stared at us calmly frozen for minutes. I tried to snap a picture but my flash wasn't working right:
And there's more to this story that makes it all the more strange, but I think that information should stay among the raccoons, Lyle and myself.
Sunday, the 23rd, Gangi and Hecuba play at the record release party for Perfect As Cats: A Tribute to the Cure (available now) at the Echo.
My plane tickets are booked. I will be in DC From December 22 - 28.
