While you do get one more chance today, it’s just not the same, especially if you are on military time.

First off, let me thank you for the incredible music you create.  You are one talented dude, let me tell you.  Killer taste in music as well!

Anyhow, please allow me to get to the meat of this note to you.  See, I will be driving up to Denver for the Mile . . . → Read More: Dear DJ Z-TRIP…]]> Dear DJ Z-TRIP,

First off, let me thank you for the incredible music you create.  You are one talented dude, let me tell you.  Killer taste in music as well!

Anyhow, please allow me to get to the meat of this note to you.  See, I will be driving up to Denver for the Mile High Music Festival from Phoenix and can’t wait to see the incredible lineup it will have to offer.  Of course, one of the acts being you!

But beyond that, I’ll also be seeing RUSH at Red Rocks that following Wednesday night.   That being said, while I know all of your stuff is quite intense and I’m sure you’ve got some goodies up your sleeve for the show already, any chance of a wicked RUSH remix?  You know, just to set the mood for later in the week?

If not man, I totally understand.  Doesn’t hurt to publicly beg right? 

And for those of you without a clue of what I am talking about, here’s a taste of RUSH all Z-TRIPed out as well as others.

Looking forward to August, see ya there!

Of course I still need . . . → Read More: The trip north? It’s getting closer!]]> So as the days get closer, the plan comes together.  VIP passes have been ordered, room booked, and route is being planned currently.  This is going to be a great trip, however, I still need to score that one single ticket to RUSH and I will be all set!

Of course I still need to plan the rest of the trip, but some things just need to be taken care of first.  Honestly, the RUSH ticket should have been first, but oh well, I’m sure it will all work out.

What is this trip north you ask?  Well, pictures are worth a few words anyhow:
Like I said though, I still have some planning to do so I can really make this a trip to remember.  Harry said he wants to come real bad, so I’ll be getting some good pictures I’m sure.

Another certain adventure will be the quest for party favors.  With a pass at some point through New Mexico, I’m liable to find a fun store to explore I imagine.  If you’re wondering what I’m talking about right now, well another term might be fireworks?  Enough on that topic.

At any rate, I hope your week is going well.

No venue is as synonymous with the Tempe music scene as Long Wong’s! Although the original Mill Avenue location that spawned the rise of such 90′s bands as the Gin Blossoms, The Refreshments, Dead Hot Workshop, and The Pistoleros has been razed, the Tempe Firehouse location has taken the baton and now features up and coming local artists – usually without a cover charge!

If you want to caravan with us out there, get at me quick and make some plans because we know how to get there and as such will be pulling out at 7:30 sharp!

The above is more or less for those that have never been before and want to get going just a little later.  I’ll be monitoring simplex at 146.52 MHz if you head out that way.

I talked to Dave and potluck is potluck is potluck.  There are no requests or sign-ups for particular things.  In other words, bring it.  We’ll eat it.

If you’d like further information, drop me a line or comment and I’ll be happy to help.  Sure hope to see you out there!
