Mission Mission

Get some purple drank in your tank this evening at the lovely Beauty Bar with another nostalgic installment of the nineties fueled Big Fun. Tonight 100% Silk recording artist Magic Touch is at the helm while djs Nu-Jack of Jock Jams and Pickpocket of Donuts heat up the place with “house music, booty bass, 90′s r&b, freestyle, ghettotech & more!” Admission is always free and $4 gets you a mystery mix of gin and purple drank. While there’s no guarantee on the potency of the purp stuff, the photobooth pictures in your back pocket will surely jar your memory tomorrow morning.

The always entertaining quest to find horrendous 1995-era websites for local Mission joints yielded some surprising results when clicking on Mission Hill Saloon. Instead of a link to their website (which presumably doesn’t exist) I was offered an amazing deal at Mission Hills Dongguan, a mere 10,000 km away!

Rad tunes and flicks tonight at the free monthly Beards of a Feather DJ and film nite at Laszlo:

Beards is back tonight with special guests, Damon Palermo (aka Magic Touch on 100% Silk) and Ben (aka Roche on Solos)! We will be playing records all night long (house/disco/funk/italo/cosmic/balearic) at Laszlo for those of you who failed to successfully rage through the entire weekend and for those of you who would like to decompress to some rad music and films.

Details are the usual, music from 9-2 and you can order food from Foreign Cinema until 10pm. No cover. Come hang.

Special DJ guests:
Magic Touch (100% Silk)
Roche (Solos)

Screening:
Hours and hours of “The New Dance Show” purchased at the legendary Buy-Rite music in Detoit & the epic documentary Koyaanisqatsi
