Hello Friendly Person:
First, I'm not here to
remind you to vote. Unless you've been locked in a forgotten
porta-potty somewhere in the back of a deserted warehouse in the most
remote reaches of Kathmandu, you know the election is today, you know
what's at stake, and if you don't vote it's because you made the
conscious and deliberate decision NOT to vote. You probably have a very
good reason, like maybe you're a communist dickhead assclown
terrorist-hugger.
Instead, I'm going to share with you
something scary I thought of this morning -- something that chilled my
blood and made my heart skip a beat the moment it popped in my head.
What if it's all a Rovian ploy? Think about it: Dick Cheney, Barrack
Obama. Have you ever seen the two of them in the same place at the same
time? What if the whole time it's just been Cheney in an Obama suit?
OK, I know it's just a crazy paranoid delusion, but I still can't help
but wonder if Rove didn't considered the idea at least once. Maybe he used a shrinker-ray; miniaturized Cheney and inserted him into
the cockpit of an Obama-bot that he will operate for the next 4 to 8
years. Maybe he develop some kind of evil mind-transfer device, like
Freaky Friday; think of the terror Obama would feel seeing the cruel
and sneering face of Cheney staring back at him in the mirror while the
real Cheney proceeded to dismantle the Constitution from within Obama's
skin. Spooky stuff, huh?
Right, moving on, we've got a couple things to share:
1) Space
Cowboys are on Twitter now. Go to http://twitter.com/space_cowboys
and click "Follow" and we'll follow you back
2) Tonight Aaron Jae's
playing an election night party at Mighty (see below)
3) Friday, we've
got myself and the Seismic crew spinning for you at Shine for the
November installment of Fresh (see below)
4) Thanks to everyone who came to
Ghost Ship -- hopefully it's just the first of an annual event!
xo,
8b
PS: Don't forget to vote! :P
## UPCOMING EVENTS ##
Tuesday, 11/4 - End of An Error @ MIGHTY
It's the elections again, & it's ABOUT TIME!!!!! I know the
majority of you San Franciscans are hoping that soon we'll be living in
an Obama-nation, but I really must say that the last 8 years have truly
been an abomination. So it's time to CELEBRATE! Bush is going out of
office, there's no possible way he can get re-elected regardless of
what happens in Florida, and this sad saga in American history is
finally coming to a close.
Come join us @ Mighty where we'll be broadcasting the election coverage
throughout the club with a soundtrack provided by a bunch of amazing
artists who just can't help but celebrate the fact that there really is
a light at the end of the tunnel, and yes, it's changing colors.
In the back room we'll have some food & snacks as well as a couple
televisions setup in a more relaxing environment so that the more
serious voter can catch all the election info as it comes in.
Outside, Peter (TeacherWiththeBus.com) will be bringing down his
awesome bus with the dance-floor & the Ambient Mafia will be
providing the music, visuals, & who knows what else.
In the main room, music will be provided by a couple SF dj's that you
know, as well as a couple that you probably should know. & we might
even have a special, super secret, can't tell you yet, out-of-town dj
stop in to play, but I guess you'll just have to come to find out.
Mighty (119 Utah @ 15th)
$5 (free b4 11pm w/"Proof that you Voted" (sticker or stub))
9pm - 2am

FRIDAY, 11/7 - FRESH SEISMIC FUNK @ SHINE (hosted by Plump & Juicy Brettocks)
The November Spacecowboy's FRESH features a lineup of recognizable
turntablists ready to unleash the rocksteady rythms of nu skool
funkiest - both straight beat or break beat (or maybe, if you are
lucky, some gay beat). Regardless, this is a lineup to be reckoned
with. After the calamity of Ghostship, bring it all back home to our
monthly FRESH. This is the time to do it - celebrate the beginning of a
new era of Obama. Or, have a dance-off, bringing to the dancefloor some
Palin-esque hockey-mom moves or whatever ails you. You can shave RIPE
into the hairy backsides of our latest SpaceCowboy inductees or just
poke fun at the Spacecowpoke (me!) that is barely holding on to
membership. FRESH @ SHINE is not happening in December, so this is the
time to get down and shake your rump and reconnect with the core posse.
A few siesmologists will be on hand to measure the evening on the
richter scale of funk-tastical tasty-ness.

## NEW MUSIC ##
Aaron Jae Live @ Priceless '08
Aaron says: "I know it's been a long time since I've put a mix online,
so I hope this doesn't disappoint. If you've had a chance to hear me
play in the last year, then you might not be surprised to hear the
style of this mix. But if you've only been listening to mixes you've
downloaded of mine, be prepared for something a bit different than
you're used to. This set was recorded while I was playing at False
Profits "Priceless" campout towards the end of 2008, and since it's an
opening set, it starts out very chill. You might recognize a couple of
the 1st few tracks, but after that the majority of them are fairly new.
I had a ton of fun playing this set & even forgot that I was
recording for a while, so there's a bunch of little tricks, stabs,
& cross-overs. I bet you can't count them all."
