S P A C E C O W B O Y S

First off, big thanks to everyone who came out to SF Decompression on Sunday. It’s always a great day, and it was amazing to see so many smiling faces, it is why we do this after all. Decompression is always challenging to set-up and to strike. It requires a lot of work, time money and patience on our end, so next time you see your neighborhood Space Cowboy give them a big hug. We don’t get any financial support to do events like Decompression, so we rely on your support at events like GhostShip III: the Armada and the upcoming Global Cool(er) at Chabot Science Center on November 13th to keep on going.

The Global Cool(er) event on November 13th is the gala celebration for the new Bill Nye Climate Lab exhibit, and we’re thrilled to be playing the After Party. We’ll be bringing the Unimog out to show our love of Space and the earth too. 8ball, Brad Robinson, Mancub and Shissla will be throwing down the beats and there are plenty of amazing other things to do at the Chabot. We don’t really know why you would want to do anything but dance, but the exhibits will be open (without screaming kids), there will be movies shown in their enormous mega-dome theatre, and best of all, you can look through their amazing array of telescope on the observation deck. Last time we played there (for the first Bay Area Yuris Night) it was amazing, seeing the stars like that was an experience I won’t soon forget. See below:

We here at the corral are eagerly looking forward to next week’s Decompression!
Its one of our favorite events each year, and those of you who have been before know that the Space Cowboys do it proper!

We’re teamed up with Distrikt this year, and couldn’t be happier about it. The killer line-up starts promptly at noon, with a sure to be amazing set by Zach Moore, who has been hiding for a few months, so I for one am curious to hear what magic he is going to pull out. Zach is followed by some other Cowboy allstars (namely Deckard, Tamo and ShOOey) and then we’re having a little Distrikt day party for a bit, complete with with all the dance floor shenanigans you’ve come to expect. Space Cowboy djs bring to into the night, but sadly the music ends at 10pm; so be sure to get there super early to avoid any lines, and get a full day in. Another reason to get there early, it’s supposed to be 70 degrees and sunny! Good Lord!

Oh and did I mention this will be the debut of Mog 3.0? Yup, our little baby just got major enhancements to its sound system, with new amps and custom 8×21” subs. So not only are we now in stereo but we’ve got over two times as much as much bass…

Ahh, summer! I do love this time of year, no matter how exhausting SF Rocktober can be; but everbody loves the sunshine and it just keeps us begging for more! It’s supposed to be 73 degrees and sunny this Sunday, perfect weather for Decompression! Warm enough for bikinis but too cold for naked guy? (I can dream….) Get it while the getting is good, ‘cause I heard that meteorologist talk about rain next week (though I think they know more about meteors than the weather). The Cowboys will be returning to our 2007 spot under the “overpass”. The Janky Barge, Jimmy Dies of Dysentery, the Disco Limo and Martha will all be there… as will you; ‘cause you just can’t get enough, and tis the season for gettin’ down. Don’t worry, we’ll have enough Space Cowboy and RIPE signs hanging in case you get lost or confused (we often do ourselves, thats why we have so many) The shennanigans start at noon and the sound goes off at ten. My recommendation: get there super early to avoid the crazy long lines. Pack a picnic, go check out the art, and then go get down!

We’re once again happy to team up with our good friends, the House of Lotus and they will be hosting the after-party at Retox Lounge. It’s just 2 blocks away at 628 20th St. @ 3rd. It’s a fundraiser for the Braindrop, that killer art piece by Kate Rodenbush, where we partied with the Mog on Monday night this year on the playa. (I barely remember that night myself.)

You know the music is gonna be tight all day and night, with:

Space Cowboys: Kapt’n Kirk, Mancub, Rrrus, Aaron Jae, Shissla, ShOOey, Deckard, Tamo

House of Lotus: Shissla, Deep Eddy, Neeziak, Beth Murphy

Seismic: Trav
