Big thanks to all of you who came out to SnowFest! It was perhaps the best yet. The Mog sounded (and looked) great and so did all of our DJs! Oh, you looked great too! Did I look great? Probably more like exhausted, cause I was, having just too much fun. I think the only time I sat down was on a chairlift. It was great riding with you all and seeing so many smiling faces. It even snowed on our parade, and it only made it better! The only negative experience I had was being forced to pull the plug on Saturday afternoon (....bitches), but y’all quickly resumed the mayhem Saturday night. Mad props all around. Friday night was the biggest (and perhaps craziest) night the Plaza Bar had ever seen (more on that some other time) no small part due to Rrrus, Brad Robinson and Tamo (w/ help from Viajay). Outside at the Lakeside was equally ridiculous (w/ djs J9, Bassben, Rrrus and Brad), especially when you factor in the temperature. The dance-floor inside just didn’t quit either (w/ Aaron Jae, ShOOey, Mancub Shissla and Kapt’n Kirk on the ones and twos).

Thanks to all of our RIPE friends, both non-djs and djs alike who gave a hand one way or another throughout the course of the weekend.

Most importantly, I want to give a special shout out to all the non-DJ Space Cowboys, who rarely get any love, but really deserve a big chunk of the credit. Next time you see them, tell them how much you loved their set, err I mean contribution, and let them know you realize it just couldn’t happen without them. They are the true rock-stars.

I’ve got to go get a massage now, but we’ll see y’all soon!

Damn it’s cold… I thought I moved to California to escape this (or maybe it was just my family I was running from?). Anyway that was a long time ago, and I’ve clearly softened up over the years; at one point I even moved to SoCal in a partial attempt to warm my ailing self… But soon after, I started dearly missing two things: my friends and Tahoe. Luckily I had SnowFest… that special time of year when both converge! I would always make the trip back for it… even when I lived in that terrifying part of our country called the Midwest (cold AND flat; what’s the point?), Always, the last weekend of February or the first weekend of March, this year it falls rather late: Friday, March 5th – Sunday March 7th. Yup that’s right folks I said FRIDAY! If you’ve never been to Squaw for SnowFest Friday, you’ve been missing out. Imagine Squaw weekday empty AND the Mog boomin’ slopeside! Needless to say a huge percentage of the peeps on the hill you actually know… and that’s just heaven, not to mention catching all the Friday afternoon and evening festivities, good tunes with the Mog slopeside, cocktails, fireworks, torchlight parade, some Absolut/Bacardi Babes and always one missing kid with a frantic mom that gets found five minutes after her panic attack climaxes in explicatives yelled at the dj. Then there’s the after-party at the Plaza Bar with the SC djs, SF hipsters, Kiwi lift ops, and those legendary Squaw cougars!!! Saturday day we rock it at Squaw with the Mog all over again. This year we’ll be doing our Annual Saturday night Snow-down again at the Lakeside in Tahoe City… It’s only December, and we’ve still got BoC at Kelly’s and The Space Cowboys Show at the End Up between now and then, but all those reports of snow up there just got me all excited and I wanted to remind you to book your accommodations now! Those who know, know the Cowboys love the snow, so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Happy Holidays from all of us at the Space Cowboys!
