[amitai]

[amitai]

[imabagel]

[RAMIRO]

whats new

[amitai]

lol

[badkitty3804]

Are you guys going to get Satori as drunk as you got me?

If so, you may want to start putting disclaimers on your flyers.

[RAMIRO]

heeeeeeeeeyyyyyy no one got me drunk! :(
:sadpanda:







then again that woudl cost and arm and a leg:D

[imabagel]

did u ever find your supermug Ramiro?

[stormryder]

Are you guys going to get Satori as drunk as you got me?

If so, you may want to start putting disclaimers on your flyers.

We waited until you were done playing to get you hammered.

Which if you think about it, is probably why you got so damn hammered....howevermanythefuck drinks you got compressed into a 2 1/2 hour period.

Anyways, I'm not sure I'd describe minimal techno as "downtempo" but whatever. It'll rock, beeps, clicks and all. Oh, and I got a load of stuff off Oink right before it was shut down for this too ;)

[badkitty3804]

My brain has blocked out the official count.

[stormryder]

My brain has blocked out the official count.

Ya mean your brain was down for the count.

[Dainbramage]

reminder: now BEYOND this week.

Now Beyond? Are you introducing it to someone?

[badkitty3804]

That too.

Or was possibly slightly dented while taking out the lamp, or as I was told, smashing my head into a table.

[stormryder]

Neither the table nor you looked too upset afterwards. I can't vouch for the lamp.

[amitai]

I'm pretty sure Sean gets drunk by default at Beyond. :neener:

[amitai]

Now Beyond? Are you introducing it to someone?
uggggh

NO BEYOND. NO NO NO.

I'm going to watch scary movies and then go to Five.

[badkitty3804]

I'm pretty sure Sean gets drunk by default at Beyond. :neener:

Good point.

[stormryder]

That's not strictly limited to Beyond.

Trust me.

[badkitty3804]

No.

I NEVER see you drink outside of Beyond.

:whoa:

[stormryder]

Actually...I doubt any of you have ever seen me drunk.

And by drunk I mean "Sean Drunk™"

'tis a good thing really :D

[badkitty3804]

hahahahhahhahahahha.

I think I have.

Do you remember Pre-Fix? And yelling at me for like 10 minutes?

[stormryder]

Yes.

Hence the fact that I wasn't quite yet Sean Drunk™

;)

[amitai]

I'm pretty sure I've seen "Sean Drunk" drunk.

If what I saw was not that.... then may God help us all.

[badkitty3804]

Hrm.

I know that I have HAD to of seen you Sean Drunk™.

[badkitty3804]

If what I saw was not that.... then may God help us all.

Ditto.

I've seen the man PRETTY DAMN DRUNK.

:bananarider:

[stormryder]

Pretty damn drunk is a subset of Sean Drunk™.

Sean Drunk™ usually involves me falling down concrete stairs, taking a couple of other people out along with me and getting a concussion. Hence the fact that I don't get Sean Drunk™ anymore.

Come to think of it, Sean Drunk™ is pretty damn close to being Emily Drunk™.

[badkitty3804]

oh neato!

We're Drunken Twinsies!

[stormryder]

Except I don't bite.

Much.

[badkitty3804]

Everyone knows in advance that I bite though.

If I actually bite you, it's your own fault.

[stormryder]

Well...as long as everybody knows in advance to let me go down the stairs first, we're all set :D

[badkitty3804]

Consider it done!

[stormryder]

"Clear the way....drunk guy rolling through!"

Thump thump thump!

[amitai]

Everyone knows in advance that I bite though.

If I actually bite you, it's your own fault.
hahaha

"All right, pie, I'm just going to do this.... And if you get eaten, it's your own fault!"

[badkitty3804]

:hifive:

"I'm going to go like this...and if you get hit, it's your own fault."

"Fine, I'm gonna start kicking air like this and if any part of you should fill that air, it's your own fault."

[amitai]

:)

[stormryder]

I have so many tracks to burn tomorrow it's silly.

On the plus side, my CDJ-1000's get here on Tuesday ;)

[imabagel]

"Clear the way....drunk guy rolling through!"

Thump thump thump!


ah, my little drunk ball of fury ....

[RAMIRO]

Everyone knows in advance that I bite though.

If I actually bite you, it's your own fault.


LIIIIIIIIIEEESS!!!!!

i never asked to be bitten.. nor did know you were a bitter..

being n teh wrong place at the wrong drunken time around the drunken badkitty is NOT my fault ..

soo :neener:

[amitai]

Sean are you bringing your CDJs?

[DJ Psymon]

I think I am going to have to come check this out before Ultra Bar next week... Freeform in the house!

[stormryder]

Sean are you bringing your CDJs?

If they indeed get here in time I was considering it. I don't mind using the ones you have (a 100 and a denon something or other right?) but I hate having to learn new shit on the fly.

[amitai]

yeah
you can use mine but I def recommend the 1000s obviously.

[amitai]

this week we come back after a week vacation!

[amitai]

THIS WEEK

[badkitty3804]

God I'm craving some skewer's food.

[stormryder]

Lots of fresh new music in store.

It'll be like a game of limbo......how low (minimal) can I go?

[DJ Psymon]

I'll definitely be out to check this out!

[amitai]

nice :D

[stormryder]

(Yawn)

I actually stayed up last night making all my CD labels. I woke up this morning and my computer was STILL downloading all the shit I bought this weekend.

FYI, Beatport's new download utility rocks out. It lists everything about the track (label, release date, release name, catalog #, track length, etc.)

[amitai]

it's been a long time since I used beatport. I really really hate their web site. I remember hitting "back" accidentally and fucking everything up. aaaaaah.
whatever!

[stormryder]

Version 3.0 of their website is pretty tight (it's all in Flash). You can go off on tangents real easily, yet get back to what you were doing just by clicking the forward/back buttons in the Flash site. Clicking the browser back and forward buttons isn't recommended.

I use Beatport, Juno and about 4 other websites normally. I'd easily say that Beatport and Juno have everybody else beat for quality of their releases though.

[amitai]

I don't like that it's all flash though...

[amitai]

[stormryder]

Isn't iTunes all flash for the most part?

[amitai]

Is it? Even if it is, with itunes there is at least a way to direct link to something (I think). AFAIK there is no way to link to a specific track in Beatport... but I might be wrong.

[stormryder]

You can link to tracks on Beatport. I know quite a few artists that embed the interface on their MySpace pages leading directly to their songs, etc.

[amitai]

ok, so say I want to send you to the page for "Hunter" by Martin Buttrich. How do I do that?

[stormryder]

Click on "email" link at the bottom of the release, enter the email addresses and shoot. Linking on a web page is a little more complex because you have to link to the label, not the specific release. So linking older tracks can be a pain in the ass.

They're fixing that with 4.0 BTW.

[amitai]

Linking on a web page is a little more complex because you have to link to the label, not the specific release.

see that's weak.

I still use beatport I just hate the interface. that is just one example.

[stormryder]

Ahh....easy enough:

Link:

https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/79594

Just substitute the release # for whatever you want to point to on Beatport and it takes you straight there.

[imabagel]

everytime i hear the word Beatport, i think of a loading dock with a bunch guys beating off.


or beets.



heh.


yea

or maybe even a dock where people get beat up.

[amitai]

Ahh....easy enough:

oh nice!!

I learned something new.

[amitai]

[amitai]

falafelfalafelfalafelfalafelfalafelfalafelbeerfalafel!
qft

[stormryder]

I am in love with my CDJ's. I thought everyone should know this in case you see me with my arm around them, or tickling one when I think you aren't paying attention.

[badkitty3804]

If you start unzipping your pants...I'm leaving.

Or at least drinking another beer and moving further from the DJ booth.

[stormryder]

Whatever....I so know what you do with your falafals...

[badkitty3804]

CRUSH THE BALLS!

[ricke]

oh nice! were you at sleaze last week? did I talk to you there?

yea man. I went dressed up as Simon.

[amitai]

lol

ps my opening dj can't make it, if anyone wants to throw down at 630pm or at 930pm let me know...

[stormryder]

I shall be arriving between 6:30 and 7:30 most likely and can do extended if it helps.

[badkitty3804]

I'll probably be there around 7-7:30.

Gotta get some food in me before the drinks. Don't want to traumatize the poor bartender again.

[amitai]

I shall be arriving between 6:30 and 7:30 most likely and can do extended if it helps.

cool.
if I can't find anyone I will just do both sets and you can take as much of my time as you want. we'll see what's up.

[ricke]

so what are the set times?

[stormryder]

I'll probably be there around 7-7:30.

Gotta get some food in me before the drinks. Don't want to traumatize the poor bartender again.

The only thing you really traumatized was Dean and your head.

[amitai]

here are the set times

DAN AMITAI 630-8PM
DJ SATORI 8-930PM
BEATCARNIVAL 930-11PM

[amitai]

last night was a lot of fun! thank you to satori for playing and bringing the cdjs, and than you to beatcarnival for stepping in at the last minute. a lot of ppl got drunk.

next week's a good one... minimal techno by STAS and dubstep by SABERTOOTH.

[stormryder]

Sweet...more minimal and I don't have to play it.

That means more beer drinking for me!

;)

[badkitty3804]

The only thing you really traumatized was Dean and your head.

Sweet.

No real harm then.
