Shake Appeal - on some next.

We have officially parted ways with The Beauty Bar (good riddance to bad trash) and our next Shake Appeal is going to be MAJOR. It's at an all new location for this time only, and I can't say where right now because the owner is very sensi with this shit, but just think back to the good old golden era of the rave.... let's say 1992... and imagine where you would find yourself, high on cheap acid, with your face being melted off by 10 bass bins. Yes, THAT is where Shake Appeal is going to be.

And just the icing on the cake... a special set by (thee) Mike B of LAX and Banana Split (L.A.). If you haven't heard what this guy is doing, it's time to wake from the nap. Great mixtapes, great remixes, great edits, and he is actually a great dj on top of it all. No sneakers in the dryer here, unlike some.



I mean, come on! He's about as cuddly looking as a goddamn Koala. Really.

Presale tickets will be on sale at 5 & A Dime for $5. $3 tickets available for a limited time exclusively through our email RSVP - shakeappealrsvp@gmail.com. And it will be $7 the night of the event.

Doors open at 11pm and close ???

This dude is a good producer. I've never seen him perform, but this Thursday he's playing at Universal... the new "gay/not gay" bar in Hillcrest.

CAKE APPEAL

This Saturday is our last Shake Appeal at the bedraggled and besotted Beauty Bar. Good riddance to bad trash is what I say. It will also be Ikah's birthday party. He is going to be 23. Congratulations.

So, Ikah came up with this idea that he wanted a huge birthday cake with a chickenhead popping out of it. My neighbor happens to be a carpenter, so we got dude to make the wooden body of it. It has been my duty over the week past to make it look like a cake and not a woodgrain Devo helmet. Kind of a pain in the neck, but it's done and the fucker looks good. If I do say so myself. So here's a flick. I'm thinking about making this my profession.

Shake Appeal is better than bad.

We just added a new name to the line up for this coming Shake Appeal, Skull Kontrol's own Mario Orduno. Come early to hear the punk, rap, and soul records you wish you had.

Photographic images from last Saturday's Shake Appeal (01/12/08).

Ryan just threw a hissy fit, so I must mention that he took these photos. What a goddamned little girl. Anyway, he also wanted me to mention that he blew up most of the balloons. Now that we have that out of the way, proceed. Oh, one more thing... Ryan Wase is such a little girl.

Welcome. What a good little decorator Ikah is.

I loooove playing to an empty room.

UNHOLY BLACK METAL HATRED 666

Preparing to freak.

Nice color scheme here.

Boys will be boys will be boys...

Ryan swears he's gangster.

Mark and Kristen are pretty alright.

Jen is working it hard, Sarah is doing the Statue of Liberty, and I'm just a goddamned goofball.

Ryan swears he's straight.

Again with this working it hard thing. Jeez Louise.

Bubble machine is where it's at.

Observe my balloon skills. I would have mentioned the streamers too, but Ikah ruined my scheme.

Hotlesbian trio? Yes.

Work, work, work.

Uh... I dunno. My hair? What the fuck.

I had no idea Mark E. Quark and Mr. Travis "T.K." Disco were so close.

What a dear Joe is.

And Mark too.

Alona and Travis came all the way from SF and LA, respectively. Thanks!

These pesky hotlesbians again! Peace be with you.

It's that time again...

We have a very special guest next Saturday for the third installment of Shake Appeal at the Beauty Bar: Ryan Poulsen of Booty Bassment SF and Gun Club. RSVP for guestlist privileges.

The New Event By The Booty Bassment

If you didn't make it to the premiere last month, you missed out. But never fret, my child, because there is always a second chance. The next Shake Appeal is December 8, MMVII at the world renowned Beauty bar in San Diego. Me and Ikah all night.
