Thank you for all your support and love!

Last January, Josh approached me with the idea of doing a weekly Thursday night at the Beauty Bar. Prior to that, I dj'd Friday happy hour there during the party Errrly! which was really successful. I hadn't dj'd a weekly for a long time in SF - since probably the days of Fanclub at the LiPo Lounge in Chinatown with Jason, Trinity, and Tee. I was a little apprehensive, but after consulting a few close friends, I decided to go for it.

For those who don't know, Jessica came up with the name, Noel came up with the logo and initial flyer - Micke with the subsequent flyers. I brought in Raul, and later Ari, to be the regular djs along with me. We did our first gig on Feb.19, 2009. Omar guest dj'd and it was a great success due in large part to the support of our friends and the great staff at the Beauty Bar - Josh, Lee, David, Candice, Matt, Bama, and Aaron.

Over the past year our success was also aided by the MANY guest djs' who have been so kind to share their music with us both here and at Errrly!. Eug, The Selecter Dj Kirk, Anthony Gordon, Dusty DiMercurio, Liz Baca, Rob Matus, Doug Martsch, Paul Allen, Green Figueroa, Amedee Ito, Greg Morantz, Noel Tolentino, Alex Restrepo, Stacy Rodgers, Kylee Swenson, Bootsy Harput, Micke Tong, Matt Stout, Dan Phifer, Helen Jordan, Blue Figueroa, Nathalie Roland, Jessica Gruner, Bryan Ranere, Johnny Landmine, and Michael Caputo. Et cetera, etc. (My apologies if I misspelled your name, I'm frantically trying to get this out.)

THANK YOU!

Sometimes I should check the mail


although i write more letters in one week than most people write in a year, i never expect to get mail.  SR texted me that i should probably check our mail, and to my awesome surprise there was an envelope addressed to me from daniel st. george.  he knows me all too well.  he sent me a bunch of bath stuff.  RAD!  -Ts

Dear friends,

I am still excited about the new year but I am even more excited to dj this
Thursday in celebration of all our beloved Aquarian friends!  Aquarius is my
most compatible sign, so it's no wonder I have so many around me - Blue,
Green, Sheila, Ken, Noe, Fidel, and so many more.  I love you all!

Xoxo
Dj Oddz

Dear friends,

Once again, you've shown that rain won't get you down.  Thanks for coming out to support Rob aka Vinyl Richie at his L/S debut last week.  You danced and danced some more and that always makes us happy.  His sets were filled with forgotten classics, underplayed genres, and little bit of humor.  Great job!

As most of you know, we've been working hard on LIFE/STYLE's 1 Year Anniversary Party.  I'm really proud of what we've accomplished over the past year.  With very little publicity except for this email and facebook, and us placing a flyer in your hand, our success has really been one fueled by a love of music and you guys showing up and spreading the word.  It's very humbling for me to think about.  We've had lots of guest djs - most of them first timers - guests that just love music and have lovingly shared their selections with us.  That's one of the things that makes our party truly unique.

Here's a quick preview of next week's blowout on Feb. 18: Eug, Kirk, Greg, and Amedee guest dj...  Jessica is making caramel corn...  Josh and Bama have come up with a couple of free drink specials.  Something vodka based and possibly champagne...  Candice will probably be in the house giving manicures...  Decorations + balloon drop at midnight...  The Life/Style Crew dressed to the 9's and kicking out the jams!  It's gonna be special, and I hope you can make it out.  Look sharp!  Try and come early for the free drink specials and the sweet treats.  We start at 9pm.  If you haven't RSVP'd yet, please do so HERE.  This will help us with any last minute planning.

Next week, I''ve got a little write up about L/S' history and thank you list for everyone that has made L/S possible.  Thank you once again.  Now...

Let's practice by celebrating our Aquarian friends' birthdays on Thursday with Ari dj-ing.  It's always amazing to hear her selections, and it will be doubly amazing to celebrate our awesome friends' birthdays. 

See you soon.

ps. Susan, I'm excited to see you!  Welcome back to SF!
