Chicago, IL -
Back on May 1st, Cocktail held their 7 year anniversary party called "7 Year Itch". Honey, if it's been itching that long, I got the number to the free clinic! It seems that Cherry Red Sundays are no more. The space was way cute with 2 rooms even. However, if you can't afford to pay your DJ's then ya don't have much of a night, do you? Have we ever mentioned how much we love Ms. Foozie? Well, we do. SuperLounge debuted its new boy's night back on May 8th. Mike Serafini opened and Ralphi Rosario then manned the decks. Sadly, they clocked in just over 100 people all night. Do people promote in this city anymore? This could be a fun night kids, especially with Tony Moran coming there on May 22nd so try and keep your eye out for it. Tracy Young had the babes living back on May 10th at Circuit. Sound problems aside, her set was decent. If you weren't at Circuit on the 10th then you were definitely at Smartbar's SUPERJANE DJ Collette Birthday bash. Children of the night report that Smartbar was JUMPIN'! Overheard @ Red Dog: "Don't make me get ugly on you!" "Ugly? What do you call this current face you're making?" Derrick Carter brought the house down at Zentra on May 16th. Wet bodies on the dancefloor drippin' all over MZ Kii Kii made her quite happy.
DRAMA ON THE DANCE FLOOR…..NOT!!! Seems Berlin has been the target of someone's voodoo doll lately. They were pressured into enforcing their "maximum capacity" of 150 people a few weeks back creating a line on the street by 2 a.m. that reached back to Clark's Restaurant. Seems Smartbar, and Big City Tap have also recently been under fire for this too. Problem solved right? Wrong! My vampires tell me that the next week when the club enforced it again, people got fed up of waiting and left, which also left the club empty too. YIKES.
SO MUCH FUN coming up with IML and all! Mz Kii Kii looks good as a dominatrix. Even the suburbs are getting into the act with IML as Sauci Bernaise hit Hunters on May 24th. Then on the 25th of May Miss Bernaise delivers the children her stylings at the Heart's Foundation Hot Tea 3 at Excalibur. Mark Anthony will be providing the ear candy. For queens not into leather, House favorite Tony Humphries will be at Smartbar on May 23rd and re-mixer Mauro Picotto will be playing his heart out at Vision on May 25th. Stop the presses, kids: West Coast House king of all that is ferocious, Miguel Migs, will be at Smartbar on May 30th. Queens, step out of your shells and get over to this one. Miguel known for House, but his music touches all forms of dance music. I'll be taking attendance at this one.
Coming up in the near future: Mark Picciotti and Johnny Fiasco team up on May 31st at Smartbar. House diva Mark Farina plays at Zentra on June 6thAnd WAAAYYYY down the line, Tom Stephan (Superchumbo) will be playing a set at Vision on July 5th. Now if you all will excuse me, it's time for my mud wrap.
