Thirty Day LA

So, along with my friend, Mr. Voisin, and company, we ventured off to Morena Club, off of Morena Blvd, in Point Loma for some drinks, music, and hopefully, something new. Well, San Diego, aren’t you full of surprises?
The crowd was not the typical crowd I was hoping to avoid. It was very “chex”. (A great party mix but very much something to relax with) The crowd fluctuated in size with each song being mixed.
We caught Existence 76, mixing mostly old school stuff… Definitely had people singing along to a lot of pretty good songs. Dj Ocean came up and was quite the surprise. It was announced that we were about to be aurally pleasured by the reggae mixing of Dj Ocean. Of course, most of us had an image of what the dude would look like. Totally rockin the reggae look and everything.
Don’t deny it! Everybody does this. Actually, it’s one of my favorite things to do while people watching…to figure out what people’s names are based on their looks. Everybody has a friend who just looks like a “Wayne” or “Michael” or “Dexter.” When someone yells for someone behind you and says, “Heather!” I’m sure you expect the epitome of So-Cal (a plastic-fantastic-low-carb-tanned-twig) Anyway, if I were to rename myself, I’ve always liked the name “Minerva.” I’m not sure if I look like a Minerva but I sure do feel like it sometimes. In my mind, Minerva is someone who’s a little quirky but not dangerously weird to the point you wouldn’t want to be stuck alone in an elevator with. Minerva also sounds cool. Artistic. Oh yeah! I can’t imagine ever hearing :

Dude 1:”Yeah, it was in my truck the entire time.”
Dude 2: “Oh shit, here comes Minerva”
Dude 1: “Damn, let’s go.”

Yeah, no, that name is way to awesome.
Sorry, back to what I was saying earlier, Dj Ocean was a short, cute chick and she was pretty good but hands down, my favorite dj of the night was Dj Earwax, spinning the odd combinations of songs that just worked. Who knew Hall & Oates and Journey could be mixed into songs with a dope ass beat? I’ll tell you who: Dj Earwax. If he mixed Air Supply in there, I would have popped out 3 kids! (Air Supply: you ARE the soundtrack of my life!) Something about live performances, you’re appreciating it in the moment. Damn sweet.
Needless to say, my musical cravings were satiated that night. With that being said, I was surprised that one beer did me in (to a nice buzz.)
The chill nightlife was what I was looking for. Have to admit, I wasn’t sure at first, but overall, it was a nice one.

Always,
