The weekend is upon us…

Campers, this 4 parties in a weekend thing has got to stop! (at least for this weekend ;) )

I’m not complaining, but the last run just about got me! *snicker*

Fortunately, I got some awfully tasty pics out of the deal…

Let’s recap that week:

02DEC08:
Party: FUNKY JUNKIE
Venue: Winston Kingdom

Straight up awesome tunage with a great Tuesday night crowd in the freshly refurbished Winston Kingdom. It started late, but no one seemed to mind too much! I love the live music/DJ thing and the FUNKY JUNKIE crew does a great job! (1st Tuesday of each month)

05DEC08:
Party: HOTMIX
Venue: Sugar Factory

A brand-new party from the folks that brought us fatblackpussycat last year. A selection of my shots from that party were on the video screens all night long. (Which was pretty cool!) The music was generally good and the crowd was great! There was a big group of kids from Chicago there that night too! (Homies!)

06DEC08:
Wicked Jazz Sounds:
The hottest party from Amsterdam, in Utrecht at TIVOLI!
In Concert: The Wicked Jazz Sounds Band
Featuring: DJs Phil Horneman & Leroy Rey
Party: Wicked Jazz Sounds
Venue: TIVOLI Utrecht

It was my second party in Utrecht in less than a month and the place is starting to grow on me… It was a Wicked Jazz Sounds “Away Game” and your raconteur was there to provide a bit of coverage! As you can see above, it was a Wicked Jazz Sounds Band gig and they were TERRIFIC! (Yes, I’m biased, but I’m still right!) Phil and Leroy manned the decks after and kept the full house (!) RAWKIN! I met so many nice folks and shot them… (with the camera, of course!) Thanks for the great time, y’all!!!

My favourite shot of the night:

We ALL know how I feel about redheads, right?!?

07DEC08:
SubTone: B-Day Edition!
Urvinson and Carlito (Brothers In Harmony) with Mike Barron, first Sunday night of each month at Canvas in the the Volkskrant bldg. on wiebautstraat. (Next edition: 04JAN09)

Party: SubTone
Venue: Canvas

It was only the second edition of SubTone and it was great! Urvin and Carlito celebrated their birthday with us (with yummy cakes from the kitchen at Canvas!) and everybody had a BLAST! Canvas is rapidly climbing up my list of favourite Amsterdam venues…

Oh, and anytime I can take a cute pic of Gwennie Chan is good for me!

07DEC08 (Round 2):
Wicked Jazz Sounds:
The hottest party in Amsterdam, EVERY Sunday night at Sugar Factory in the Leidseplein Party Zone!

Party: Wicked Jazz Sounds
Venue: Sugar Factory

Your raconteur was just about lowcrawling when he got to Sugar Factory last Sunday night. It was after 0100 and I was rather loaded, but I managed to scrape up a few quality shots… Two episodes of WJS in a weekend makes for a great weekend!!!

Tonight:

Stand by for my coverage! :)
