Such an epic dance. Deva, Diandra, Melissa and Jen at the Mercury Café. First I played some music on stage with Melissa. Then we went upstairs and there was a blues swing night happening. The DJ was great. I soundhounded the song below as an example. Then a long dance walk afterward, through the empty streets of freezing Denver at 2 o'clock in the morning on a Wednesday night.

About three songs in I was ready to take a break and see how Tyler was doing, but I couldn't find a break. The DJ was go...

Probably number 750 at this point.

 It's been a long time since I posted here. I was going for 1001 dances, but when Blogger made it tough for me to post pictures, I slowed down. I should start again. Today rode my bike into Corona. It was one of those impossibly glorious bikerides. I put together a youtube video in my mind. I was listening to the Vibrarian Mixcloud , which I highly recommend. This set was called Burgers * Silicone  * Lust.  Vibrarian is one of the aliases of my friend Joel Davis. He is probably my longest go to DJ. I've been following him since he used to DJ our club, D Note, in Arvada back in the early 2010s.  I often have religious experiences with Joel's sets. Today was no exception.  The video would be a go-pro around the city. Taking in the sights. To the extent of Joel's set. On a bike, or on foot, either way. Then later I would record another layer to the video, a voice over.  Each song of the set would have a different focus for the listener. The listener would...
