Solid Good Tunes

Ooh, Thanksgiving!  Four awesome/exhausting/magical days of doing absolutely nothing but eating/drinking/sleeping/drinking/watching snow fall.  Whether I was dealing with Red Heads with Ponytails/Asian mobs/Taxi threats/one too many shots of Tequila, it was a superb time, and I was mostly superbly intoxicated for it all.  BUT, the absolute highlight of the long weekend was dancing to DJ Ed Blammo's, Solid Good Times, at Medusa Lounge...Gasp!!  I know, I know...I had never dreamed of stepping foot into the infamous ML, but I was drunk enough/it was a friend's bday/I was intrigued by the stories, take your pick, and I went.  And, I am so glad I did.  Despite the red carpeted walls or the windows covered with trash bags or the bathroom doors that don't lock (and no mirrors!!) or the weird, rubbery, vinyl floors or the extremely low ceilings littered with ripped dollar bills/graffiti/ you name it....okay, okay, I've made my point.....despite ALL of that (and more) Blammo's tunes were bumpin', the people were jumpin'(I don't understand how they avoid hitting their heads on those low, littered ceilings), and my head was literally thumpin'(for several days). DJ Ed Blammo also entertains his crowds at PYT and Barbary, and this Saturday night, he will be at Kung Fu Necktie for Ego Trip.  His tunes are diverse, great for dancing, and put you in an awesome mood.  I absolutely cannot wait to check him out again, wherever it may be.  And, although I wouldn't recommend hanging out at Medusa Lounge on just any old night, it is definitely worth going to, to check out this guy.
