January 3, 2003
No, this did not post on the 1st... And, anyone who was at the Winter Soulstice should understand why... That being said let me begin by thanking everyone who came out for New Year's Eve. Someone asked me that night if I ever get to have fun on New Year’s since I’m always spinning. Those of you who stuck around 'til the end and were privileged enough to see Tony Tantrum break dancing to "Yo, Little Brother" know there is nothing more fun on this earth than doing what I do...
It is 2003 – Happy New Year!! I’m real amped about this upcoming year. Big things planned . . . Many of you have been wondering about this alleged "CD-Release Party" I had advertised for December. We’ve pushed it back so that it can be done right. When we finalize details, I will get them out to all of you – and, I really hope to see you out that night. This CD is fun all the way through; a project I am very proud to have completed. Trust me, that’s not something I say often...
Normally, I avoid discussing politics on VanVader.com. But, I can’t avoid it right now. Why? Clue: What's a two-word phrase for "Van Vader will not need to buy so much Febreze anymore"? . . . Give up? That’s right, "No Smoking." Mayor Bloomberg – he’s on my mailing list, if you didn’t know – I can’t comment on everything you’ve done this year, but that smoking ban just added a few more years to my djing life. If it is enforced, I thank you...
Most important news of all, Gillian and I got engaged! Yep, it’s true. And, if you’re saying, "It’s about time," you’re right. We’re real excited... (This is probably not the best forum for some of you to be finding out, but it at least lets me see who read these every month. ;-) Jalen is the most excited of all of us. No, it's true – when he wasn’t eating the wrapping paper from his gifts, he was trying to put the ring in his mouth. That’s my man...
Happy Birthday's to Molly, Tracy, and all of the January folk. And, special thanks to everyone who made the Winter Soulstice a success: Karl, Sheldon, Alice, Tone, Karen, El Nino, Corn Dawgs, Phil, Kim, Chris, Patrice, Lila, JR, and George . . . See you soon!
