Thanks to Kevin from Black Disco for leaving me with his crowd for the night, and to Chris Cruise my lovely and talented DJ partner and to all the bears who still get excited when they hear “First Time Around.” The Party’s every other Sunday Night at Ack bar on Sunset with Djs Chris Bowen and Kevin Nitedog.

We went out to Palm Springs for the Blackdisco / Canyons / DFA / Generic Surplus Party. I ended-up playing a few tunes.

it was funny to drive out to the desert with your family so you could go to a gay, hotel party. We got out of the car and walking into a steamy bath of Bears and boys like Louis who introduced me to his friend Louis. But it worked and everybody welcomed the wacky family that just rolled in. In the true disco tradition, the freaks recognize the freaks and there is love in the unity.

At the end of his set, the gentleman, I think from San Fran with sandy blonde hair played the Loft Classic, “I’ll Always Love my Momma,” in our honor. Very Sweet.

The air was dry and brilliant stars set in at night. It was the Brat Pack that established Palm Springs we’re told, and its weird… one part of you thinks, how could anyone vacation in this heat and your communal consciousness plagues you… how can the grass be this green in the desert!!! but at the same time you get it and you’re right at the base of this crazy mountain and its beautiful.

The thrifting is pretty great too.

Anywho. It was a great time. Good ol’ family fun time. Thanks to Kevin aka Nite Dog and the Ace Hotel for making it happen.

I just met a friend I made two years ago. Its weird. You create a blog as a personal outlet to explore what ever it is you currently need to exercise and then you realize that your exploration has no beginning or end. You are compelled to keep going, you believe that quitting is for quitters and you worry about what they will think if you really say what you feel and mean.

I met Jez Procter via the internet. He read something on my blog about the surf hotel that inspired him. He has since provided me with an arm to rest upon, not one in physical form, but one in the iconic since as in the American Woman of WWII who told us all, “You can do it”

You can work while your man’s at war.

You can dance while your heart lifts out of your body.

You can be just you.

We are following a model that’s been put into place for reasons most of us don’t an·a·lyze and by people who’s concerns are not ours.

I have the luxury of recently becoming a mother. I have been reborn. There will never be a day, and every day is the day.

I would say to those of us who are friends not because of what we can say but because of what we can hear, to not forget yourself in the intricacies of thought and its by-product, pride.

Its in all of us. That’s why you love it.

The moment you compare your self to another is the moment you’ve lost because you can never be that other, so just be you.

or… “If you want to be me, be me. And if you want to be you be you. If you want to be high, be high. And if you want to be low, be low.”

Coming back to your self after pregnancy. I feel like a prisoner just released.

This is really the nuttiest thing I’ve ever done… becoming a mom.

Coming back to dancing after pregnancy. I’ve been cut in half and I’m trying to reconnect.

I was dancing in new york, two and a half months after her birth and had trouble moving the top with the bottom portions of my body. I felt like a soft-centered, string puppet.

Last Saturday February 7th, a pivotal date for a lot of people who were moving or beginning an expedition, i began way back to dancing. Harvey played at a big sarcastic disco. There, I warmed-up. The pieces gelled a bit more, and Hue Herrera and I danced in honor of our three year anniversary mountain, moon and sea experience that gave birth to the Disco Surf Hotel dream.

And tonight Sunday Feb 15th is the one year anniversary of a party Ram and I threw for Heidi and Helen (two Venice ladies). It is also the 39th Anniversary of David Mancuso’s Loft party in NYC. Once you go to one of these gigs, you try to mentally transport yourself to NYC to be there in lieu of a plane ticket, and especially on the anniversary you feel a connection to all your dancing partners there.

So tonight I really wanted to go dance, and then again I didn’t want to dance because my daughter and hubby were snuggled in bed and really there’s nothing better, but I forced myself.

Heidi seemed glad to see me and introduced me to a friend of hers who I’m not sure but I wonder, is he a Yankee, no he’s a Londoner. And we got down like this.

I felt my self warming up one song a a time into each part of myself, connecting and then a putting life into all these areas of me, places I couldn’t reach before because I’d been severed.

It began today at an amazing yoga class. The teacher was in his early sixties who talked like william burroughs. He thought every thing was hilarious, “Now you feel your body lighting up in places like a pin ball machine! Hahaha!” He teaches yoga with poetry and physics, and he’s at Yoga Works on Main at 7:30 every Saturday and Sunday.

So today dancing came back to me.

I feel so refreshed.

It’s raining now.

Happy Anniversary to all Lofters. We dance together where ever we are.
