OK. So I’m like 2 years late on this, but I’m just now getting into Entourage and the show is just really fresh. They say it’s like Sex and the City for guys, but I don’t know about it. It’s more like Swingers the show. Now the question is, which character do I identify most with? Actually, being a young person, it’s more like who is the person I’d most aspire to be like? For me, it’s either Eric (the loyal manager best friend) or Ari (the bulldog hustling agent). The Alpha/Beta vs. the full out Alpha male. Why did no one tell me to watch this sooner?!
Anyhow, back to the show.

Got it on lock like a Vice
Last week I had a super funky fresh time at the Mezzanine SF, where I saw Thunderheist and Black Ghost. There were free drinks courtesy of sake2me and Colt45 Malt Liquour and free pics at the Nokia photo area. AND there was no cover. All put together by Vice Magazine.
What’s not to like? No cover, free show, free drinks, people way cooler than me, and an opportunity to indulge in narcissisms.
Mezzanine is a sweet venue with 5 bars, a primary dance floor, a loft area, good ventilation, and a kickin sound system. They’ve housed eclectic shows ranging from electro to hip hop with artists like Mos Def, MIA, Keisha Cole, and Anthony Hamilton to name a few. It’s also small enough to provide an intimate setting, but also big enough to dance in. Really I can’t say anything bad about this place.
Thunderheist tore it down that evening with a sick set that felt like a live mix with vocals; each song smoothly transitioned to the next, keeping the the crowd in constant movement. The Lead singer was electric with sass, spice, and charisma. Her confidence was alluring. The sound was electrocrunk. The end of the set was an invitation to stage to the entire audience. Siiiiick.
Sorry, Black Ghost. After a hype set like that two guys behind turn tables just wasn’t hard hitting enough.
I’ve gotta hand it to the folks at Vice. They throw a jumpin party.
Here’s a pic from the stage:

Happy APA Heritage Month.
I don’t know who Ken Lee is, but this tribute song to him is incredible.
