The Platform and a new release!

Well I've had this idea for a while, and since summer's here, seems like the perfect time to bring it to fruition LOL.

For WHATEVER reason, when I got the sky platform that is now know as "The Platform" to me, I got this image in my head of a starry evening, hanging moss, blues, and people dancing on The Platform with some blues/jazz/country kind of stuff. ESPECIALLY because it's summer, I thought of blues. I have a lot of childhood memories liking blues to hot, muggy summer nights. Whether it's because of the Jazz festivals I went to in Montreal as a teenager, or just sitting outside listening to Leadbelly watching fireflies with my brother and parents, it's a strong link for me.

SO, when I decided to also have this occasional "entertainment area" (I don't want to call it a "Club" because I really don't want to commit to a rigid schedule like a real club does), I really wanted the Grand Opening of it to pay tribute to this calling for the blues, jazz, and just sultry music in general.

Therefore, on Friday, July 17 at 6 p.m., I'll be kicking off the Grand Opening of The Platform by having a "Summer Blues" event. I'm really excited to introduce you all to the DJ who will be playing for us that night -- Thor Barenhaut. He is a friend who DJ'ed for a bit at Skull Burner, where I used to DJ myself. He currently DJs at Hotlanta, and really is a great entertainer. He has a great lineup of some really wonderful stuff that will get everyone relaxed, happy and having fun.



The event itself does have a prize attached to it -- "Summer Blues," so ladies and gentlemen, if you would like to try to win a prize worth 400L, come over on Friday wearing your best blue outfit! For the men, I'm offering my newly-release "Blues Brothers Tribute" set (pictured with this blog) and for the ladies, I'm offering my previously released "Starry Night" set of necklaces.

At the end of the 2-hour set with Thor, the winners of the event will be announced.

Sooo, that's The Platform and Friday's event ;)

I've got an event planned for Saturday as well ... but because I don't want it to get lost in a LONGASS blogpost, I'll wait to tell you all about that tomorrow LOL.

I hope to see y'all on Friday! Woot!
