Sacramento Dubstep

Went to The Format at The Momo last night. Dubstep, old school hip hop and electro. KennyKill played an hour-long dubstep set, and there was another dubstep DJ laying down tunes as well.

Anyway, Sacramento dubstep: The Momo, upstairs and behind Harlow’s on 27th and J, Thursday nights from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM. ($2 PBR dueces, too.)

Edit 3/18/11: I’ve been made aware of two other dubstep nights in the area: DJ SLowmo, who spins at The Graduate in Davis, 805 Russel Blvd Davis Ca, 95616. DJ Slowmo on Facebook.

And “Grimey Sacramento Dubstep” at the Townhouse in Midtown every other Tuesday night.

Also, shameless plug time: I made dubstepp.com a little while ago. It’s a great dubstep music aggregator/listening channel - it scrapes http://reddit.com/r/dubstep/ for tracks and puts them all in one place. dubstepp.com makes it really easy to find new artists and songs. Check it out - I think you’ll like it!

Grand Rapids/Sacramento Differences, Part 1

Three interesting groups of people that I saw today that I probably wouldn’t have seen in Grand Rapids:

Four Mexican roofers/painters walking in to a Starbucks at 8:30 in the morning and all ordering vente vanilla non-fat mochaccinos.
Three attractive female construction workers, employed by the state, digging a big hole in downtown Sac.
A group of three very gay office workers, all talking quietly in Spanish to each other in a suburban Del Taco.

I had always suspected this, but now I can confirm it: the Spanish Spanish accent really does sound gay.

We’re Moving to Sacramento!

Lauren and I are moving to Sacramento! Lauren was offered a job 20 minutes after her phone interview, she accepted, and we’re moving!

We’re both glad to move back to California, even though we’ve grown to like Michigan a lot. The people in Grand Rapids are great, Michigan’s outdoors is stunning - even though it’s no Lake Tahoe or San Francisco Bay - and overall, it’s a really, really friendly place. I like Michigan.

But bigger and better things are calling to us. Lauren is flying out a day or two early with our cat, Lion. We’re having our stuff shipped there, and I’m driving our car to California with my Grandpa.

Lauren’s new job is in advertising and marketing, like she does now, and I’ll keep on doing my freelance web/ExpressionEngine development thing. We’re both excited. Pray for us for the trip and for the transition - it’s our first major move, ever.
