On the cover this month are two two good friends Eric (aka DJ Velvin) & Shandi (aka DJ Shanthrax). They were recently in Kansas City from New York to play an event for another friend (pictured right). The event, A Denim Revolution was half birthday party and half fashion show. It was really the first chance I had to get out this month and I was very glad that I did. After a long month at work on redesigning the web site, it was good to get out and shoot some photos and see some old friends. Unfortunatley, having brought the wrong battery pack, I only made it until midnight.... whoops. :P

I got out a couple of other times this month, kicking things off again with Aaron at Cicada Rhythm's 10th Anniversary party in Lawrence. Roy Davis Jr was the featured DJ for the night and he rocked a full dance floor the whole night.

I have to give credit where due though, while I have been busy working on the site, the other guys have been doing a great job of getting footage from some awesome shows around the area. Nathan even hit a party in Austin when he was back from Iraq. Hopefully, he and the others will get to come home from that miserable place soon.

In St Louis recently, Brian partied at Naughti Gras at Ten14. Just the week before he had dropped in on Max Graham at Dante's and then headed out for Winter Warpdrive 2 all in the same night. From the photos, it looked like a really great time. I saw that a lot of Kansas City kids made it out for that one! Sometimes that's what you gotta do, eh? Hit the road.

And that is what I think I am going to do later this month. Because of other commitments, I am going to have to skip Miami this year, but we will still have a couple of other photographers going down there. I am definitely looking forward to seeing how the party goes off. Two days this year for Ultra! Wow! Meanwhile in St Louis, Satoshi Tomiie will be playing at Dante's. Eiither it's been a while since he's been through here, or I have been missing out. Either way, I am not going to miss out this time. Maybe I see you there?
