DJ Micky Friedman – Sat Dec 6 at the Majestic

Yesterday afternoon, I was chatting a bit with Tommy Delicious (who does have a bit of a reputation for booking and bringing the best musical talent to Vancouver) from the Majestic and it turns out that he’s throwing a little shindig this Saturday (December 6)..

In case you were wondering, the guy on the poster isn’t Gay Model #47, it’s actually DJ Mickey Friedman. Intrigued? I was.

When Tommy Delicious directed me to http://www.myspace.com/djmickyfriedmann, it was like I had stepped into some netherworld where worldclass DJs are not only talented and hot, but also shirtless and attention whores. I am in love, Vancouver. Let me save you a visit to Micky’s mySpace:

The book cover is a black and white drawing of Leavitt and her partner Donimo, with a creature with teeth coming in from one side. There are light purple bleeding hearts with green leaves and stems; the title of the book is hand-written, in light purple and white.
