Mexicoma Music Week

Guess who’s in Mexico enjoying a well-deserved break? Ahhhhhhhh…

Up at
WinterPRIDE, I had a lot of people introduce me to new music. This

If you haven’t already heard, Vancouver uber-promoter Tommy D has parted ways with the new Pulse nightclub and is freelancing (aka whoring) about town, planning parties that will convince even the most hardened skeptic that a packed dancefloor is where it’s at.
