On Saturday, Oct 12 I'll be eerily producing my 12th vintage-inspired Halloween dance party in Portland (details below)! AND it'll be the10th one co-DJed by Wildman James (of Morgan & the Organ Donors)!
BUT that's not the only DJ anniversary I'll be celebrating on Oct 12. It will also mark the 30th anniversary of my first time DJing in public and in general. WHOA!
Yes, 30 years ago, Khaela Maricich (who later started the band The Blow) invited me to DJ at a Halloween party taking place in a barn with a dirt floor located in the middle of the forest somewhere in the pitch-black dark of night in Olympia, WA. If you think Portland is/was weird, it is NOTHING compared to Olympia in the mid-1990s!
Ah yes...30 years of the highs and lows of being a lady DJ in a male-dominated field. I'm still here to share the music & tell the tall tales, and I'll be doing so in spectacular fashion for months to come.
I'm also commemorating my 30th DJ-iversary by launching a BRAND NEW Radio Series to be broadcast on XRAY fm called Respected LadyLand! Soon I'll be supplying more details about this culmination of my life's work. STAY TUNED!
