S P A C E C O W B O Y S

From all of us at the Space Cowboys we say thank you. Thank you for helping us do what we do, thank you for appreciating what we do, thank you for doing what you do. Most importantly thank you for being there for us. I mean this internally and externally. Hell, Trip recently quoted Oprah on the Shine blog, so I’m gonna have to pull out the big guns here to one up him here… And go deep to the Golden Girls theme song when I: ”...say thank you for being a friend…..”

You asked, you begged, you pleaded. I practically forgot to acknowledge them.

A tremendous thank you goes out to all of the DJs who rocked our party on the island this Halloween. We were able to record some of the sets of the evening, and proudly present them for your downloading pleasure.

Alas we were not able to securely record everyone sets, but please heed the announcement while rrrrus was rrrrocking the Mog. Brad Robinson will always be our favorite PSA.

Special Thanks to Zach Moore for leading the charge on memorializing this night for us.

ALL OF OUR FABULOUS VOLUNTEERS!!!
With over 200+ folks who worked tirelessly for two months to build, create, rebuild, adjust, cooperate and appear when most needed, we can’t thank you enough. Special thanks to Piper Hook for helping coordinate volunteers, and for everyone being so flexible as we worked to keep the party running.
Space Cowboys, Deependers, Btaxers, 4theBurke, this means you guys. I thought I would cry the night of the party because I was so proud of you all!! But I was way to busy to actually form tears of joy.

If I’ve forgotten anyone, my deepest respect and thanks will be repaid with Jameson. But that will not be until Breakfast of Champions.

It was heartbreaking to have to turn people away at the door. We apologize and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Humbly,
Andrea xxxx

PS – Lost and found is currently being collected.
If you are missing something please place comment here and how to get a hold of you. Thanks!

Andrea already said it, but I wanted to extend a personal thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday… especially of you that understood the bumps and snags that occur when you try to pull off such a unique event (like me pestering peeps for a checkbook at 3am). I hope you’ll come out to celebrate with us again on Friday for our monthly Fresh at Shine… See the link on the right side of the this page. Personally, I’m looking forward to actually getting around to hang out and have some drinks with y’all… something I just didn’t get to do enough of….

See the comments section in the “Thank You”article below if you’re looking for lost items…. we’re still sorting them out….

Thanks again…

Hello Friendly Person:

First, I’m not here to remind you to vote. Unless you’ve been locked in a forgotten porta-potty somewhere in the back of a deserted warehouse in the most remote reaches of Kathmandu, you know the election is today, you know what’s at stake, and if you don’t vote it’s because you made the conscious and deliberate decision NOT to vote. You probably have a very good reason, like maybe you’re a communist dickhead assclown terrorist-hugger.

Instead, I’m going to share with you something scary I thought of this morning—something that chilled my blood and made my heart skip a beat the moment it popped in my head. What if it’s all a Rovian ploy? Think about it: Dick Cheney, Barrack Obama. Have you ever seen the two of them in the same place at the same time? What if the whole time it’s just been Cheney in an Obama suit? OK, I know it’s just a crazy paranoid delusion, but I still can’t help but wonder if Rove didn’t considered the idea at least once. Maybe he used a shrinker-ray; miniaturized Cheney and inserted him into the cockpit of an Obama-bot that he will operate for the next 4 to 8 years. Maybe he develop some kind of evil mind-transfer device, like Freaky Friday; think of the terror Obama would feel seeing the cruel and sneering face of Cheney staring back at him in the mirror while the real Cheney proceeded to dismantle the Constitution from within Obama’s skin. Spooky stuff, huh?

Right, moving on, we’ve got a couple things to share:
1) Space Cowboys are on Twitter now. Go to http://twitter.com/space_cowboys and click “Follow” and we’ll follow you back
2) Tonight Aaron Jae’s playing an election night party at Mighty (see below)
3) Friday, we’ve got myself and the Seismic crew spinning for you at Shine for the November installment of Fresh (see below)
4) Thanks to everyone who came to Ghost Ship—hopefully it’s just the first of an annual event!

xo, 8b

PS: Don’t forget to vote! :P

UPCOMING EVENTS

Tuesday, 11/4 – End of An Error @ MIGHTY
It’s the elections again, & it’s ABOUT TIME!!!!! I know the majority of you San Franciscans are hoping that soon we’ll be living in an Obama-nation, but I really must say that the last 8 years have truly been an abomination. So it’s time to CELEBRATE! Bush is going out of office, there’s no possible way he can get re-elected regardless of what happens in Florida, and this sad saga in American history is finally coming to a close.

Come join us @ Mighty where we’ll be broadcasting the election coverage throughout the club with a soundtrack provided by a bunch of amazing artists who just can’t help but celebrate the fact that there really is a light at the end of the tunnel, and yes, it’s changing colors.

In the back room we’ll have some food & snacks as well as a couple televisions setup in a more relaxing environment so that the more serious voter can catch all the election info as it comes in.

Outside, Peter (TeacherWiththeBus.com) will be bringing down his awesome bus with the dance-floor & the Ambient Mafia will be providing the music, visuals, & who knows what else.

In the main room, music will be provided by a couple SF dj’s that you know, as well as a couple that you probably should know. & we might even have a special, super secret, can’t tell you yet, out-of-town dj stop in to play, but I guess you’ll just have to come to find out.

Mighty (119 Utah @ 15th)
$5 (free b4 11pm w/”Proof that you Voted” (sticker or stub))
9pm – 2am

FRIDAY, 11/7 – FRESH SEISMIC FUNK @ SHINE (hosted by Plump & Juicy Brettocks)
The November Spacecowboy’s FRESH features a lineup of recognizable turntablists ready to unleash the rocksteady rythms of nu skool funkiest – both straight beat or break beat (or maybe, if you are lucky, some gay beat). Regardless, this is a lineup to be reckoned with. After the calamity of Ghostship, bring it all back home to our monthly FRESH. This is the time to do it – celebrate the beginning of a new era of Obama. Or, have a dance-off, bringing to the dancefloor some Palin-esque hockey-mom moves or whatever ails you. You can shave RIPE into the hairy backsides of our latest SpaceCowboy inductees or just poke fun at the Spacecowpoke (me!) that is barely holding on to membership. FRESH @ SHINE is not happening in December, so this is the time to get down and shake your rump and reconnect with the core posse. A few siesmologists will be on hand to measure the evening on the richter scale of funk-tastical tasty-ness.

with djs
Murphstar (Seismic)
8Ball (Spacecowboys)
Brett Pinkin (Seismic Space Cowboy)
Trav (Seismic)
+ extra special guest
9pm – 2am, 21+, $5 after 11pm

NEW MUSIC
Aaron Jae Live @ Priceless ‘08
Aaron says: “I know it’s been a long time since I’ve put a mix online, so I hope this doesn’t disappoint. If you’ve had a chance to hear me play in the last year, then you might not be surprised to hear the style of this mix. But if you’ve only been listening to mixes you’ve downloaded of mine, be prepared for something a bit different than you’re used to. This set was recorded while I was playing at False Profits “Priceless” campout towards the end of 2008, and since it’s an opening set, it starts out very chill. You might recognize a couple of the 1st few tracks, but after that the majority of them are fairly new. I had a ton of fun playing this set & even forgot that I was recording for a while, so there’s a bunch of little tricks, stabs, & cross-overs. I bet you can’t count them all.”
