Good morning 2009 BoC people

8Ball — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 17:50:00 +0000

Thanks to everyone who came out for BoC yesterday. It was the biggest yet, and while bigger doesn’t always mean better, in this case it was the best yet. It’s always fantastic to kick off the year with all you happy, crazy, and sometimes cracked out people. So again, thanks for coming and I hope you’re all recovered or at least on your way.

Also thanks to all our guest DJs – Zach Moore, Trav, Deckard, shOOey,Murphstar, Ding Dong, Sol, Robb Green, Uncle Larry, Tamo, Mozaic, and Benchun.

Also a huge thanks to DJ Icon who jumped on the decks upstairs and played a great set, just when we were worried we were out of DJs to play up there.

XOXO to all, and of course, “Happy New Year!”

PS: Stay tuned for the DJ set recording, courtesy of Zach Moore & info on lost & maybe found (check with Whisper first).

Alert: There is no champagne in the Champagne Room

And there’s no breakfast at Breakfast of Champions.

If you’re coming to BoC this year, please grab a bagel or two on the way, because unfortunately the kitchen is closed this year. (And if anyone knows a taco truck or the Tamale Lady, invite them by…)

2008 is DEAD! Long LIVE 2009!

8Ball — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:10:00 +0000

Hello Friendly Person:

Aside from one single significant (important and world-changing) exception, 2008 was a horrible ass-biter of a year and when it’s gone the only person who will mourn the fucker will be racist moose-hunting war mongers and their bible thumping fans. 2009 can’t help but do better by us and – if the weather man’s correct – New Year’s Day is going to be crisp and clear. That means not only do you get to kick your New Year’s off right with Breakfast of Champions, you also get the added benefit of being able to enjoy some fresh air between DJ sets without getting rained on! If you were at last year’s BoC you know what I’m talking about.

For those of you who don’t agree with that t-shirt that reads “Same shit, different DJ,” and actually care which of us self-important glorified jukeboxes is playing at what time, allow me to now share our set times*

* This list of set times is not a contract. It’s not a promise. It’s not even schedule. It’s our version of sitting on Santa’s lap saying, “We want a Red Rider BB Rifle.” If Santa decides to give us a cracked-out e-tarded house DJ who shows up 30 minutes late for his/her set with a crate full of goth Nancy Sinatra covers, that’s what you get and you’ll like it.

As always, Breakfast of Champions will be at Club Whisper
535 Florida Street, between 18th & Mariposa
$10 and an ID get you in
A good attitude plus an ability to keep filthy habits under the radar keep you in
6AM until you cry, “Uncle!”

NEW 8BALL MIX

Right, so technically most of the holidays are in the rear view, but this latest mix is coming in before New Year’s, so I’m calling it your holiday present.

It’s been a long time since I’d played around with drum and bass, way too long considering that was all I played at one point. Well, I’ve finally pitched myself back up to the 170bpms for this mix of funky, jazzy, techy, and of course electrosteppy jungle.

A Unimog Recovery Story

Andrea — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:29:00 +0000

Our 1973 Unimog received a brand new transmission this fall.

We took a few pictures for all of you gear heads out there. The entire cab had to be removed. Years of pre-playa, as well as mucho playa dust are visible on the engine and transmission that needed to be lifted with a crane.

A big thank you to Scott and our friends at Expedition Imports up in Vallejo for having the shop, know-how and amazing talent and gusto to baby our sick Unimog. Only in the bay area could you find a shop specializing in Unimogs. Hooray!
