The Dubstep Circus, 12/12: Reeeeecap!

Holy Mackerel!!!

We in the Detroit Dubstep Labs cannot express our deep appreciation and respect for all those who came out to support our wild circus extravaganza.

Many thanks to the gorgeous Leland Ballroom, Larry Love, Johnny5, Source Audio, Burners Without Borders, Detroit Fire Guild, Rick Falck, Evan Fitzgerald, Michael Abernathy, Aaron Helisek (POPSH!T), Detroit Exposure, Joe Le & Kristi Radbourne, Photastic Images, and most importantly: YOU YOU AND YOOOOU, OUR INSANELY BEAUTIFUL LIL' COMMUNITY OF TOTAL FREAKS!!!

(Do you know how genuinely beautiful you guys are? Ahhh...)

Thanks for jammin' with us!

Hi- I'm Angela. I was "stuck" at the door all night. Did you say hi to me? Hug me? See me? Well, at the time I was stressin' because I thought I was really missing out (which I was!)

Am I yelling? Naw, I'm not yelling.

But after much rest and mulling over the word "stuck," I realize that the door was the absolute best spot in tha HOUSE cuz I got to see all of your beautifully adorned faces and bodies and costumes and smiles and ohhhh my, was it friggin SAWEET to meet all of you people!

See me in tha purple with tha hat on? Do I look like I know what I'm doing? (photo credit to kristi radbourne)
I also got to experience loads of lovin' for my girl Doxie's Homeless Project. Warm kudos & special spanks to:

Moving on to the madness which ensued on 12/12: We were fresh out of a hip-hop DJ and had to scrammmble last minute for some sort of noise to play as ya'll were walking in. How did we do? That's what I thought. Can I seriouslyyyy get a HELL YEAH for... K@Tdog & POPSH!T:

Concentrating harrrrd for you freaks. Aren't they kinda cute?

Between the two of them they played for like uhhhh...SEVEN HOURS...how did that work out for you fine-lookin' folks? I know I was certainly shaking my sweet booty in that lobby for the entire eve.

Another HELL YEAH YEAH for Mister Scott Sutterfield, the magic man with the lights and the mongo computer monitor and the visual enhancements and YESSS he is still rocking the PC Tower watchu' know about dat!

Seriously focused- the beautious Scott! Who loves this geeky guy- we do.

The next morning was a remarkable mix of serious euporia, deilirium, and frenzy.Scott, Angela, and K@tDOG (are we keeping him unnamed or something? lemme know) were awakened by a very professional Leland Hotel phone call at 12:15 pm. "Hello will you be extending your stay with us today sir?" And Sir Scott is all "No, we shall be departing shortly." Then it was to the lobby where I almossssst forgot about our grand pile of donations- that huuuuuge cardboard box (do you remember it, big red thing w a shiny bow?) Anyway, the donations box had a whole side ripped open from our overflow of lovin. AWWWWW, SHUCKS GUYS!

I know the glare is blocking zee eyes, but Angela is a very happy girl here. This is generally good for everybody.

Together we raised over 200 items for the homeless in Detroit. Doxie hugged me nice and big, it felt fuzzy, teehee. We are gonna put some backpacks together after the new year, and your donations will be used in this process.

Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude, forreal.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU EVERYBODY. We are about to help soooo many people on the cold, wet, streets, makes me so happy and I wanna do MORE when we can...hint hint 12/26 hint hint...

After loading up my baller status van, it 'twas back to my pad for some serious hunger control. I fed the boys (we ate like kings-- eh hem-- AND QUEENS) and we rambled on about how silly, fun and utterly inspiring the previous night was...

Mz. Antha is bringin sexy back. In a VERY non-lame, totally neat way!

The Beautiful Baker ;)

That's mah girl doin' her thing! Ain't she purty?

Rick Falck- this guy is badass! Bonkersss!

Evan Fitzgerald- love him! FB friend this guy, he vows to work out any ole' kink of yours.
Flec Mindscape- anyone else spellbound??

Ya'll look wicked! Rockin it :)

To be totally honest, we still can't believe we pulled the thing off- HA!

We have major things in store for 12/26- Dubstep Circus #2.

Four DJs, no scramblin' this time (we hope, tah-dah, ya never know, tha show must go on!)

Get ready for another Burners Without Borders drive. This time we'll be collecting GLOVES ONLY, so take note immediate and come prepared! We have mad amounts of *love* for you guys and we are truly blessed to have been able to form such kickass community of kids so quickly. Makin' friends has never been so fun!

THANKS FOR HANGING OUT WITH US.
Until next time, be Good.

Love,

Detroit Dubstep

Dubstep Circus: Community Outreach Aspect!

(Angela's favorite part, duh)

We (hmmm..."we" don't have a name really yet- "Detroit Dubstep" I guess for now- any suggestions?) worked harrrrd to keep the event free, but unfortunately we were unable to do so. In result, we have come up with a donation system and awesome community outreach opportunity thanks to Doxie from Detroit's Burners Without Borders (BWB) :

$7 for 18 & up.

$5 for those who bring a 3+ item donation of: gloves, socks, or canned protein (ie beans, sardines, meat only)

Just in time for the holiday season, we are super uber duper stoked to be able to come together as a youth culture, and use this dubstep circus event as a vehicle to channel an inspiration for positive social change. Very grateful to be collaborating with BWB- an awesome local initiative (also a nationwide org)!

PS- Cheers to the Freaks!
