No Boomtown this Friday. Happy St. Patrick's Day! Kiss an Irish person if you know and like one. St.Patrick's Day (more like 12:38 AM in the morning 3 years ago...) forever changed my life! Zaeden Priest Meagher (pronounced Mar) was born into my life by my wonderfully loving and patient partner Charlotte M. Priest. Becoming a father is likely the most profound, amazing and powerful event of my life so far with my own birth coming in third, with pink floyd live in Toronto being the second. (Kidding!/not) But seriously now, being a dad, a DJ, a carpenter, a good partner, while starting a digital marketing company, keeps ol'e Boomtown as busy as the local watering hole on a Friday night. Cue ridiculously cute photo now! Zaeden with backpack and boots, ready for daycare.To be honest, I could really use a break from the odd Friday. Life is full on, as I'm sure it is for you too. You/I can honestly thank Zaeden for being so good at going to bed on most Fridays so papa can come out and Play! (Too many daddy references yet?) I am beyond thankful for the opportunity to re-hone my craft, as Dee-jaying & reading the crowd and dancing is one of my deeper passions.
Being in the endemic feels like such a release and to be back into gathering, dancing and socializing with less fear and a bit more openness, has been good medicine for the lonely fool in me. So thanks for showing up you beautiful little wonder! This Friday @mobys Buckdodgers band and Tom Hooper will be the entertainment! Catch you Next Friday for a ( b l a n k ) themed night of dj music 9-12:30.
