alive

Music moves me. In any variety of different ways, it soothes me, it lifts me, it reaches me, in almost any and every moment. It rustles up memories, shakes up my blurring senses and sends me back into a truly felt life. Have you ever felt a little rickity and blasted, for instance, "Push It," or "Ain't No Mountain High Enough?" Have you ever been feeling a little wild and overly-hyped and rocked some Pointer Sisters in an effort to jump the jumping bean out of your system? Do you find that the only reason weddings are ever any fun, anymore, is simply because the dj's bangin', the band is on point and you just can't resist. You have to do the electric slide one more time? Well, maybe you don't, but I do. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I've spoken to you about the musically talented wunderkid who graces our sound system, every Friday night. You know that I know that we all ought to know, by now, that DJ Jeyone is basically the baddest brother around. In fact, he's been such an inspiration to the vibe, that team-queen has decided we need to add to all that he's been so artfully trying to do: Spice up our space through the art of sound. How are we going to do this? Live music.

We've begun hiring an eclectic and diverse array of talented souls to soothe you in person, in real time. Haven't you been longing to while away a wicked week-ending with sweet tunes, sweet cocktails and your sweetest Vibe Queen? I figured. Every Friday, starting July 10th, we'll be hosting Happy Hour on the backyard patio from 530ish to 830ish and the sound will be coming at you, live. Jeyone will still be on the set, hooking up this same bat station and bat time on the last two Fridays of the month.

Please join me in celebrating another new opportunity to get a little closer to the finer things in life. It may be hot and you may be tired. You may be feelin' a little less than fab. Naturally, you'll need a song sent your way on the lofty wind to pick you up and get your groove put back on. Fortunately, your Queen is here to provide.
