HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hands down: one of THE best dance parties I've ever been to happened last night! It rated right up there with the Mexican rave at the Tijuana jai-alai court back in 2001. I laughed, I cried, I saw the best of best friends and danced my ass off..!



Despite the almost maudlin previous post on lamenting the absence of my friend John from this year's festivities, all was well in the world during midnight and much fun was had! Cliff -n- Scott had their infamous New Year's party and there was so much love in the air and old friends that it felt like going to prom with all the people you always wanted to go with and everything was super rad and cool. This year they had to post someone at the door to turn away crashers, so that also meant that only friends made it in, which is why it was like a giant San Francisco social scene reunion. They have a flat above an autobody shop, along with complete access to a giant rooftop. Bedecked with colored lights and a cleared out living room, the dance floor was in full effect and a string of DJs took turns spinning Soul, 70s, 80s, and hip hop...
