One of our favorite bands Gogol Bordello is doing a show in Park City tonght at Suede. If your looking for something off the wall fun to do, and there's still tickets left. You shouldn't miss them while they are on tour supporting they're most popular album yet called "Gypsy Punks - Underdog World Strike".
Utah Jazz player Carlos Boozer's L.A. home was Princeified and he's complaining? If it was me I would keep the purple striped exterior, matching monogrammed carpet and stage for at least one year... think of the freaky mileage you could get from that!
W Hotel has announced that it is coming to Las Vegas in 2008 with a Casino (naturally) and Residences. "The W Las Vegas will offer guests extraordinary experiences at every turn through the brand's lifestyle elements - provocative spaces, delightful indulgences and experiential suprises that will be unheard of even by 'Vegas' standards."
Here's a new live mix by Dimitri From Paris [real audio] from a party in Toronto via Milk Audio, which has great weekly shows and guests.
We were watching America's Top Model tonight (oh god... I might be addicted) and my friend Carly mentioned that Tyra's assistant Jay Manuel is the spitting image of Susan Powter, who you might remember picked up where Richard Simmon's left off in the early 90's with a briefely popular exercise infomercial. You be the judge.

Whitney Houston's back on crack and living in squalor says her sister, a former addict. "Tina claims drugs have made Whitney so paranoid that she sees demons everywhere and once made a hole in the bathroom wall as a spy hole."
Got an email from Antonio Ocasio in NYC touting a mix by a new DJ he's discovered named PANG LO. Download the MP3 at Antonio's website and enjoy the sweet selection of deep and percussive styles!

Yet again, JUST WANNA DANCE this past saturday was a miraculous success! I want to personally thank all the wonderful people who made the extra effort to come out and enjoy Session Two despite the awful turn in the weather.
Several people mentioned to me that they came on Saturday with a less than stellar attitude due to a stressful work week amongst other reasons, and they left the party feeling high on life and the music. In fact, by the time we opened the doors, myself and Nick were feeling pretty tired ourselves just from finishing all the stuff we wanted to have ready for the night. Yet somehow we centered our energy (energy = red bull/vodka), let our love for the music take over and enjoyed the ride as much as everyone else.
One of the fun things about tag-teaming with Nick is that I get little windows of time to talk to everyone and bust some moves of my own on the dance floor. I noticed that for some reason the dancefloor felt more intimate and naturally funky this time. As if everyone there wants this as bad as we do.
We want to send out some extra special love to our host Carly and special helpers Todd, Roth & Jessica for coming through on the day of the show by manning our newly minted T-Shirt factory and the "Death-Mix-Tape-Sauce" factory (don't ask, we were high on Tab Energy) at NCM headquarters. Thanks also goes out to Jason our MC and Chris Howard, who came through with the genius visuals that featured our JWD logo bathed in bad 80's tracer effects over the top of instructional dance footage from around the world. One word: HOT ...and he swears it will be even better next time.
For anyone interested in getting one of our awesome T-shirts, please contact me at email@newcitymovement.com and I'll see if we still have your size or we'll put you on a pre-order list for the next batch. There are girls sizes too for any biddies out there who hate boy T-shirts.
Fingers... Breakdancing.

Not for the faint of heart, LastNightsParty.com captures (for better or worse) how they're still shakin' it in the Big Apple when most of us are just getting ready for church.
All I have to say is, you have no idea how hard it is to find recordable cassette tapes anymore.
Since moving back to the city, my former personal assistant and Fashion Institute of NY graduate Andrew Yang took it upon himself to shoot some pictures with JUST WANNA DANCE in mind. Thank You! You can read more about Andrew at Yangabang.

I heard a little rumor over the weekend that Black Chandelier designer Jared Gold was going to be in an upcoming episode of America's Top Model, and what do you know? The internets reveal that he will indeed be featured in the March 22nd episode titled The Girl Who Kissed the Roach (episode #65).
The synopsis reads, "J. Alexander preps the girls for their first trip down the runway for fashion designer Jared Gold. Gold's spring line includes an interesting accessory....can the girls handle it?" I can't wait to find out.
