Weingarden Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Through some combination of perseverance, luck, masochism, inertia, and the kind indulgence of my employers, I've been DJ'ing at Botanica on Wednesday nights for 12 years now! Remember what a different world it was 12 years ago? A marginally less malevolent-seeming Rudy Giuliani in his peak comb-over years, smoking allowed in bars, G.W. Bush allowed to f--- only a single southern state and not an entire world...how times have changed! LET'S RAISE A GLASS OR FIVE TO THE SO-SO OLD DAYS MR. FINE WINE AT BOTANICA 12-YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19 BOTANICA 47 EAST HOUSTON STREET, BETWEEN MOTT AND MULBERRY MANHATTAN 10 TILL CLOSE FREE IF YA GOT RECORDS, BRING 'EM TO SPIN! Some of the faces to grace a Botanica Wednesday in the past 12 years: Yo La Tengo Cut Chemist Jon Spencer Eddie Vedder Russ Titelman Nelson George the Dirtbombs several Detroit Cobras some Gore Gore Girls numerous Dap Kings and Budos Band members Keb Darge Mark "Butch" Dobson Ian Wright Tim Brown Guy Hennigan and a lot of you reading this! THANKS FOR A GREAT 12 YEARS! AND THANKS TO ALL THE GREAT BAR STAFF I'VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO WORK WITH: SANDY, KELLY, MISSY, MARK, SUSAN, JAY, KAREN, GREG, DAVE, DANE, JESS, FIORI...HOPE I'M NOT FORGETTING ANYONE... LOOKING FORWARD TO, WELL, YEAH, I'LL ADMIT IT: 12 MORE YEARS! Link to comment
