I just got back from playing fashion week in Paris along with DJs Jus Ske & Sal Morale. It was a great time and we played some amazing shows. I played parties for Tenjune and Mr. West at L’eclaireur Bar (Gallery Royale), a unique space that combines art and fashion with a nightlife environment.

Friday and Saturday nights were the highlights of the trip. Jus, Sal and I played for the Paris club and restaurant Sens at their annual “Don’t Tell My Booker” party hosted by 1Oak & Usher. Many thanks to Cyril Peret and DJ Magnum.

I ended my trip playing Sunday night at the Paris hot spot BC (Black Calavados) for a slew of models who refused to go home. I ran into my friends Jean and Paul Dupuy from Tokyo which was a bug. Thanks again to Sal Morale for orchestrating my whole trip and Jus for putting up living with me.

Last night the Sollis brothers, myself and Vanessa went up to 175th street to the opulent United Palace theatre. MGMT performed too but we were too busy being lost in Washington Heights. We met up with Alexandra, and ended up sitting right up front, which is funny because we found out midway through the show our tickets were for the night before’s show…
I am not the most informed Beck fan, but the show was somber, personal, and creative. Regardless of the music, being around a few thousand people in literally a Palace is fun. Here are some photos:

If you are out east make sure to support:

It will start at the Joyce Theater at 8pm with a performance by the Ballet Hispanico Company followed by an After-Party from 10:30pm – 12:30am at the nearby North Cabanas of the Maritime Hotel. With all ticket proceeds to benefit Ballet Hispanico’s arts and education program in NYC public school’s, $120 to see a dance performance and attend a fabulous party is a bargain.  Can’t make it to the show?

I like pictures, easier to read than books…

You can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but a great cover doesn’t hurt. With all the work we are going through now, I can’t finish reading all the magazines and books I have, and keep getting… so I bring them to the office and have them around to peruse, inspire, etc. A selection of what’s at the office:
