THE BOOT PART TWO

SO SIR SMEEDZ THOUGHT I SHOULD PUT IN MY TWO CENTS ABOUT LAST NIGHT, THIS IS JC BY THE WAY. LAST NIGHT WAS OUR FIRST NIGHT SPINNING AT THIS PLACE. IT WAS SIMPLE FUN. THANKS TO JOSH AND DAVE FOR AGREEING TO HOST IT. THE BOOT IS CERTAINLY A COOL SPOT WITH A GREAT ATMOSPHERE. JAMIE WAS A GREAT DUDE, PROPS TO THAT GUY FOR HELPING OUT WITH THE SOUNDS. WHITE DENIM DID SUCH A GOOD JOB! SOUNDED LIKE FUNK VOCALS (THINK OF THE ALMIGHTY JAMES BROWN) WITH HARD GARAGE ROCK MUSIC. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THEM OUT! CED DELIVERED THOSE SEXY RHYMES AND MADE THE CROWD MOVE! WE ENDED THE NIGHT AND EVERYONE BUSTED OUT THEIR SICK DANCE MOVES. WE HOPE TO HAVE MORE PARTIES HERE AND HOPE YOU GUYS COME OUT!

LOVE,
J TO THE C

AHH WHAT A COZY TIME AT THE BOOT!

LAST NIGHT WAS A GREAT NIGHT!!!! I DIDNT CATCH THE FIRST BAND, SO NOW TO THE GOOD SHIT! CED ROCKED IT LAST NIGHT EVEN THROUGH A BLOWN SPEAKER. TWO KEY THINGS THAT ENHANCED HIS PERFORMANCE WAS, BERK (TWO HALFS OF A MAN, PLUS 1 HALF AMAZING) AND ALSO THE ULTRA ILL "HANG WITH ME IM DRUG FREE" STUNNA SHADES CED HAD ON.
AFTER THAT JC/DC SMEDIUM, AND SIR GRIZZ, BLESSED THE DANCE FLOOR AS USUAL. :) BUT ON A DIFFERENT NOTE I WANT TO TELL YOU HOW THIS WONDERFUL NIGHT ENDED. OVER LOUD CHATTER, COMES JOHN TRAVOLTAS LEFT OVERS, FILLED WITH FURY AND A SORE ASSHOLE, AS HE FEELS HE WAS BENT OVER WITH NO LUBE. A "BROKEN PROMISE" LEFT THE REMAINING SCENESTERS FEELING BAD FOR THE BOOTS OWNERS, DUE TO TRAVOLTAS ANGER. AS THE GREAT SCENSTERS WE ARE, A SELECT FEW DECIDED TO HELP CLEAN A POST MARDI GRAS, DANCE FLOOR COVERED IN SLINKIES, SPIDER EARINGS, BANANA PEELS, BUBBLE JUICE, AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU COULD GET FROM PARTY CITY. THE MORAL OF THIS ENDING IS SOME PEOPLE ARE ABOUT BUSINESS, SOME PEOPLE ARE ABOUT CONNECTIONS, AND THE SELECT FEW ARE THERE TO FUCK WIT IT!!

PEACE LOVE AND SOULTRAIN!!!
