Rishi took me to a really sweet party at Lo_Fi last night. The entertainment was a rotation of DJs backing live MCs (tried to catch the name of my favorite… Dave Hill maybe? Super smooth hiphop lyricist). And then the b-boys hit the grimy floorboards with mad precision. (I sound like Tana on the Apprentice trying to talk street. Jesus.) Anyway: Best dancing I’ve seen since last year’s Bumbershoot championships. Athletic. Plus, there was a very white guy called “the Duke” (derby, sunglasses, smart vest, white chiffon scarf holding up well-tailored drawers) who broke it down robot-style and some how fit right in. The crowd was young and hot and positive and either that back room is nonsmoking or the kids are finally getting wise; the usual smoke-choke never got me. The night’s called Stop Biting, cover is $3 (women get in free before 11 pm), and it appears to be a weekly event.
