Hello friends, lovers, mothers and other strangers! Summer is officially upon us, at least in my book, and this blog is about to get hoppin'. As most of you know, I decided to cast off my worldly possessions (or clean house and put the rest in storage) and head out for a short-term, open-ended adventure in NYC. This month I celebrated 15 years of living in Austin, and 15 years of being out of the closet. That also means I've lived in Texas all my life and Austin for half of it. Time to see the world! There are more extensive travel plans for next year, but this trip is a much needed journey of growth and self-discovery (or creation).
I'll be reporting from the field, and I am elated to tell you that there will be several mixes posted throughout the summer. I've been hard at work reconstructing past summer mixes from 13 years ago to the present, and there's new material as well, naturally. First up is Summer in the City, a sort of follow-up to 2007's Hot Child in the City. This will be my soundtrack for pounding the pavement in the Big Apple, but it works great for any hot, urban, spraying fire hydrant, popsicle melting, dancing in the street, movin' on up kinda day. Try it yourself!
And remember, money can't buy you class. Elegance is learned, my friends.
