As best described in bullet points by Daniel Gritzer in his Time Out New York magazine article. …

I was walking across the Galata bridge late at night in Istanbul when I ran into a very old Turkish man wearing this hat.  It was unreal that someone that old could be wearing such a cool hat. I don’t mean to say anything agist, but I was not in San Francisco you know, I am just saying.  I went up and talked to him, his name was Salman and he spoke no English, but he could tell I liked his hat and the guy was obviously pretty cool and …

At any central market and in many corner stores in Lima and around Peru, you can now find superstitious lucky soap product, Jabon Ruda.  It claims the soap is derived from a secret preparation formula from the “Palacio del Imperio” (Imperial Palace) and that Ruda has been used by pharaohs and Inca kings that attributed magical conquering powers.

Accorgding to Wikipedia, Ruda, or Common Rue, is a plant with some acknowledged medicinal properties from digestive aid to arthritis relief but also used as an abortifacient to horses and humans. It is …

I met William at a stoplight in San Isidro as he was breakdancing for money. He was literally turning on his head to earn a living. This is an example of a great Peruvian guy earning a fair buck with his talents. Support the street arts worldwide. Give William some love at bboy257@hotmail

Happy #giveprops day!  In lieu of retweeting and @replying to tweeps, blatantly tell your followers who to follow.
#giveprops to your favorite twitter personalities throughout the day by explicitly telling your followers to follow them and add ‘#giveprops’ at the end of your tweet. Presto! It’s that easy.
#giveprops will help us follow new cool twitter streams which we did not previously know about.  If someone gives you #giveprops, be honored, they enjoy your twitter company.

The last and only time I hung out at Club Oasis, I experienced my first full Dj Harvey disco odyssey and I have not been the same since.  Read about it here.  Lucky for us, the disco shaman himself, Dj Harvey, is back in the Bay to flex his groove muscles for ya at the lovely, intimate, and non-pretentious Club Oasis.  The great thing about this club is the retractable roof. Yes ladies and gentlemen, an open rooftop.  This is technically an outdoor party!

I expect mostly hardcore disco lovers in …

It was an incredible night and I would like to thank everyone who made it.  The VHS crew and myself put together a ‘vibe’ as we were told.  A lot of the success had to do with our Venue which had the perfect ambiance to create the perfect atmosphere for getting down.  We had a happy dancing crowd formed before midnight.  Enjoy this slide-show of the event.

All the djs had great sets. Kicked off my Chad Neiro, then Leonard, Jeno, Paul T, and capped off by Jesse.  We had …

The contemporary Nu Disco sub-genre of dance music is revered by people who love its graceful tempo and have experienced its strange magical dancefloor powers.  This magic returns to San Francisco on Saturday September 27th 2008 when the VHS crew and myself present Paul T along with Jeno and Leonard a non-club location.

Paul Takahashi, aka Paul T, is an underground culture trendsetter whose disco djing skills have earned him high degree accolades in the avant Nu Disco scenes.  Paul T sees  Disco through different lens.  He drops drippy filtered psychedelic …
