Pocket Pleasure Presents: OSCAR NIGHT @ The Donovan House [Zentan]

The Pocket Gays and myself are teaming up again to bring you the bestest and gayest Oscar Night Party known to man (the men in DC at least).  We will have live coverage of the Oscar's this Sunday, February 27th at Zentan (the restaurant at the Donovan House).


The party starts at 6pm with DJ sets by the Pocket Gays and myself while we watch scenes from the Red Carpet.  Zentan is offering their Happy Hour Menu all night long, as well as $50.00 Moet Buckets (4 splits), $8.00 Copola Splits, $8.00 Cava.  Sushi and wings will also be available in case you get hungry.

Think you know who is going to win at this year's Oscars?  Submit your picks for this year's winners in our very own Oscar Pool.  Do well and you could win prizes such as a $50 gift certificate to Zentan plus drink tickets and free cover to upcoming events in DC.

At 8pm, we'll have live audio and video on the big screen in the main room as the Oscar's begin.  Music provided by the DJs will continue in the back room, where flat screens will have the Oscar's on with closed captioning.  During commercials, the DJ sets will be played in the entire restaurant.

Maison's 1-Year Birthday Celebration

There's a lot to celebrate at Maison next Thursday.  First of all, it gave me a reason to stop being lazy and keep up with this blog.  Secondly, it marks our return to Napoleon Bistro Lounge, where it all began.  And most importantly, this month we celebrate Maison's 1-Year Anniversary.

Check back for updates on drink specials and a preview mix!

still looking for NYE plans?

Here are some last minute NYE ideas that are not sold out, will be fun, and will be easy to get to even in bad weather.  Also- these are no gimmicks types of NYE events:

First Up: DJ TMY @ Vinoteca
I'll be spinning in the upstairs lounge from 11:00pm-3:00am at Vinoteca (11th and U Street NW) on NYE. I stopped by there today and the place is going to be really cool.  Tickets are normally $75- but if you book through me, I can get you a special price of $50 for full open bar, complimentary champagne all nite, and a midnight snack buffet!  There are also other tickets available for a full-course meal starting earlier in the nite if you're into that sort of thing.

If you want the special TMY price for Vinoteca, call this number, ask for Paul, and say you're with me: 202-332-9463. OR leave a comment on this blog post and I'll take care of it for you!

I'll be playing my full arsenal: hip hop, pop, throwbacks, nu-disco, bmore club, house- should be fun!

Second Up: Chris Burns @ Science Club
Science Club is a really cool place to DJ and they have awesome vegetarian food.  Chris Burns- one of DC's best- is hosting a crew of DJs here this NYE.  The nite features a no cover or a $25 open bar special- not a bad deal!

Next Up: NYE @ Duplex Diner
I often like to retreat to the Duplex during big going out nites in DC- it's a guarantee for all locals, no lameness fun.  Aaron Riggins and I think my boy from Indy Drew Anderson will be DJing.  Not sure who else though, but ... SHhhh.. I may be making a surprise appearance here at some point in the nite- so look out for that too!

Last Up: SHIFT: The End is NYE @ Cobalt

This party is always super fun, the music is always fun to dance to, and tickets are only $10!  DJ MAJR (Mickey Adolphson and Aaron Riggins) will be heading this one up- at $10, this could easily be a party you start your night off at or end up at!

LIVE FROM THE DINER: DJ TMY- CB RADIO ON LATER

go to your itunes- go to advanced- go to open audio stream and put in this url

http://68.50.217.163:8000/listen.m3u

if that doesn't work, try this one:

http://10.0.1.18:8000/listen.m3u

then you can listen to what we're playing, betch

finally decided on a name

Yo- so I've settled on a DJ name finally.. after flirting w/ DJ Tommy, DJ T-CO (love this one, Sean-Ye), and others... I think I've decided to cop the whole The Management goes MGMT over-popular vowel reduction trend and take up DJ TMY... but mostly because it rhymes with TMI.

Oh, and DJ TMY is still a part of CB Radio (w/ Bradley Shurman) coming at you this Thursday night at The Diner after the Jeffrey Self show at Busboys and Poets on 14th St. If you want to go to Jeffrey Self's show called People I Slept With Who Never Called Me Back People- click here. He's a HILARIOUS blogger/comedian/wit-titian so definitely check out his blog and his act in DC.

Also in the works is a DJ'ing at a pool deck party at the Capitol Skyline Hotel all summer long- more details to be announced soon- but it's a sick spot right by Nats Stadium and will be a super fun happy hour/pool time night out on Thursdays.

If you haven't already figured out that The Cool Kids dropped their new mixtape today- it's a must download. You can get it HERE
