Coming up on our 9 year anniversary doing Hipshaker in Minneapolis. It's exciting! were weekly the first few years but moved it to once a month.
in the first few years i was a dancing freak. now i've been gaining a few pounds and keep the shaking to a minimum.

i could see myself doing this with a walker at 90

    does a radio show count?

    '96-'00 two weekly nights in NYC and a monthly in Philly from '97-'00

    '00-'05 twice-a-month night in Berlin (which has been continued by a friend and is still going strong to today)

    '05-'08 sporadic nights in Conakry, Guinea, sometimes weekly but with long brakes due to not being home half the time.

    '08-present sporadic nights in NYC, I'm out of town too much to hold down a regular night and also have begun to enjoy recreational listening at home way more that spinning at a club. Having always promoted my own nights, I don't feel like spending my nights going out, passing around flyers to people half my age...

    Gotta respect my friend Mr. Finewine who's been doing a weekly at the same spot for 16 years now!

    Soul and reggae night, 10 years this September.
    Took me eight years to expand the format beyond 1980.

    We are celebrating 10 years of Soul Stew at the Goodfoot on April 22nd. I haven't been a regular for 5 years but will be there spinning for the party.

    I do a minimum of 3 gigs a week, but sometimes it's up to 6 or 7 a week... definitely more like a job than a hobby thesedays... find it harder to enjoy music, that's for sure...

  • Been doing a monthly for about 9 or so months now. Maybe longer. But I've been spinning out since I turned 21, so it's a lil over 2 years now.

    I play disco monthly at the gay bar by my house. That's about it these days.
