Vancouver and Rony and Lindsay’s and Aoki Lawsuits Oh My.
Posted by Skeet Skeet on January 14, 2008
So today I went tobogganing with my girls the Lindsay’s, Louis (Fake Shark! Real Zombie) and Rony and his girlfriend Lauren. We went to Seymour mountain in West Vancouver, and it was awesome. I bought some boots and snow-pants for SUNDANCE ON SATURDAY. Also after Sundance I go to Miami with the Boys.

I come back tomorrow and do this Private event at StoneRose all I know is it’s some “celebrity driven” thang so that means more clubby club mainstream tunes. Then according to my booking agent thursday i’m linking up with Katy P’s fav Travis from Gym Class and we’re going to Kristin Cavalarris’ bday that I’m DJing. Friday is San Francisco also. Man this is the most scatterbrained blog post ever let’s get to the highlights and low-lights on the internet.

I literally just caught myself writing a text that read “OMG, if you are going to read one mass email this year, this is it. Trust me.”

Preface: I love both parties involved equally. I just find this funny. I love djs. I love gays. In closing, I love all gay djs equally, even franki and steve.
I like two types of drama. I like drama that does not involve me and drama between boys. This excerpt from the iheartcomix email blast-on-blast today has both of those things.
Those that pay attention to me, are aware i detest mass emails. But a few actual email readers reccomended me opening this. They promised me it would be worth it.
It was.
It had only been 8 months since the final break-up of myself and my former DJ/event partner, STEVE AOKI, and the launch of our then new and purposefully competing weekly TUESDAY night party, CHECK YO’ PONYTAIL. Our first two records on our record label, MATT & KIM and PROTOKOLL, were only 2 months old. TRAVIS and I had been in LOS ANGELES for 3 years and we still didn’t have a functional website.
A lot has changed since then, we come to the beginning of the new year, bigger than ever and ready to take on the next larger and looming challenges. Despite the efforts of said previous DJ/events partner, STEVE AOKI, to surpress our existence to the world using his greater fame, greater wealth and influence to pressure publications not to write about me/us (yes, we know, NYLON and BPM), pressuring friends and former friends to either not be our friend or work with us (RONYS PHOTOBOOTH, ROYAL RUMBLE, among several others) by threatening them a loss of pay or acceptance into his circle, pressuring THE COBRASNAKE to jettison our friendship almost immediately upon our break-up and consequently, or maybe voluntarily, erasing mine and close friends out of existence on the website and blatantly lying in advertising to steer people away from our events (it’s documented in one instance on thefader.com, HERE ), we’ve been able to make it out at the top of our game, unafraid of the future, unafraid to speak and armed for the wave of shit to come.
We fought tooth and nail this year to stake our claim in the hearts and minds of the kids of LOS ANGELES, of the kids of the world, in pop culture itself. We work harder than everyone you know to bring you the best shit you’ve ever seen. Even rich kids, jealous of the taste they don’t have, couldn’t stop us. We moved to LA with nothing, began 2007 on our knees with a plan, and ended standing tall ready to climb the mountain and secure our spot at the top. This is the IHEARTCOMIX YEAR IN REVIEW.
oh snap, franki. wah waaa?!?
This is the exact copy from my bulletin. Those fuckers at Sejour now want to me to take down my bulletin and want to take “action” against me?
I’ll fucking laugh in their uptight newport asses. Get the fuck over yourself, learn how to run a venue and pay the promoters right.
Andrew / Chris you’re good dudes don’t let those fucks tell you what’s up.
I just want to apologize to all the kids who came out to have a good time and had to deal with the fucking idiots who run Sejour in Newport beach.
Aaron and I came down because we heard a lot of good things about the place, and we wanted to see what Orange County thought about some electronic dance music.
Needless to say a lot of you were having a great time, and dancing the night away. Thanks so much again.
Then the fucking tools who run that place decided that 12:45 was a good “last call time”, and that they should kill our master right as we were getting into our money stuff.
WHAT KIND OF A FUCKING CLUB CLOSES AT 12:45??? AND WHAT KIND OF A STAFF JUST CUTS OUR MASTER AND DOESN’T EVEN WARN US.
Fake ass orange county clubs.
Whatever though. I got paid, I met a lot of cool kids. And I put some Cobrasnake stickers on their shitty furniture.
BUT FOR REALS ALL OF YOU DOPE KIDS WHO WERE GETTING DOWN COME HANG OUT WITH ME AGAIN. JUST NOT AT SEJOUR.
I love your guts.

So Karen O made a little present for TVOTR’s very own Dave Sitek. A litte home recorded demo deally. She gave it to him. He left it in a suitcase in his apartment that someone found, stole and then proceeded to dig through. Finding the demo and leaking that shit all over the interweb.
if you care more then you should really just read the story on STEREOGUM. Scott’s got it covered.
