Eurotrash Before the Madness

Thanks to Republic GM Steve Brooks (guy on the right – pink shirt,
massive fake boner) for these pre-party shots of some staff and truly awful
lighting in the Eurotrash tradition. The theme was a smash, looking forward
to next year’s bash already.

HEAVY WEEK!

Heavy week for events coming up, mark your calendars cause 3 of the best in the biz are rolling thru town

Birthday Sex? Not on the patio!

So Lil Weirdo Wayne cancelled his concert last-minute and left his support acts stranded in Vancouver, trolling for weed and women.

Smooth-ass newcomer Jeremih dropped by Republic and did an impromptu version of his hit “Birthday Sex”.  Needless to say, wet panties and Patron shots ensued…

DJ AM. Biggest show of 09?

Yes, DJ AM is coming very soon. We’ve had this one booked for a while but it still seems like it’s happening too fast. When you add in the Team Canada DJs, Matty C and Dana D this show is so freakin talent-heavy that it warms my ice-cold heart. Tickets have been flying and the first round of early birds are sold out. They’re only gonna get more expensive, kids. Cop ‘em now at

And no, there is no guest list so don’t try to sweet talk me.

DJ AM + a bunch of Canuck talent

1997 all over again…

Here’s a good shot of Eric, Rick and Mike with Kanye while Spike Jonze was filming his new video recently somewhere in LaLa Land. I remember the guys were cast in the ‘Benjamins’ video when Spike was working with egomaniac Puff Daddy Combs. I was getting daily updates (on my landline – it was 1997) about how crazy the shit was. The shoot was one big party and pretty much all the Girl Skateboards dudes had little cameos. 12 years later: same deal, different egomaniac. Pretty rad shot, thanks Tone. I hear the video’s gonna be dope which is cool because Kanye’s new album sure isn’t. And I’m not hatin’ – I dig Kanye – but everyone blows it once in a while.

Girls dudes. Only time in suits since Tony's wedding

Peanut Butter Jams

PBW was ill Nov 25…like a video dance party circa 1990. This video SL shit is the retro wave of the future…shouts to the Elsewhere crew, Kenny Mac & Red Bull and Nina ‘muthaphukkin’ Mendoza.

Peanut Butter Wolf. Serato Video SL. 'Nuff said

I’d be lying if I told you I was super over-the-moon stoked on every event we do/night we have/DJ that comes to town. I’d be lying, straight up. But this one I’m hyped on: Peanut Butter muthafukkin Wolf doing some video edit live shit that will blow your socks off. In Republic’s new DJ booth. With The Elsewhere crew. Video screens everywhere, Red Bull and booze. Huge shouts to Kenny Mac, Livestock and Dose.ca. Holler for g list:

SNL Halloween

I’ve had this idea for years of doing a Saturday Night Live themed dress-up party (not necessarily on Halloween). Next Friday Republic is doing it – sort of – and I’m stoked:

I wonder how many people are going to come as Buckwheat. I bet half the staff. What is it with people wanting to wear afro wigs? I’ve had an afro and the shit sucks. Ask Erykah Badu, the shit sucks. Btw, how does her neck not snap like a twig wearing that thing? It’s like Angela Davis times 5…anyway, a bunch of people wearing afros may be suspect but at least the source material was pure hilarity:
