Hey everybody...just wanted to share some feedback on the Mushroom Jazz
tour date in Atlanta... check out what this cat had to say (spelling &
grammar errors included- keep it real!)... and to all of you who have
supported OM and Mushroom Jazz and continue to do so- thank you from the
entire OM crew!
New news: Blue Boy Moves up to #21 on the Billboard Dance Club play
chart and remains on the Billboard Dance retail chart with an increase
in sales by 6% from the previous week (even with the UPS strike putting
a major dent in the works)!!!

Thanks again to everyone for helping this success to continue!

peace,
kiri eschelle

>>I haven't written in a long time and I thought I would add my two cents in
>>today. I went to Atlanta thinking I would have the time of my life since the
>>BT tour and Mark Farina's tour was in town. Well, BT tour was bullshit, at
>>least to me. I could not get my groove off b/c first BT and 808 stat was not
>>present and the club closed at 4 am. I was not told or even knew anything
>>about these factors when I decided to go to Atlanta. The fact that the two
>>main preformers were not there really sucked. I did see MOBY but wasn't
>>really impressed. However, jungle room was good and Loop Guru blow shit up.
>>I
>>was very upset by this party especially since it cost $30 dollars for what I
>>don't know. All in all the party sucked and I lost money and time. However,
>>Mark Farina at Club Kaya was the shit!!!!!!! He was fantastic and it only
>>cost $10 dollars. He spun from 1130 pm to 530am. Club Kaya was excellent and
>>I would have paid $50 dollars for that party. Great vibe and great music. I
>>didn't want to leave. Send a shot out to Mark Farina whereever you are that
>>you made my weekend in Atlanta the bomb!!!!!! His set made up for the shitty
>>party BT tour on Friday. Seeing Mark Farina on Saturday made up for the
>>bullshit fustration that went on on Friday. Much thanks to him and his live
>>vocalist, I don't know her name (Marlena Shaw) but everyone knows sho she is
>>from the
>>Mushroom Jazz CD. She was excellent and well worth any time or money to
>>hear.
>>Much thanks to Club Kaya and I will return to party there again. Much thanks
>>to all the Nashville kids that I hooked up with in Atlanta. You know who you
>>are. Thanks Brad Robinson, love you kid!!!!!!
