    explainitis...)

    Before we begin, we the BEST KEPT gyals --Dalia and Venus--send out much =
    MUCH love to all that reached down to the 8th Anniversary party this =
    past Monday. All of you made it one of the most memorable evenings =
    we've ever had! The place was hot, people were working the dancefloor, =
    the tunes were dope, and everyone was feeling the balloons! We've =
    already gushed our thank yous to these people directly, but it doesn't =
    hurt to gush a little bit more: Chocolate for the dope reggae cuts that =
    set us at ease at the start of the night; Mel Boogie for the fresh hip =
    hop that had our hands in the air every time the next tune dropped; =
    Mike Tull for some seriously hot tweaky platter selections; Paul E Lopes =
    for the heavy dancefloor action; Andrew Masuda for the conscious easing =
    of the eve; Masia One and Sunny D for freaking some rhymes live =
    ('Popular Girls' for real!); Symbolik Music Crew for blessing the mic =
    with some BEST KEPT call-and-response; the SheBang! breakers for getting =
    nice on the dancefloor; and of course each one of you that came through =
    the front door. We raised a lot of cash for CHRY's upcoming fundraising =
    drive! Thank you thank you thank you for making the night so =
    special...we feel so inspired and rejuvenated from all the love. =
    Special thanks to Denise Benson for the wonderful article in last =

    Fearless Vampire Killers/Fatski show going down at Sneaky Dee's, right =
