Bootie Paris ... most favorite A+D set ever?

OH MY FUCKING GOD. Bootie Paris was off the hook!

D and I were having major flashbacks to Bootie SF when we used to be at the Cherry Bar. It was a super-fun, tight-knit scene, obviously a bunch of regular mashup fans, but also many curious first-timers as well.

The downstairs dance room was a hot, sweltering sauna, with the walls dripping -- just like Cherry Bar used to be. And upstairs, it was a French bootlegger convention! If a meteor were to strike La Mechanique Ondulatoire that night, it would have wiped out nearly the entire French mashup scene: DJs Comar, Zebra, Totom, Reno, LeClown, Sebwax, Phatbastard, Grandpamini, Mighty Mike ... am I forgetting anyone?

We are sooooo proud of Comar and his co-promoter Jam, who have worked so hard to make the Bootie Paris party a reality. The crowd was super into it, jumping up and down, singing along. WOW.

It was just one of those magical sets where even technical problems became assets -- for example, we weren't sure how we were going to transition out of Lobsterdust's "Disco Rump Chant" ... and then the sound cut out due to a faulty cable. Perfect! The crowd was there, screaming their support ... and when we kicked the set back in with "Celeshake" the place erupted. We love it when a sound fuck-up makes our set better!

Here are some pix:

In the afternoon, we met DJ LeClown, and The A+D "Gettin' Drunk in Europe" Tour continued! BTW, each of these biers is $12. Ouch! We hate the euro to dollar exchange rate!
Comar and Mysterious D at sound check, playing with his new Pioneer CDJ-400s which are soooooo sweeeeet! D couldn't stop playing with the beat stutter effect (or whatever it is) and you know how I LOVE my flanger "wah" effect! We really want to trade in our old pair of Pioneer 800s for these!
Loved meeting bootlegger Totom and midnight mashup show star Grandpamini!
The midnight mashup show particularly rocked ... hot, sweaty rock 'n' roll madness!
Comar and D, wearing the famous "Grandpamini glasses"Frank from Bootie Munich came to Bootie Paris! Here he is with his Parisian counterpart, Jam! Comar & Jam are the Bootox & Frank, and vice versa. Even before we met them, we knew we had to get the Bootie Paris and Munich boys together, and ever since they met a few months ago, they've been exchanging trade secrets ever since.
We heart DJ Reno -- one of the most energetic DJs we've ever met ... and he knows just what to do to get the crowd fired up!
Drunk shot at the end of the party: Zebra, Reno, Adrian, Frank, and Grandpamini on the bottom. Woo-hoo!
