Moments before an event begins are some of my favorites.

Dino Disco at Boulder Creek Fest 2025
This was our fifth year doing Dino Disco at the Boulder Creek Fest’s Creekside for Kids stage withJeff & Paige. It’s always a lot of fun, one of my favorite parts of summer right there at the start of it. It’s special to play by Boulder Creek at such a beautiful time of year.
As always we were joined by Pam the Dinosaur, Pickles the Pteranodon, and as-yet-unnamed triceratops. Glad you came to dance with us!

Just a few weeks before COVID shut down the country, my wife Liz and I took our 7 and 9 year old daughters to the 50th Anniversary of The Loft, the iconic invitation-only party that contributed to the rise of disco, hip hop, and house music.
Since its founding four months before Stonewall, attendees of The Loft have come from different classes and backgrounds, with about 60% being black and 70% gay, and a radical egalitarianism.
The Loft is non-profit and has never held a liquor license. Once inside, you don’t pay for the coat check. A buffet meal is served at some point, and water, lemonade, fruit, and snacks are available throughout.
David Mancuso, The Loft’s founder, explained that he, “wanted a situation where there are no economic barriers, meaning somebody who didn’t eat that day or only has a few dollars in his pocket can eat like a king. […] There’s no difference if you have a lot of money, or a little.”
In the face of today’s challenges, building genuinely diverse, positive, vibrant, and resilient communities is one of our most urgent tasks. I think The Loft presents one practical model to adopt practices from.

We’re glad to announce that Duck La Rock will be DJing at this year’s Old Man Winter Bike Rally & Run in Lyons, CO on February 2! It’s a fun scene up there with hundreds of trail runners and gravel cyclists either setting off on an epic adventure in the hills or celebrating after a hard fought race with beer and chili. We’re pay head to provide the soundtrack. Bring the fam!
Boulder’s finest family friendly happy hour returns to the Junkyard Social Club on January 10!
We’ll be joined by our guest DJ, the one and only Iris Berkeley of KGNU, Radio 1190, Modern Jetset, and Faded Fridays.
Going forward, the 2525 Sessions will take place at the Junkyard on the 2nd Friday of each month.
Had a great time opening up the 2025 season of Faded Fridays at Asher Brewing last evening! Recordings of the full night

Thank you so much to all who came to Cheap Date this past Saturday; I hope you had as much fun as I did. Someone I deeply admire as a DJ and host, David Mancuso of The Loft, used to say that everybody at the party, makes the party. Y’all made it truly special. Thank you.
In addition, many thanks for helping to our dear friends at Alaya Preschool save a truly magical school from redevelopment. If you haven’t, give ’em a hand: SaveAlaya.org!
