It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you.

I have been neglecting Chocolate Milk for a while, but blame it on my head and not my heart. I am starting a new (creative) gig on Monday, and I have been traveling the globe, well the DC area, searching for cool events to tell you about.

Here is a line up from Friday to Monday.

Friday: The Hirshhorn's Art Night. The tickets are selling out fast though, so if you wanna go, get your tickets right now here.

Saturday: Dissident Display is having a crazy all night Loft party that ends at 5AM! (DJ) Adrian Loving just got back from the Winter Music Conference in Miami and he and a host other hot DJ's are going to show off their skills! For more information or to RSVP email Dissident Display.

If that is too much for you, check out the Money Earnin' Mount Vernon event at the Scion House in BMore. DJ Two Tone Jones will be spinning and there will be complimentary (free) beer and wine.
I just saw some of the installations, and all I have to say is that them AM Radio cats got talent!

Sunday: Lay around and watch reruns of What's Happening.

Monday: Saul Williams is performing at the 930 Club!

There ya' have it. Three events to keep you busy until Tuesday! I will be at the Hirshhorn on Friday, and the Scion house on Saturday, so if you're a reader introduce yourself; I wanna meet you!

Happenings Around Town

Art Whino is slowly but surely putting themselves on the radar with their contemporary art exhibits and art classes. The classes are their newest venture and cost between $400- $600. A little pricey in my opinion, but if Gocco printing, and stencil art is your thing, then I guess it’s worth it. I’m sure you are wondering what the hell Gocco printing is; I Googled it and Gocco Printing is a Japanese printing technique done with a small, table top, plastic looking apparatus. It’s supposed to be a good alternative to screen printing.

This Saturday (12/29/07) the guys at Dissident Display are having a holiday dance party with booze and hot DJ’s. The invite, which I received via Myspace bulletin, informed party goers to give monetary donations for “great holiday beverages”. So, I’m guessing there will not be an abundance of alcoholic drinks, unless you plan on coughing up some cash. The party will be at their gallery/art space, if you need directions or the address just visit them here

I know this is supposed to be an arts and events blog, but I refuse to list all the parties, ceremonies, and orgies taking place on New Years Eve. As I’m sure you know, every venue with a bar and a sound system will be hosting some type of event, so just take your pick from the vast array of over stimulation.

See you in ’08!
