We had our Donkey Punch Brokeback Mountain show at Rich’s last night. It went awesome and we had a pretty good turnout. I think it was definitely one of my favorite nights so far, at least for dressing up. I took a few photos with my camera and a few friends also took some pictures of me, which I posted below. I’m the host/MC of the night  on the microphone so I try to make sure I represent the theme. Last night I definitely think my costume came together well… especially my damn hot cow-hide cowboy boots that I bought lol. I think I make a pretty decent cowboy but you can be the judge below

That’s my BB gun

Here another pic I shot in the mirror.

The one is a little foggy because the flash bounced off the nightclub fog that gets put on the dance floor.

Here’s a shot I took of my boots… a little blurry but you get the basic idea.

I posted a few more pictures of the stage setup after the jump link below.

So for about the past year, I’ve had an alter-ego that I never really mentioned much here on my blog. My roommates and I put on and promote several shows at a local nightclub here in San Diego. During the summer, we put on the crazy and hugely popular Foam Parties, but on the second Saturday of every month we also do a show called Donkey Punch (don’t ask). We do it just for fun and it has actually turned into a really fun event to put on. Each month we have a different theme and we have a stage set and dancers etc. Last month our theme was a Toga party and this month (tomorrow) it’s called Brokeback… after the movie Brokeback Mountain, and everyone will wear cowboy hats and boots etc. 

It takes our crew almost the entire day to put the set together before the show on a Saturday night. It’s very theatrical and much different then anything else you usually find out in a nightclub. During our last setup, my roommate Dylan put his camera on a tripod and set it to snap a photo every 2 minutes during the whole day (similar to the pool time-lapse series from my earlier post). He then stitched the images together to create this video clip below. It’s really cool to see how the stage comes together right up until the club opens. You can get an idea of what goes into creating the set.

If you wanna check out our full lineup of events and/or subscribe to our email list, you can go to our promotions website at www.spincyclerinse.com. The Spin Cycle Rinse is the original name of our Foam parties and we also use it as the name of our promotion comany for our other parties.

Last Saturday night was the Rufskin spring swimwear fashion show at Rich’s nightclub in San Diego. I did the photography of the behind the scenes and the show for Rufskin. It was a lot of fun and really nice to be behind the camera again. It’s been awhile since I really did any cool photography projects. I posted the pictures to my Flickr.com account.
