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.
