Disco D - new flickr page, more.

An update on the latest in Dave's ongoing memory.

-The Neutral Zone unveiled their excellent live performance space, the B-Side and revamped recording studio last month, much of which was acquired from your donations and goodwill. The night featured a variety of live performances from One.Be.Lo, Great Lakes Myth Society, Fred Thomas, James T. Cotton, etc. and a touching speech by Dave's father.

You can keep up with the live performance schedule at the B-Side here:

The studio space is shown here:

-You can see a couple pics of the B-Side event and the mural painted in Dave's honor at this Flickr page. I set up this group for anyone to share any pictures/flyers/etc that reminds you of Dave or to just stop by and have a look. It makes me sad, but also helps to stay connected to Dave by remembering good memories with him. If any photos are mis-credited or you would like removed, please let me know.

-There have been a slew of high profile articles that have come out recently in Penthouse, Spin and the Village Voice, some have failed to fully represent Dave's spirit, but the fact of their existence is evidence of the amount of lives that Dave has touched.

-Also here are two great DJ mixes of Dave's here to download if you haven't already:

DOWNLOAD: Disco D - Live @ Nouveau Casino, Paris (mp3)

More to come in the new year. Feel free to email me any updates you may have about Dave or thoughts/pics/etc.

Have a good holiday and let's keep what Dave taught us close to heart, you are never too busy for your loved ones.
