there's a pretty large deep and tech house scene here, but its all
during the week. weekenders bring more money, so places like soma and
moda put on dj's who spin the humpty dance and michael jackson to
please the out-of-towners.
john schenk (or however its spelled) is supposed to be the new curator
for some bar on east market, which will guarantee some decent stuff.
are you part of the crowd that throws the monthly with sean? if not,
that makes a whopping 2 idm monthlies.
