[DCFREAKS] midnightdc] MIDNIGHT, 4/28--DuJour, Panic, Solaries, SMP CD promo, The Silver Phoenix

[DJ Panic]

If you haven't made it out to Midnight lately you've
missed some 
damned good parties, and this Saturday's will
definitely be another...

IN THE DJ BOOTH

The music this week comes courtesy of three DJs who're
request 
friendly and always rate well with the Midnight crowd:

* DuJour is one of the residents at the Monday night
'80s Party at 
The Blue Iguana in Fairfax. One of new generation of
scene DJs we 
helped to train and debut, she's also guested at The
Dawning in 
Charlottesville and Bound. You can get an advance
taste of DuJour's 
musical preferences by checking out her Internet radio
station 
(www.live365. com/stations/ djdujour) .

* Panic is a D.C. goth scene veteran, and he's run or
spun at just 
about every serious local event in years. Currently a
resident DJ at 
Bound, he's also the man behind Midian's various
incarnations 
(see "Upcoming Events" below for news on the latest
one). Panic has 
also done guest spots all over, most recently for
clubs in New 
England and upstate N.Y.

* Solaries is a DJ name that's almost legendary in the
Baltimore/D. C. 
gothic scene. A past resident for us, Alchemy,
Ambrosia, Midian, 
etc., she's also made guest appearances at far-flung
events such as 
the Philly mega-party Nocturne and Convergence in San
Diego. Equally 
at home spinning '80s classics and the newest material
you'll find at 
Strangeland Records, she--and her two fellow guest DJs
this week--
will definitely get you out onto the dance floor!

CD RELEASE PARTY FOR "A MURDEROUS MIX"

We're also hosting a CD release party, courtesy of the
group SMP, 
for "A Murderous Mix," an interesting compilation that
will probably 
appeal to those of you who favor more aggressive and
industrial 
music. Featuring several selections from SMP's
forthcoming disc "The 
Treatment," it also includes noteworthy tracks from
bands such as 
Lucid Dementia, The Punk Group, and Labwrk. We'll be
playing a few 
songs from it, plus giving away pics, posters, and a
couple of AMM 
copies (in the drawing). For more info, check out
www.smphq.com or 
www.musicration. com

ON THE VENDING FRONT

The Silver Phoenix (www.silverphoenix. chaosmagic.
com) will be vending 
again on the 28th, and that means you can expect
another spectacular 
display of handmade jewelry, plus massage oils,
perfumes, and much 
more. It's great stuff at very reasonable prices, so
be sure to stop 
by their tables at some point during the evening.

In addition, DJ Solaries will have tickets for the
sure-to-sell- out 
18+ show at The Depot in Baltimore on Friday, July 20.
Who's 
playing? The lineup includes Red This Ever, High Blue
Star, and, in 
a rare U.S. appearance, Attrition, plus three DJs.
It's early, but 
if you're at all interested in attending this event it
would 
definitely be wise to buy in advance! (See "Upcoming
Events" for 
more details.)

DRAWING, B'DAYS, & OTHER GOODIES

Okay, sounds neat, we can imagine some of you
thinking--but will 
there be free stuff?! Is the Pope Catholic? Does the
bear defecate 
among the trees? This is Midnight, after all...

Fill out one of the drawing slips on our literature
table when you 
arrive, drop it into the nearby cauldron, and you'll
be eligible to 
win one of this week's prizes. We've got CDs from
Qntal and 
Cassandra Syndrome (myspace.com/ cassandrasyndrom
e--performing live at 
Midnight on May 5!), as well as "A Murderous Mix" (see
above) and a 
copy of the latest issue of GOTHIC BEAUTY (which
includes a Midnight 
ad with the always fabulous Sasha as the model).
Thanks as always to 
our friends at Strangeland Records (www.strangelandrec
ords.com) for 
their contribution.

Last week DJ Panic kindly contributed some promotional
stuff for the 
new film "The Condemned" to us. While the movie passes
were quickly 
snapped up, a couple of the T-shirts got overlooked.
If you'd like 
one of those, just ask Scott.

Since the federal government, our constant friend and
protector when 
it comes to evil dietary stuff and unhealthy food
additives, recently 
declared that too much sugar is bad for you, we'll
only be serving 
celery and carrot sticks in the future. Yeah, right.
Look for free 
cake around 12:10 to help Severian, Vergil, and Susie
celebrate their 
b'days. Best wishes also to Shanon, Rachel, Christine,
and Kaht, one 
or more of whom may also join us.

Drop in early and you may get some extra benefits. Our
first dozen 
guests each Saturday never pay any cover, there's a
tray of mixed 
candy left out on a table near the entrance to the
Back Hall 
(location of our secure coat and bag check), and The
Meeting Place's 
top-notch bartenders serve up two-for-one drinks the
first hour we're 
open. Hungry after all that dancing? Check with your
bartender for 
a copy of the latest hot and cold food menu, served
until 1:00 a.m. 
And don't forget that TMP always offers both bottled
water and Red 
Bull.

Come down to Midnight this Saturday, and hang out with
all your old 
friends and the many new faces we're attracting. It's
going to be a 
wonderful night to party! Don't forget, too, that
we've scheduled a 
live show on May 5 by Cassandra Syndrome...
