Bionic B-B-Beats

This was just what I needed. I danced and danced and danced. Gary Justice and buddies were throwing down some great beats. Daniel Yaryan was playing host, very Hefneresque. Above the dance floor they had a film installation of old cartoons from the sixties. The walls were covered with Warhol and Beat posters and plastic action figures. Before I arrived, they had a poetry reading circle. I was told by several people about how great it was. One person even acted out for me a poem they had heard. There were bikers selling hotdogs for some kind of charity and all kinds of people partying outside. The venue was in an industrial area in Van Nuys, very near the airport. The last place one would expect to find such a cool happening. Gary Justice has a website, http://www.garyjustice.com/so check it out and sign up for his mailing list. You will definitely want to go to the next Bionic Beats and dance, dance, dance.
