People of LUSH!!!!
The Spring/Summer edition of my legendary club LUSH, established in the 90's in San Francisco, but recently re-born in LA, is soon upon us again!!!!
This only happens twice a year, and this one on Memorial Day weekend will be bringing together the finest spinning rotators from both SF and LA, along with the incredible sexy Midnight Cabaret.
This one should shimmy, shake, twist and shout until the very wee hours at the funky, fabulous HM157, in glorious Lincoln Heights!

THIS JUST IN.....LA WEEKLY Pick of Memorial Day Weekend!!!!
"This will be a music mix to get down-and-dirty to. We’re talking '70s porno soundtracks, '50s Italian twist, '60s go-go stomps, Euro-frug, filmic funk jams and more wonderfully weird and grindy goodies. DJs from both S.F. and L.A., including Señor Amor, Javi-en-Rose and DJ Otter-pops doing the damage. The bash’s bodacious midnight cabaret (a staple at the original soiree) will sex things up with provocative performances and sounds to keep the energy — and your eyes — popping, all emcee'd by Ableson.
A house party full of friends you might not know when you walk in but will remember forever after, Lush should live up to its name in more ways than one." -LINA LECARO, LA Weekly
