Well, all right! Here we go! Chris Hingel is working on the new magazine. I’m covering any mistakes I may have made. Picking up more flyers tonight. Posting some posters around Astoria and coming back to do some more work and the festival hasn’t even started yet.

I spoke with Justin this morning and he informed me that we acquired a new sponsor. More info on who they are will be posted later but either way – this is good news. As I’ve learned from this event and past ones that I’ve been involved with, they are expensive. Yes, sir/ma’am, they are but when it comes together (as they always do), it’s worth it. We’ll also have t-shirts available at the event so support the cause and buy one. I’ll find out the price later tonight.

On The Whiskey Dregs front…I’ll be running some kind of marathon this weekend and I don’t mean running for a trillion miles. I’m calling this weekend my Rockstar Weekend. Friday night, going out with my friends to celebrate my birthday then we’re off to Saturday and the glorious festival that it will be. MC Astoria Music Now! the whole day. Then the after-party. After the after-party, I’m leaving to go to Brooklyn to DJ at another after-party from 7AM-10AM and then I’m sure there will be a lot of hijinx taking place after that. *If anyone cares to join me on this strange quest, email me. I’ll need a motivator. I’m training myself for this, guys.

At the end of all of this, I have to wonder…what the f*%k is The Whiskey Dregs really about? My current explanation is that it’s the creative process of living, expressing and sharing with others our experiences that make up the sweet sections of life. Sounds good?

Again, I have to thank Justin, Evelyn and every one else involved for this opportunity. They’re really pulling together for this special event and it’s cool that they have allowed me to be a part of it. A HUGE thanks to them.

Peace out on PCP,

Carlos Detres
