The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

Hugs, Kisses & Spandex

Back to Sonotheque I headed this past Friday night for the monthly Spandexxx party featuring Heartsrevolution, Rocktapussy & Team Bayside High. Prior to Sonotheque, though, I stopped by Crocodile for the weekly XOXO party with Hey Champ manning the DJ booth. You can check out XOXO each Friday at Crocodile and the next Spandexxx on May 22nd with Lauren Flax, SR-71 and myself, Just Desserts! playing the jams! As always, click the links below to see all the photos!

Long night: FlyByNight, Crocodile, Empire..

Was nothing short of an epic night.. there have been a few of those lately. Willy's monthly party went down at Debonair with Tittsworth headlining. There was a bit of a snow storm going on but a surprising amount of people were still out and about. One of New York City's best bars just got a new Chicago location. The place is called Crocodile and the deal is you get a free pizza with a drink order and damn are those pizzas delicious! I went back a few nights later and the bartender seemed super annoyed about the pizza deal and only gave us two pizzas for three people/drinks, so we'll see how it goes. Oh, and Jason Tyler is programming the music over there so expect to see a DJ set from me once a month or so! First gig is Saturday Jan 2nd 2009!

Along with all that goodness it was Major Taylor's birthday and he was spinning over at Empire. Too much to do and all on one city block! Oh and of course we all headed to Flatiron after the 2am's closed down.. yeah, I know.
