Happy B-day to JAX! Pizza Party TODAY @ Silverlake Lounge!

TIME TO PARTAYYYYYY!

Come celebrate the birth of Ashley Jex (aka JAX aka the ROCKINSIDER) who has been a friend of mine since she moved here from UTAH.

We both worked at KROQ together, both had a similar path actually . . . going from KROQ to Capitol Records and so forth.

We have been doing Hell Ya! Nights together from the beginning, which is now almost 2 1/2 yrs old!

we have both changed hairstyles to match our moods, both been hated on for being young & determined, both in the music biz for the right reasons: to promote good music.

now we both have our own indie labels, both still work at major record labels, and it seems our goals are in reach - - love you jax, thanks so much for all that you do. you are a true friend and a constant inspiration - so proud of you w/ JAXART. so excited with the things to come!!! HELL YA!

COME CELEBRATE!

JAX BDAY PIZZA PARTY! TODAY @ SILVERLAKE LOUNGE. STARTS NOW! (get there early!)

See you there!!!

Afterwards, I'l be heading to both Spaceland to see THE FEATURES, and ending up at the THE SMELL to see my fav. LA band THE MAE-SHI! This will be their last LA show before heading to SXSW to play 16 SHOWS! WTF!?!!?! 16???? That is just INSANITY. Looks like they might be 'the it band' of this years SXSW. (which i am NOT attending this year - first time actually!) I'm going to be here in LA - on a mini-vaca - getting organized, mani-pedi's, watching endless episodes of 30 rock and Arrested Developement etc...... I can't wait!!!

stay tuned for a recap of last nights HELL YA! @ the ROXY, and THURSDAY nights Girl School/HELL YA! @ the VIPER ROOM. I have photos coming soon! YAY

Everybody's going to LOVE TODAY! If you don't like this song, or Mika himself, then you are either: a) reading the wrong music blog, b) don't like pop music, c) hate smiling, d) all of the above. :)
