I know it must have been a good night, because this morning I realized I forgot to close my bar tab, and left my credit card at the PO (will take care of that, Dave and Rebecca)! Great crowd, great turnout, and also--from my observation--a bit of a throwback to one of the most memorable events I ever attended: Exoticon in 1995 at the Park Plaza Hotel (Elks Lodge) in LA, with Senor Amor and Cyrano being joined by Strike from Luxuria, one of the organizers of Exoticon along with Otto, and the Millionaire from Combustible Edison was also in the house for a while. I definitely knew I was at an epicenter of exotica music when eavesdropping on an off-air conversation between Jim Bacchi and Cyrano about the intricate details of Gene Rains LPs. Hopefully the Molotov crew can do more of these radio remotes. Even better would be a TV show, as there were some incredible visuals--including some impressive rug cutting by Crazy Al and KXLU's Yolanda which would have been worthy of the ballroom radio remotes in the days of the big bands!
