The Do Lab did it again!

Its true... you really cannot set foot inside a space where the Do Lab has been spotted and not feel as though you have been whisked away to some celebratory alternate dimension where looking down, you see the Lucent Dossier kids engaged in a monkey-chant-looking ritual, and looking up, a gorgeously made-up woman on stilts brushes a feather against your cheek. Trees of light seemed to erupt from the skid row landscape and stages of pallets and speakers claimed the streets and sang with the sweetest beats you could even begin to imagine...

Arriving early, the first thing that struck me was the double-decker buses being used as shuttles. Seriously... who does that? Once through the gate and on my way to the Speaker Garden Stage for my opening set, I think the next sound that I heard was an audible GASP from Riff, who had just witnessed me passing by an entire bar without stopping to double-fist.

Seriously... it really happened. Told you. Alternate reality.

I consider myself lucky to have been able to poke around before the crowds came. I got to see the heart and veins before the blood started pumping through them.

Getting over to the stage, I put down my records and gave Jesse Wright's hard working ass a big hug and told him how sexy he looked. THEN I made note of the ENTIRE WALL OF SPEAKERS that had been constructed in the DJ booth behind me. Seriously... who does that?

As I started my set, people started to trickle in. As I continued, more people trickled in. Then it became a pour. Then... I swear to god... I bent over to rifle through my CD case, found the one I wanted, then looked back up to a damn near packed floor.

I was amazed. BOOM WOW indeed.

FURTHER... not only did the crowd show early, but that stage was packed and pumpin the entire night.

Here's some highlights:
1. Everyone that made it early to catch my set. Yer Uncle Saynt loves you.
2. Marques Wyatt's set. Seriously. KICKED ASS.
3. Imagika. Yer Uncle Saynt hasn't traditionally been a huge fan of the dub stuff. It's growing on me. It's her fault.
4. Lucent Dossier. If the world is a stage... they are the acting coaches.
5. My hot girlfriend's ass. What? Everyone else made comments about it. I should too.
6. Ianator's Stressed Out Tribe Called Quest remix. Sorry man... I'm totally stealing it.

The decor, love, and passion that went into creating the event goes without saying, nor could my saying do it justice.

Seriously... who does that? The Do Lab does.

Thank you Do Lab.
Thank you early birds.
Thank you the awesome girl that brought me water when I was playing.

See all you sexy bitches in 2 weeks in Mexico!

All love,

Yer Carnie Unkie

An Important Message from Yer Carnie Uncle Saynt...

Dearest Friends and Family -

Every year, several times a year, across multiple continents, cities, and dancefloors, a tragedy occurs. The heart-breaking puppy-dog eyes of opening DJs are rarely seen due to neglect. Playing to often empty dance floors because people come fashionably late, these noble artists play their sexiest music and pave the way for the rest of the night.

But they needn't suffer... YOU can help.

By purchasing your ticket to The Visionary Love Fest, Lucent Lamour on February 14th, and arriving by 9 to see the opening DJs, YOU can tell the world that you care. With this simple gesture, and the pursuant shaking of ass, you can sound a call in a clear voice that you will NOT send the opening DJs into the dark night alone...

Sure... throughout the night you are going to see the likes of Marques Wyatt, Z-Trip, Adam Freeland, and Random Rab... but once... they were opening DJs too...

We have included the picture of an opening DJ that needs your help. Yer Carnie Uncle Saynt will be appearing on the Speaker Garden Stage at 9pm. He will be playing his sexiest and deepest music to get you and your loved one "in the mood", and will further look sad and dejected until YOU show up.

Just look at that face...

Imagika will be opening the BOOM WOW! Stage, and Helios Jive opens the Lamour stage. They would appreciate you being there as well.

Remember with your generous purchase of a ticket to Lucent Lamour, you can provide these opening DJs with hope, inspiration, shaking buns, booze, puppies, immortality, solutions to world hunger, and world peace.

Go to Lucent Lamour's site. DO LAB automated ticket Art-bots are standing by....
www.lucentlamour.com

Remember.... Every time you shake that ass, an opening DJ Angel gets his wings....

Or something...

Thank you, and Ninja Bless...

Re-Animate this Saturday. BE THERE

So we've been thinking about brains a lot lately....

You know... how they function, what they smell like, are they better eaten with a bit of garlic, or just raw? All the Zombie essentials in preparation for RE ANIMATE this weekend. We Ninjas have a weird sort of respect for Zombies who have apparently been locked in conflict with Robots for almost as long as we've been battling the Peg-legs. So this Saturday, we'll be tossing our collective undead might behind the next ReVent party at the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa. We love playing in OC because it is a great chance to get our LA, OC, and SD members of the Clan together.

It's like a brain BUFFET! *nom nom nom*

ALSO... If you see Brian Thomas at Re-Animate, make sure to eat his brain. Alot. And welcome him into Ninja Skillz. After a long road trip, RHINES will be back at home with us. Buy him a drink. Or nosh on his gray matter. Either or.

Yer Ninja Palz want to thank all of you kids that came out to the BODYROCK Show last Saturday.

The boys pulled off a marathon set with the trademark ass shakery much in evidence!

BUT THAT WAS LAST WEEKEND... LETS TALK ABOUT THIS WEEKEND!

For starters, pretty much the whole damn clan is getting together on Friday for HOMAGE in Costa Mesa. This is rare opportunity to see all of us in action at the same place. We're right in the middle of LA and SD, so all of our family can gather at one spot.

A ton of you have been off at the Burn and we want to see YOU!!!!!!!

THEN... BodyRock and Saynt will be traveling down to San Diego to party our asses off at the Earthdance event on Saturday ( Not playing, just partying ), then we will be playing the ENDLESS SUMMER YACHT PARTY on SUNDAY that is courtesy of Sandbag and Blue.



THIS will be THE Party Weekend to help you bring a KICK ASS summer to a close. We'd love to see all of you.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our pals Adam Scenex and the Loyall Crew are putting together an event called HOMAGE at the Light Gallery in Costa Mesa on Friday the 12th. This is the most recent in a series of events that give props to assorted crews and what they do.



THIS TIME ITS US!

SO... Almost the ENTIRE NINJA SKILLZ ROSTER will be bringing our unique stylings to bear for all to shake booty to. This is going to be an insane night and your opportunity to see all of us together at once.



You know... banging beats, shaking asses, killing pirates....

This will be a gathering of all of our LA, OC, and SD families... DONT MISS OUT!

We are truly blessed living in the finest city in the world. We have the best weather, beaches, people and our summers seem endless. So to celebrate our fortune and to remind ourselves of how lucky we are, this year our grand yacht party will be a bit different. We are giving the pirates a break and will instead have a sexy day party on the yacht. So, from Sandcastle Events we cordially invite you to our fourth annual Yacht Party 'Endless Summer'.



We have quite a show for you this year. As always, nothing is more groovy than a reggae band on the top deck accompanied by the sexy Shimmy Sisters and Danyavaad. On the main decks, we are graced by super hot DJs from Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. So get into your sexy summer outfit, grab a drink on the yacht and let's celebrate one more time.



We will set sail around the San Diego Bay on Sunday September 14th with 500 of the most creative, sexy and sophisticated people around. From the top deck of "The Spirit of San Diego" yacht, the day will be overflowing with fine cocktails with the finest DJs from all over California.

4TH - LA DECOMPRESSION AFTERPARTY - DETAILS COMING SOON!!!!!!!

4th of July and FOCUS :: OC

So it seems that yer Carnie Uncle Saynt has finally managed to get his shit together and stop drooling on himself after Alma Paradiso. That was an amazing event and THANK YOU again to all who attended. As such, we're going to do what yer old Carnie Uncle does best... PARTY!!!!


JUST ADD GUMBO! July 4th @ Saynt's Pad
First, Uncle Saynt is opening up his humble home to friends and family. It's a very small, casual, 4th of July Celebration in Venice. Essentially, there's a courtyard out front that fits maybe 150 or so people who come from all over to hear the Gumbo Brothers jam in the courtyard with whomever drops by. Last year, we had a horn section comprised of members of Beck and Macy Gray's bands, in addition to some stellar local cats. Uncle Saynt will be laying down the jazzy funky, there will be mardi gras funk provided by the Gumbos, and BBQs will be roaring all day. We start around Noon and end in time for us to all walk/ ride down to the Venice Boardwalk for Fireworks. Again, super low key BYOB sorta thing.

You MUST RSVP to me via email for the address. Unless you already know it. Or you're stalking yer poor Uncle.
saynt@ninjaskillz.net


TUESDAY, JULY 8TH - CLUB FOCUS, O.C.
Focus is the premier spot for house music in the OC. Located in Costa Mesa at Tapas, Focus has been running for five years and boasts regular visits from the likes of some of house music's largest names. THAT and yer boys Wobs and Non-Fiction ( if you were at Alma or LIB, then you know all about em ) are residents of this joint. Tuesday, July 8th is a HOMETOWN HEROS night, and they have invited yer Uncle Saynt to play. This is a huge night for yer Unkie..... so all the hottie nieces and nephews need to hustle on down and shake a tail feather. Yes. It's a Tuesday. BIG WHOOP! Come on out and show some love for yer Carnie Uncle, House Music, and the most amazing displays of rug-cutting that side of the curtain.

If you made it for the first one, you KNOW that your ninjas laid down some sick musical mayhem with the BodyRock DJs. This Thursday, we're bringing in 2 of our favorite DJs. If you recall FORBIDDEN ISLAND, you'll remember how WOBS and NON-FICTION completely blew up the dancefloor. When not playing as residents at OC's premier underground weekly, FOCUS, they play with some of the most top notch talent in the country. NOW... they are playing with Ninjas. That VERY SAME NIGHT ( Seriously... no joke ), fresh from seperate desert engagements over the weekend, MIKE INSANE will hit the decks followed by SAMMY BLISS & NICK THE NECK. Its going to be one of the best nights that we've done. Miss it at your own risk. Be sure to arrive early.

This night and completely relies on your support. Come out. Buy us booze. Make us buy you booze. Buy Nick Booze. Its his birthday month.

Be sure to wish us well as we ship off to this huge festival in Indio.... at a Polo Field.... that we can't name.... That Sammy and Jesse are playing at from 750 - 9 something on Friday and yer Uncle Saynt is playing at on Sunday at High Noon. Huge Festival. Indio. Polo Field....

Cade from Dynagroove steps up next, and his brand of sexeh is going to make you fall all over yourself in a mad rush to the dancefloor.

The BodyRock DJs close out the night... and if this set is anything like what they did at King King.... you'd be plum crazy to miss it.

ALMA TICKETS ON SALE NOW

They are flyin....

www.almaparadiso.com

It has been said that the only constant is change. The only thing we can be sure of is that things will inevitably morph and evolve. Where we step in, is to do our utmost to ensure that the change is for the good. There are a few select cases where we are more than confident that the change that is on the horizon is going to be nothing short of miraculous.

Alma Paradiso '08 is one of those times.

In our third year, there is no complicated theme. There is no mythological images to consider or philosophical concepts to ponder. Alma Paradiso '08 is very simple.

There is a beautiful beach to dance on. That beach is in a wooded campground where you can rest. That wooded campground is on an island that is nothing short of paradise. We are taking you there.

You may find yourself dancing on the beach to Reggae, Afro Beat, or world tribal music. You may find yourself shaking a tailfeather to the most diverse lineup of underground musicians and performers that we could muster. You may find yourself having every meal provided to you. You may find yourself coming to understand how something so simple can be so profound.

Or you may do whatever the hell you want. Thats the best part!

Ninja Skillz, Blue Insomnia, and Sand Castle Events invite you once more to dance, laugh, live, and love with us on a beach that is far removed from concerns or cares. Leave your burdens at the dock and board a private yacht to join us on Catalina Island for Alma Paradiso '08.
