The party went really well. We had some technical difficulties (the crossfader inside decided to start to bleed, and the slipmats outside had a nasty tendency to blow away) but all told, all of the DJs had great sets. I've got some pictures that I'll eventually get around to putting up. We had a very diverse crowd - Rice kids (grad and undergrad), the local hip-hop establishment, and old friends. And for some reason people seem to think I had a great set on three turntables. I'm not sure - I was somewhat intoxicated at that point.

In any case, it looks like the fun is over. Things kind of all go haywire all at once, you know? After a great week of fun, now I have a heavy week or two of work to get through. And to add insult to injury, the neighborhood stray cat has decided to make my life even more difficult with the onset of summer. It's not as good of a story as this one, but here is my tale of cat urine:

I have a covered parking spot at my apartment complex. Sometime over the mild Houston winter, I noticed that the stray cat would occasionally sleep on the hood of my car. Presumably it was because I was usually the last person in at night, so my car hood would be the warmest. The other morning I got in the car to go to work and flipped on the A/C (it's already starting to heat up here in Houston). All of a sudden I noticed a rancid smell. I thought it might be the old fast food wrappers, or the towel, or something. So after getting to work, I threw the aforementioned items into the trunk. Lunchtime came around, and I got back into my car. The smell was still there. And then I realized that it was the smell of cat urine. Coming in through the A/C. Apparently the cat pissed into the air intake of my car. I've been through the automated car wash, and while lessened, the smell is still there. I can operate with recycled air, but I prefer not to. Looks like I'm going to have to thoroughly hose down the car...
