Vidal said he thought DJ Pierre was doing a gig with Doc Martin down in Tijuana or San Diego, but hadn't heard of any Aux 88 gigs here. There are several NAMM after-parties going on out here, though. - Mike Huckaby is doing a free party tonight (with DJ Developer) in Silver Lake at Rambutan Thai, 2835 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026. - Troy Pierce (and Droog) is playing at Republic tonight (650 N. La Cienega Blvd. in WeHo). $15 RSVPs are available by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] $15 pre-sale tickets may be purchased at http://www.wanttickets.com/ - Exzact (Florida Electro) is playing at another party the E.L.M. crew are putting on at Blue Star tonight (2200 East 15th St., Los Angeles CA 90021 - $10 10:00-4:00) - Tomorrow night is the Droid/Richard Devine thing from 10:00 - 6:00 at 129 E. 3rd St. Los Angeles, CA 90026. Besides Devine, there's also aPENDICS.SHUFFLE (live), Drumcell, Acid Circus (live), Derek Michael vs. Baseck (live) and others.
