Cambodia and Club Shows




On Friday morning I took a trip to Cambodia at 5AM in order to extend my visa. The trip was not long but I ended up sitting next to this goon whose arm blubber kept creeping over to my side, On top of that I could hear his Israeli tunes blasting out of his neon green ipod mini. We took the 3 and a half hour ride to the border where we entered at Poipet. It is a casino town all Thai owned with a lot of very poor people. We hung out at a hotel/casino for a couple hours where there was a buffet. I got into a conversation with an english guy who has been living abroad (thailand, hongkong, japan) and traveling since about 1990 working in television, photography and as a DJ. Our chat made things quite a bit more enjoyable. I got home around 4 and managed to catch some Z'z before I headed out to club kachood where I had a performance.

I got to the club around 8:30, had a bite of some really tasty fried rice and threw back a malibu and mango and a few heinekens. The DJ that night was DJ AJ (pictured below) He was spinning while I was hyping up the crowd. Then there was a live band, us, a bikini fashion show, us, live band, my stage performance then we pretty much kept it up till the end of the night. People told me after the show they had a great time and I took pictures with a few of them. Saturday after some basketball, ping pong and swimming AJ invited out to perform with him again at another club. Me ad AJ got a good thing going, I beatbox on stage while he incorporates scratching into it. So more to come soon.
