This is Shameless HQ writing to remind all you Seattle freaks of where you should be spending your New Year’s Day. Whether you rest all of New Year’s Eve, get way too wasted before midnight and pass out in a gutter, party with Innerflight ’til the breaka-breaka dawn or are STILL UP from last weekend’s Shameless “Social” monthly, you would do yourself a favor by stumbling on over to the Electric Tea Garden, getting yourself an ice cold beverage, writing/speaking run-on sentences, and listening to some hot as hell dance music at about 6am until the wee hours of the afternoon on New Year’s Day. That’s right, we’re presenting another edition of our now infamous Breakfast Club party, featuring food, booze and two areas of music insanity from 6am-4pm.

For those of you were there last year, this should be a no-brainer. For those of you who weren’t, you’ll just have to come see if all the rumors are true. Will there be more phenomenal sets by some of Seattle’s favorite dance music legends? Definitely! Will there be incredibly awesome performance art? You betcha!… although this time it will be by Gaydolf and the Golden Showers, as Tons of F***ing Sequins are now signed to a major label and way out of our league… Will a man strangely resembling Zach Galifinakis blow us all away with his unique and only slightly creepy brand of awesomeness? Hopefully! Will Principal Vernon show up? Probably not. Will there be a metric shit-ton of bacon? Probably yes. Will there be at least some bacon? MOST DEFINITELY! Will there be booze-a-plenty? YES! It will be flowing like Manna from heaven (or, at least, from ETG’s exceptionally competent and tolerant bar staff)!!! Will Adlib be playing another exceptionally rad closing set? No… alas, he can’t make it, as he will be on a plane to Hawaii… but that means you guys all just have to get twice as stupid for him!

We guess at some point we should stop writing and share the details. Well, for those of you still around, here they are!

The incredible opening weekend at Q was kicked off with a private preview party last Friday night. This Saturday night September 15th both Recess and Astronomar will be teaming up to rock Q‘s impressive Funktion One sound system. Unless you’ve been sleeping for the past couple of years, our hometown homie has been making waves all over the world with his releases on Top Billin‘, Mad Decent, Southern Fried, Discobelle and upcoming release on Dim Mak. Even Diplo’s been dropping his cuts. Only $8 before 11p and $10 after.

It’s late July, festival season is in full swing, and the Beach is calling us all back for more photosynthesizing. Photosynthesis five takes place in just a couple short days and Shameless is honored to be part of the festivities. This year’s event is once again being held on the beautiful and awe-inspiring Hobuck Beach Resort in Neah Bay, the Northwest-most corner of the continental United States and heart of the Makah nation’s tribal land. The Photosynthesis production crew has been working closely with the Makah to create a forward-thinking, exciting and culturally considerate party featuring a wide variety of great music, performance and visual art, and workshops. This year’s lineup includes an incredible sampling of diverse and heady music, including folks like Random Rab, Kilowatts, Desert Dwellers, Apendic(s) Shuffle, the Moontribe crew and many others.

Shameless is a close and long-time supporter of Photosynthesis. At least one member of our crew has played every year since year two, and we co-financed year three (at the Dragonsphere Event Center). This year, we are extremely proud to have Joe Bellingham playing live on the Mandala Dome main stage (courtesy of our good friends at www.mandaladomes.com) on Saturday afternoon and Adlib playing a very special space disco set right on the beach Sunday afternoon. Please come support this amazing homegrown event and don’t forget to say hi!

Well, it’s true. Poster Giant gets you noticed. The company that has been notorious around Seattle for creating a monopoly on public space through numerous shady tactics is once again in the news. This time for blatantly covering up the art of commissioned work.

Click here to see the recent blog post on the Seattle PI.

For years they’ve also directed their employees to cover up and/or tear down anyone else’s “non Poster Giant” event posters. Soon you’ll be noticed for doing business with them. Scratchmaster Joe has recently taken the lead on holding Poster Giant accountable. He’s organizing a boycott. To start, you can sign the petition below.

There have been numerous times in the past where we’ve been attacked by Poster Giant’s ruthless approach as well. One time we decided to fight back with their own methods.
