OK - this by far is not the best video, but it's my first entry in the FLIP 52 project (a flip vid a week, for a year; life - as seen through my eyes).
It was shot last Tuesday as I took the stage of the Prince Theatre (with my colleague Michaela Majoun), to host the Closing Night festivities of the 14th Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. I thought it would be cool to show you MY view that night - but sadly, I hit the wrong button and began playing a video (versus recording) - so once I did hit record, I was almost done my 'moment' and not one to ask 300 people to sit tight as I start over - I am left with just seven seconds of waving.
Enjoy!
About Me
- Robert Drake
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Everything old is good again.
I began spinning the new wave sounds when they were NEW wave sounds , working in various underground clubs in Philadelphia during the gritty era of 1981-1990. From off-radar spots like The Love Club to commanding nights at Philly's premier alternative hotspots The Kennel Club, Omni's and a few special nights at Danceteria in NYC, the Rock of the 80s became my passion.
Since 2003, I've helped shape Philly's nightlife scene by introducing the genre to a whole new generation of ears with my monthly Sex Dwarf party every first Friday at Fluid to hosting Land Of The Lost; a monthly 4-hour block of the Rock of the 80s on WXPN-FM in Philadelphia, to bringing authentic 80s bands back to the city for live concerts... it's all about the music!
Land of the Lost!
