Zia’s Birth Week Shenanigans
June 11th, 2009Holy Cow! I just had the craziest week ever!!!!
Kicking it all off was my B-day Party on June 1st (Fondue and Karaoke From Hell), hangover on my actual b-day and the next day my “B” is for Birthday radio show (during which I was told by the new radio director that they are shutting down the station for several months, boo!) right after my show we flew down to LA and I hustled over to the 3 of Clubs to spin some records.
THEN….. I spent the day with my BFF at the Playboy Mansion sun tanning and taking pics of Hef’s animals (lot’s of birds and monkeys) while our crew and lots of other crews prepared for the big legalize marijuana party. It was kind of a drag trying to stay mostly sober since we didn’t perform until almost the end of the night but it was worth it because the show was really fun and I made sure to get naked in the pool (didn’t quite make it to The Grotto) before they kicked everyone off the property. (Wait, one more thing about that party, Ron Jeremy and I played “When The Saints Go Marching In” on harmonica and then he hit on me.) Then we all got talked into some LA penthouse after party shenanigans that, after about 50-75 people traipsed up and down stair wells and long hallways and such, ended in a hotel room with some kinda good dancy reggae happening. We bailed on that just before the hotel security shut it down and got to the taco place before it closed. Phew!
Ok, next day was our gig at the Glass House in Pomona, it turned out to be a great sounding room, cool crowd and lovely gig. Oh and The Meek who opened for us where cool as hell!
The next morning everyone kinda split up, some flew home some had other plans. I kissed my hubby good bye and set off for a road trip to the dessert with my BFF. We made it in time for a quick visit to Joshua Tree before I had to do an all vintage country set at Pappy & Harriet’s (a roadhouse bar in Pioneer Town (a town built in the 40′s by film makers to make western movies in). The set was cool and so were the patrons.
Next day was my big DJ set at The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. I played pool side from 3-7pm, it went really well and the ‘ritas were tasty! That was Sunday.
Monday morning my BFF, a couple other friends and I all went for a fun little bike ride around Palm Springs and chillaxed by the pool. My BFF had to drive back to SF so I said good-bye to her and was feeling kinda frustrated that I needed to drive all the way back to Pioneer Town because I had left my ‘puter in the last hotel. Luckily I had Peaches tix (she was playing that night at Pappy & Harriet’s) so it was a good excuse to make me go but after this crazy week I kinda just wanted to veg in the hot tub. Wouldn’t you? Anyway, my friends loaned me their car and I set out on the 45 min drive to Pioneer Town listening to Prince’s soundtrack to Purple Rain . I’m so glad I went! The Peaches show was incredible!!! Plus I got to DJ the funnest dance party ever afterward. I was using my computer (hopefully they will have proper decks next time) and all was swell until some old drunkard tripped and knocked a glass Sambuca all over my computer! Damn, damn, damn!!!! Well it’s broken now and hopefully I can get that turkey to pay for it. Don’t worry, it didn’t stop me from having a great time and hanging with the Peaches crew until 5am.
****** I had to wait until I was fully sober to drive back. Safety 3rd!*********
I woke up on Tuesday in time for some all day breaky a couple dips in the pool and got my stuff crammed in my bag and got my tired ass to the airport. It was one hell of a birth week! I could barely move all day yesterday but am back in action today and so glad I took so many pics.
I’ll be editing a little movie together as soon as a either get my computer fixed or get a new one. So keep an eye out for that.

Hope you get a nice new computer out of that guy, what a frustrating thing to happen. Happy belated birthday!

Zia… I forgot to ask you if you were able to get the name and personal info.of the person who had tripped and ruined your computer. It really sucks that it happened. Also, did they say exactly when your radio show would resume? Gothman…I like you. Oddly, your personality reminds me a lot of , well ,…….myself. Is that a bad thing?

Hugh came down and sat on some red velvet couches for about 10 min.
I didn’t even try to get over there. It was a bit of a circus.
But yes, he made an appearance. Good times.
Zia, it’s so kind of you to write here ! i watched your interview (on you tube) and i loved the way you talked about little Matilda ! xoxoxoxo
There are some strange peeps commenting on here these days :S thought i’d offer up a boring but sane comment. Happy you had a good week Zia!
oh ! howrd, you see insane when it’s only loving and joking ! i ‘m a true fan of Zia, The Dandys and Gothman and not insane !
have a good week Zia !

Es fantastico Zia.., son unas fotos chulísimas..,
Zia your bithday has been fantastic, i feel so sorry 2 night you might find me weird !
who can understand that i’ve posted on your forum for one year , was so down when it’s spoiled., talking of me, sorry but loving you always ! as i write i think of Courtney i admire so much . and i’m afraid i felt in love with Gothman so i did too much i know ! i won’t post anymore just love you and be there at your european concerts..
don’t think french are weird .. i’m not the french .

Don’t feel discouraged Martine. I think I am a fairly “sane” person and I find your comments to be charming and sweet. Don’t let anyone spoil your fun.
Jennifer, I agree. Martine is a very sweet person. You’re very kind.
Oh, and it is with my utmost respect to adhere to the request of my dear friend, officer Howrd of the blog police, who let me off with a written warning for my first alleged offense at joking. Previously referred to as insane ( crazy, nut, whacko, and such ), I have now seen the light and am humbly reduced to a ” sane and boring person”. With my newfound dullness, I would just like to offer up a simple comment. ” Have a nice day”.
Who wants to be sane anyway? BORING! Be crazy! Have fun!
Thank you, Zia…but I’ll behave from now on. I feel kinda bad now for cluttering up your birth-week page. I’m sorry for that and I will try to post a little less from now on and stick to the original subject. You’re a true down-to-earth and very nice person.
ok ok, i’ve been told
i’ll shush, lol.
