The Do-Over

Wow! So we are convinced Portland likes to party. We are fully advised that Portland likes to party at The Do-Over. From the look on everyone’s faces throughout the day, it was difficult not to come to that conclusion. Our second installment of The Do-Oregon was a smashing success. Our first edition was great and this easily surpassed it in energy according to those lucky enough to enjoy both.

The Do-Over’s Aloe Blacc and Haycock handled the hosting duties, while Portland friend Ohmega Watts repped for the locals. LA’s own (thee) Mike B & Adam 12 provided all sorts of smiles for the 2nd half of the day, switching off every half hour, easily topping the levels that we predicted.

Big thanks to adidas for the continued support in Portland. Many thanks to Red Bull and Bacardi for extra support. Special shouts to the Portland staff headed by Connie and Alan.

We will return for the 3rd and final installment of 2010 on Sunday September 19th. We will be bringing our biggest lineup to date. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Go ahead and RSVP at www.thedoover.net/portland

One thing we are learning about waiting to write the recap from weeks previous: we tend to fall victim to the “oh sh*t what happened?” Lucky for us, all of our recaps tend to be reworkings in theory of the same things: “wow, The Do-Over was so insane and we all got completely leveled!”

With that, this week we got to have a couple of Do-Over first timers as well as two seasoned vets. Following Haycock’s early two hour warm-up, Vancouver friends Neoteric and U-Tern wasted no time becoming seasoned with perfect moods for the backyard boogie. Next up, Adam 12, who obviously had done the do many a time did what he does best and kept the dancefloor blazing. Finally an unexpected journey into the lesser acknowledged side of Detroit sounds from Mayer Hawthorne tipped the scales. Download the sets and see what we are talking about…

Love was definitely in the air last Sunday at our special Valentine’s Day shindig aptly named “The Do-Lover.” It was a beautiful sunshiny winter day in L.A. and Shinehead’s lover’s rock reggae introduction certainly inspired a few new paternity cases amongst the early crowd.  Cupid came in the form of a masked vinyl-wielding villain who stole everyone’s hearts with a memorable block of blue-eyed-soul hits.  Adam 12 knows better than anyone that you can’t just love them and leave them alone because she’ll always want revenge. He brought just what the doctor ordered – from “One Love” to “Computer Love” he healed the broken hearted before handing it over to Jun.  And you know it ain’t no fun if the homeys can’t have none, so come get yours at The Do-Over.

What’cha Wanna Do? Do-Over!

This past Sunday captured the true essence of The Do-Over with a diverse cast of all-stars rocking the house:  Adam 12, Dam-Funk, The Gaslamp Killer, Ohmega Watts, DJ Dez aka Andres of Slum Village & House Shoes. June Gloom-Over couldn’t even keep the masses away from getting done-over as it was packed from sun up to sun down and another crazy Do-Over.  Somehow, these next few weeks we have even more craziness lined up for you so you won’t want to miss the surprises in-store.  The Lake Show will also be on the tube.
