The Do-Over

The sun peeked out for the first time in a while it seemed… Gloom-Over (or so we hope). Something magical was about to happen and not for the Orlando Magic. This past Sunday at The Do-Over marked our 5th week of our 5th season, while the Lakers were ready to claim the trophy in Game 5 of the NBA Championship. The party people represented hard, many decked out in the purpz and gold. It seemed once the 3rd quarter was behind us, we all were crackin’ bottles in celebration (aka dropping sangria carafes all over ourselves).

Much respect to the heavy hitters in the place who had to brave the rawkus that only those present could describe: DJ Revolution, DJ Vadim, Kon & Amir, C-Minus & Dirty Dave. No power outages can stop us!

We are bringing it big for the daddies (and mama’s) this upcoming Sunday. Arrive early, stay late, enjoy the sunshine and expect one of our heaviest lineups to date. Happy Fathers Day to all!

What’cha Wanna Do?

Whew. We did it! Somehow we survived another six months of getting done-over and what a past six months it has been. Season Four of The Do-Over was indeed a special one. One quick look at our mystery guests from this year and it could easily be mistaken for a lineup at Coachella (and for free!?!). It’s hard to believe we’ve been so fortunate to have such an amazing cast of artists/dj’s bless us at The Do-Over, but that is a testament to you, our loyal attendees and supporters so for that, we thank you. The Do-Over will always be a party for the people and by the people. Special thanks goes out to Peanut Butter Wolf, J.Rocc, Rhettmatic, Dam-Funk, C-Minus, House Shoes, Induce, Mixmaster Noah and Jedi for getting down at our annual Boo-Over Extravaganza. What a way to end an amazing year. Costumes were plentiful, spirits were high, and good times were had by all. On that note, it’s been real, it’s been fun, and shit, it’s been real fun, but it’s time for Aloe/Chris/Jamie to catch up on some much needed sleep. So we will see you six months from now, unless you suffer from withdrawals and would like to get done-over at one of our special one-off editions. Stay tuned for details.

“This may be the happiest, hoppiest dance party in town, and though it’s done till next summer, at least there’s Do dudes Chris Haycock, Aloe Blacc and Jamie Strong’s annual post-Thanksgiving one-off, The Left Over, to look forward to on Nov. 28. After what we saw Sunday, only a jive turkey would miss it.”

(Recap of June 29, 2008)

It’s hard to fathom we are only approaching Week 8 and we’ve already had as much fun in this short time span than entire Season’s in the past. Thanks in large part to you, our loyal Do-Over familia who bring the positive vibes each week and enjoy doin’ your weekend over and over and over again. This was quite evident Sunday as the sangria was flowing early as folks took full advantage of the special. Despite the early spills, stains & sweat, you and Fonzworth Bentley (!?) charged through to experience another classic edition of The Do! Special thanks go out to our mystery guests: C-Minus, Gabe Rene, A-Ski, DJ Nobody & DJ Pubes who took us on a journey from disco to house, rock to rap, beats and breaks.

As we get ready to embark upon this Holiday weekend, The Do-Over plans to make sure the fireworks continue through Sunday as we have lined up another heavyweight session including some special guests from the right coast. Get in to fit in.
