While not quite as bad as recounting your teenage diaries to strangers, the idea of someone judging your taste in music can induce squeamishness in even the most confident would-be DJs.
Nonetheless, the San Francisco Mixtape Society wants you to put those fears aside and check out its inaugural event at the Makeout Room on Sunday, January 31 from 4-6pm. They propose a “Secret Santa” gathering where everybody who brings a mixtape leaves with one created by someone else. Of course, there will be JUDGES and prizes to entice along the way. No word yet on whether the $2 Pabst and $3 well happy hour prices will be in effect, but early indications are favorable.
USBs and CDs are acceptable, but Cassettes are marriageable, apparently. We’re letting you know about this early so you can get to work! The theme is “Cities vs. Towns,” but I already suspect my extensive ABBA collection will be the deciding factor here.
