Connekted Events presents : An Evening With…

Mark Farina **Special 4 Hour Set**
[Great Lakes Audio, Mushroom Jazz, Apt // San Francisco]

“I look at my job as a modern day traveling minstrel, to bring new music to as many places as I can, and expose obscure records that, otherwise, might go hidden.”  Since 1989, Mark Farina has been traveling the globe performing at literally hundreds of shows a year, sometimes DJing both of his preferred styles in two different rooms at the same party. At other events, he’s been known to play extended sets. In his House sets, Mark is known for his uniquely effortless journeys on the jazzy side of Chicago House, mixed up San Fran style, and flawless as always!

Did anyone else here about that shooting at the Meridian on Friday night? The news was on in the background this morning when I woke up and I heard something about a shooting in a packed venue. Turns out it was at the Meridian. It was the Texas Thrash show supposedly, hosted by a fraternity. There were many fight breakouts throughout the night and towards the end a shooting happened in a packed parking lot. Go figure right? Only a place packed with brodudes and wannabe tough guys would lead to multiple fights and shootings. Oh, did I mention an off duty officer was shot too? but who gives a fuck about the cops? just kidding. WE LOVE HPD LOLZ

anyways here are further details I stole Ch. 2:

Timmers was shot in the right shoulder by a stray bullet as he tried to help another shooting victim, police said.”He’s not going to back down when there’s a need there, and that’s what he was doing,” said Harris County Precinct 6 Constable Victor Trevino.”There is no indication that the officer shot his weapon. It’s still under investigation just how many shots were fired,” said Corp. J.W. Caldwell with the Precinct 6 Constable Office.Timmers was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital where he was released later Friday morning. He is now recovering at home.The other shooting victim was also shot in the shoulder and expected to be OK.Police said one of the bullets hit a nearby home and lodged itself in the resident’s laundry room.”I heard something. I was upstairs. I was doing laundry. I would have been dead. You just never know what’s going to happen in downtown Houston,” resident Ivan Rocabado said.Timmers was an officer in the animal cruelty division for over a decade. He has appeared on KPRC Local 2 numerous times in that role. He has been with Precinct 6 for nearly 15 years.Deputies said they believe the shooting stemmed from a fight inside the concert hall that spilled into the parking lot. Detectives questioned numerous people, but they were later released.No arrests have been made.

So to all the brodudes and brohos out there, keep on wearing your Assfliction or Confliction shirts and fighting everyone in plain sight. You might as well go shoot randoms too. Hell, that’s what you do best, keep up the work because everyone loves your stupid drama.
