Dylan Marlowe Davis, born 9/26/2011.

It's been a busy year! We got pregnant, were quasi-homeless for three months, moved into a new apartment, and welcomed our son Dylan to the world—all while continuing to seek out new projects and adventures along the way.

So real life eclipsed our internet life for a while, but we hope to share some of what we've been up to over the last few months—and we definitely will be sharing our adventures going forward!

xoxo!
Matthew, Sandy, and Dylan

I spied this sweet card from Two Paper Dolls at the National Stationery Show last month and knew I had to get one for Matthew for his first (almost) Father's Day. So happy that he's proudly displaying it at his desk!

Happy Father's Day again, love—I know you're going to be a great dad!

Don't know how we forgot to share this great preview video for Anthology's spring issue! You may see some familiar faces...

Also, we thought we'd share some bonus playlists that didn't make the final cut in our article. These are for a more mellow gathering. (For our dance party playlists, you'll have to get the magazine!)

First, we're really honored to be featured in Anthology's Issue No. 3, which is on sale now! The theme is "Life Is A Party", so we had a great time talking to Kate about music and DJing, plus sharing a day-in-the-life as we got ready for a night at Debaser. You can see a sneak peek of the issue online here, or find out where to pick up your own copy here.

And the second bit of news is: there are actually three people in the Anthology photo series — we're expecting a baby boy in late September, and Sandy was two months pregnant at the time of the shoot! We're beyond excited and can't wait to meet the newest member of our family!! (And we think the article will be such a neat little time capsule for our little one someday.)

There's no hiding it anymore, as we're now about five months along! (We've been having fun taking weekly belly photos, which you can see here or here.)

Fog and Laser this Saturday at the Rickshaw!

I'm super-excited to announce Fog and Laser, a new party I'm starting with good friend Steve MacDonald, launching at the Rickshaw Stop on Saturday April 23rd. We've always enjoyed the type of party when you get to play whatever you want, and like any great house party, it's always best when it's dark and full of intrigue. Fog machines and lasers seem to be the best bet for an over-the-top fun and crazy night. (I've been stockpiling them in our apartment for months, much to Sandy's dismay.) With laser portraits, special guests, and more, it promises to be an epic night, so don't miss it!

Who: me and Steve, aka DJs EmDee and RamblinWorker
What: a genre-free, anything goes dance party
When: Saturday, April 23rd, doors at 9:00 pm
Where: Rickshaw Stop, 155 Fell St @ Van Ness
Why: it's time to dance!
