SATURDAY 9/22 • SCORE SWAP S.F. EDITION AT THE BOLD ITALIC

Hi my name is Patrick and I'm a hoarder. Actually, depending on who you hang out with I can be seen as "an archivist",  "a music lover", or even "a vinyl junkie", but truthfully I'm a record hoarder. An apartment, a storage unit, and my parent's garage have been populated with the sounds of the past, present, & future. I need to let a few go and that's what Score Swap is all about: Giving and playing your possessions forward. 

Score Swap has asked myself & my Society sister and brothers to get down and it's simple as well as easy. We show up with our rad wares (RECORDS) to The Bold Italic (34 Page Street, S.F.) , give $5 to a non-profit  of our choice (Dress For Success, SurfRider, or 826 Valencia) , and we get to swap said items for either shoes, hats, ties, sunglasses, purses, cufflinks, scarves, and maybe even more records (I'll give but I'll never give up). 

For more info , point your computer machine here. And say "Hey!"

Society Spotlight • Karim Davis of P Is For Props

Karim Davis.

Sometimes you find talented people by seeking them out. And in other cases it happens through sheer dumb luck. Okay, maybe it isn't dumb luck. Perhaps cliches like "the law of attraction," or "great minds think alike," or "birds of a feather flock together" actually hold true.

Such is the case with Karim Davis, aka P Is For Props, the official photographer for Society Experiment 01 • Maiden Voyage. I was fortunate enough to meet this Angelino - via Brooklyn via Ohio - at the original SFNY Yacht Party (or was it one of the long and foggy nights at JP's?!). Our friendship is a result of one of those cliches, where the right things fall into place at the right time.

Since we've met, I've witnessed Karim humbly capture the glory and charm of his surroundings, with his photos appearing in such publications as SF Weekly, LA Weekly, Fader, Spin, and his own site pisforprops.com

To me, he doesn't just snap pictures of a party. Karim is able to freeze a moment in life like a magician, making sure the best time you had all day/week/month/year will forever be preserved as a screensaver or a facebook profile picture, etc.  And just like an illusionist, he brings something out of those seemingly "whatever moments" that you may not have noticed at the time. - Patrick "King Most"

Society Spotlight • Goldenchyld of The Bangerz

When I think of San Jose and the contributions it has made to my knucklehead life, I think of two things: Computers & THE BANGERZ (Well, maybe three...Streetlight Records is always a good enough reason to go down to "The 408"). But if we're talking about "DJs who put their city on the map," then it definitely goes to The Bangerz out of San Jose. And not a better dude to represent the South Bay then Goldenchyld. 

He's one of the few DJ's you're either glad you're opening up for or are worried that you're going on after him. DJ championships aside, this is why we love the man; he'll inspire you to do better rather than making you feel that you got served. Why else wouldn't you want to spend three hours on a boat with this class act guy? - Patrick "King Most"
