Discotexas has finally arrived to Texas. Meet your maker! We were received with heartwarming hospitality, and played a great show at Mink. Thanks to everyone who came to see us!

No catastrophes today (yet). Heading to NYC now!!

Catastrophe Update: we were involved in a (small) car accident.

We’ve left home 48 hours ago, and since then, some facts:

One of our flights was cancelled and then reopened with no notification at all

A reservation for one of us wasn’t found

We managed to dodge Volcano Eyjafjallajokull’s wrath

Our UA907 flight from Munich to Chicago had to do an emergency landing in Heathrow, where we were informed that:

1. - One of the generators in the aircraft broke down, thus 3 hours of repair
2. - Someone in our airplane had a seizure, thus paramedic circus

We managed to get to Chicago in time of our show at Berlin Club, which we did (and by the way, it was great)

We had breakfast right after the show, and drove directly to the airport

One of us realized he had lost his passport, which made us loose the flight to Houston

There’s no beauty in pancakes with Corn Syrup

After some display of despair and sleep deprivation, we managed to seduce a ticket office clerk to rebook us on the next flight for free (see below)

We have a much bigger consideration for United Airlines (see above)

We like taco stands, but tacos don’t like us.

We can’t wait for Houston.

It happens again tomorrow! Our special guest for the Discotexas Titan Thursdays event for April is the one and only Breakbot, who right after the release of his Baby I’m Yours EP (which we love) on Ed Banger Records, will join Rockets and Cpt. Luvlace on the decks for what promises to be a hell of a party!

DRESS CODE WARNING: We’re trying something special with this party by setting a dress code for it. We’re asking everyone (boys and girls!) to show up in shorts and white socks – hey, cut jeans are OKAY! This is going to be amazing. More info on our always updated Facebook page. See you tomorrow!

Last year he tried but he couldn’t make it. This year, however, it’s both happening and going to be quite special. We’re bringing Lifelike over to our first DTTT of 2010, and we’re adding Xinobi and Rockets as the icing on the cake. If this isn’t the best way to start out 2010, we don’t know what is! See you on thursday!
