Pizza Parlor Tuesday
These days, it takes a lot for me to leave the house on a school night. However, I will sacrifice some sleep if I see an opportunity for a good time, and that is exactly what I did on a Tuesday night: Made a sacrifice.
I was burning down my social media time watching IG stories. Running up the meter and skipping all the screentime notifications. While continuing to get my fix, I watched a story with someone in a pizza parlor going off on the SP-404, and I’m glad I had the sound on. I saw that story and said, “ I need to go there”. And so I went to the pizza parlor the coming Tuesday.

I love a heavy bass line accompanied by some hi-hats. It's an easy recipe to get me moving and shaking. But I’m not moving too much, just enough to catch the rhythm and anticipate everyone's next move.
Crowded around these electronic keypads like an old school operator with their headphones and switchboard. Switching out cords, Mashing buttons, twisting knobs, and fully focused on connecting you to the music. On this Tuesday, when I was in the pizza parlor, it seemed like a producer training ground opened for public viewing. It was a community of producers showcasing their old work, new work, or just trying something new. You could tell whoever plugged their device into the switchboards was there to have a good time, nothing else.
