20090829 RIP DJ AM, et al....

Posted by tiffany, Saturday August 29, 2009

death close to home is always difficult to hear. it’s been even rougher to learn of other’s loss of late as i face battles against cancer and illness with my dad right now. but after multiple public figures, and friends of friends deaths in the last couple weeks, hearing dj am was found dead last night was a bit of icing on the cake. WHAT?!

i heard am spin only once – on one of his resident dj friday nights at rain nightclub in the palms earlier this summer. but it was awesome, especially come 2am when the top-40 hits turned to deeper electronic beats and maran and i made our way to the stage, dancing up a storm. it was a blast of a night with great photo friends in town for the nppa conference and it was sealed by dj am. in honor, here’s two frames from the evening….rip dj am.

to anyone who has lost a friend or relative recently, my heart goes out to you. unconcerned with cliche, may we all remember to savor each breath, good and bad moment, love and disappointment. it’s all so precious, fleeting and blessed.

ps…..on the upside, it seems like everyone i know is having babies, or just got knocked up! :-) so here’s to the newest generation and those on their way. my biggest of congratulations to all of you and your beautiful bundles….rob & fran, barb & andres, marvi & ben, ryan & jen, chip & elaine, rob & Amelia, annie & super and so many others….
