SLASHER @ the DISCO

2009-07-27T16:01:00.000-07:00

The friday of Comic Con was interesting to say the least... The Infusion Project was in for a disco of horrific proportions!! It was surely an unforgettable event (Besides the horror films, demonic live art, and hypnotic sounds of Mark E Quark, it's pretty hard to forget about a party when you upload a bunch of pics)

Vampin'

2009-07-20T21:00:00.001-07:00

Some people take this 'true blood' thing way too serious...

here's the rest of the vamps from Saturday's party with Dan OH, OH, OH, MY!!!

(Props Mr. Shark)

and for giggles, I present to you: Old Man SHAZAAM!!!

Lights, Camera, INK

The travel Channel came through EL||D... they brought the crew from Miami Ink to film a new series called 'World Wide Tribe' – a new "reality" series depicting the many cultures who embrace tattoo. As you may already know, EL||D staff members are familiar with the art... We're also familiar with Lucky's Tattoo Parlor, the friendly folks hosting the WWT crew during their San Diego stay.

Here's a couple more pics from their shoot... We'll get back with more details on when the episode airs

Just a Snap!

A bunch of WEIRDOS (having fun)

2009-05-17T23:10:00.000-07:00

...regardless, these weirdos know how to enjoy themselves...

This weirdo likes to pic both his nostrils!!

This weirdo likes crawling

This weirdo likes to do handstands

This one can point really well (notice three pointing out and only one pointing back – the mark of skill)

This weirdo looks really interesting!!! (PS: This might be one of the finest photos taken at EL||D)

A STEADY FRIDAY

2009-05-17T21:49:00.000-07:00

Hello!

Wanted to share some photos of last Friday. The Steady Crushin' crew did an outstanding job serving the kids a fresh dose of soul, funk, and hip hop. It was an awesome night. How do I know? Because we took a bunch pictures...

You can scope 'em out through this here link!!

If you'd like to get your paws on a nice size copy of these images, shoot a request here: contact@eldoradobar.com

It's Posso Party!!

2009-04-13T11:25:00.001-07:00

yo yo yo yo yo yo

Posso did their thing, y'all... We send you love and light, you wonderful ladies!!! THANK YOU!! Was it high fashion? Well, that depends on your definition of fashion - We can say their set was specifically fashioned for the wilderness commonly known as our dance floor. Ya gotta be careful around these parts, cuz these disco beasts are out for one thing --> "DANCE FLOOR, NOW!!"

For the rest of the debauchery from the night that was Saturday April 11, 2009, peep the Style Shark's photo set

Also, props to those responsible for Young Guns: DJ Groundfloor and Ikah Love... It was a rad party. thanks fellas!

SEXY

2009-04-06T11:25:00.000-07:00

The Analog Show presents The Twelves! El Dorado! from mac nguyen on Vimeo.

SO SEXY!!! This might replicate some of the alleged incidents that occurred on that fine Saturday evening in March... But, much is lost in translation (e.g., the debauchery that ensued after the after the after the after party!). Although this video clearly demonstrates how "Special" this event was. Thank you Mr. Mac for showing the world how fun things can get at our little spot on the globe. Also, huge props, again, to Mr. Salter for promoting,

Let's not forget an enormous thank you to The TWELVES!!! Show these dudes some myspace/FB lovin' -- with a couple of your kind words, and a little luck, maybe they'll be back at EL||D sooner than later!

Please don't crash Mr. Innnerweb, cuz we wanna hold on to this memory as long as possible!!

FUN, FUN, FUN!!

THEM JAMS 4.5.09

2009-04-05T19:41:00.000-07:00

Another excellent evening at EL||D...

THEM JEANS was outstanding!! so was Mr. Salter. You folks seemed to have fun, too

Thanks y'all - It was an awesome night!

More photo's? YES!!! Here's the Style Shark's take on this evening's festivities

NEW LENS = FUN

2009-03-30T00:00:00.000-07:00

Most of these pics are from Friday, March 27th... Lots of fun!!

BTW, this thing is soooooo fun! These days, most photographers who come through our door seem to consistently use flash. We're not trying to belittle their efforts, but there's something so real lost with flash. Taking these pics felt like a cultural study!! The hope in using this new lens is to let the cross-culture at EL||D speak volumes. It's an attempt at documenting our bar, as is... Clearly, something is missing... We could never assume this one set reps all the folks who come in and out of the front. But, over time we hope to share the many experiences at EL||D, so you can compare and contrast your own experience with us.

Thanks again for sharing your time, and making new friends at our bar. If you have a picture to share, by all means, share away: contact@eldoradobar.com. If you'd like to discuss how we took these pics, or how you can get a high-rez copy of any pic of ours, we're glad to talk...

A Lazy Monday with Lagunitas...

2009-03-25T01:44:00.000-07:00
