DJ by Committee, featuring Trent the Collective

I'd like to meet:

A Message from Sanford Milson

Me? I'm Sanford Milson. I live on the fifth floor of the Clinton Holiday Inn. It's not quite the Ritz, but the sheets are clean and the showers are really good, and I am a man who appreciates a really good shower. I am the Spiritual Party Host by Proxy for The Committee, and as such I take my responsibilities very seriously.
I live something of a complicated life, as I try to manage simultaneously my many international finance interests and ever growing family of male siblings. Those of you who know me also understand that I love a good party.
You? You're a member of The Collective. As such, you are officially one of the beautiful people. You have native points of origin that are as far ranging as Vancouver and Spain - some of you are cowgirls from Miami Beach and surfers from Utah (I must admit, that one made me look twice). Some of you are as local as Tewksbury and Raritan, but like to spend as much time as possible traveling this great country of ours. We love the wanderlust in you. We also love the word "wanderlust."
You too live something of a complicated life. You're a member of The Collecitive. You have a job. Actually, you have a lot of them. You are architects and web designers, actors, singers and musicians, entrepenuers and artists. Some of you are paramedics and EMTs, a few police officers, members of the military, and one of you is even a real-life sherpa. There seems to be no end to the variance of ways that some of you have come up with to earn your daily bread, and a good number of you are holding several jobs at once. Sweet. Sanford loves the multi-tasker in you.

Its almost universal among you all - you love your dogs. Also, a number of you have three-legged cats, oddly enough. You guys are so caring and affectionate toward your pets - that is so Pete Harnish! We love the love you show.
But more important than what you do, or where you came from to do it, is what makes us a unit. To be a member of The Collective is to have, and need to share, your love of a good time. Be it food, music, dance or liquor, you are going to enjoy it all, and probably to great levels of excess.
Earlier I referred to you as one of the beautiful people. Well, its not just the fact that you're hot and sexy, and have it going on on so many levels that makes you so - you're a beautiful person because you've got the party love, and you've got to share the party love with your friends. That's too cool man. Again, so totally Pete Harnish.
And that stands as the eternally celebrated mission of The Collective - making friends, making good times. And when you are in The Collective you are amongst friends to be sure. Be it the girlfriend you walked in with whom you've known since the third grade, or the cat at the end of the bar who wants to buy you a round. And all of us are looking for a good time.
Welcome to The Collective. Please, have a cocktail.
Yours,
Sanford Milson,
Your Host
