It's just not possible to throw a party like AngstLAB for 15+ years without collecting a massive amount of crap, and this is where we stash it. Check out band autographs, promotional flyers, scrapbooks, mothballed websites, TONS of photos, and of course our favorite holiday: Halloween!

January 1, 2010 - After a year of declining attendance, a bit of soul-searching and a conversation with the owner of Vertex (shout out to Patty!), I've decided to bring AngstLAB to a close, at least for now. I've got a plan for a new night that, while seeming to be the antithesis of AngstLAB, is actually a logical progression of the cultural mash-up model that I've followed throughout my musical career. Things are coming along nicely in my head, and I guess we'll know by this summer whether I'm party-throwing genius or just full of crap. Either way, I thank all of you AngstLAB fans and supporters for 16 truly awesome years. During that time I've watched awkward teenagers walk in, turn into adults, fall in love and raise families to my soundtracks, an unexpected and magical experience that's made the whole trip worth while. But the ride's not over yet, and I invite you to visit me at MikeDailor.com to see where we're going next. Bye for now!...
