ΦΡΑΠΕ ΚΑΙ ΛΑΙΚΑ

I'm a Greek DJ, Music snob and coffee lover. Mainly Frappe. This is my blog about my life, which consists of everything Greek, baseball, frappe and music.

Friday, July 5th in Greektown (Chicago) I’m throwing an old school Greek night… if you’re in the area, stop by! 

here’s a link to the event

Testing out my new speaker/mini dj set up in #greektown. My friend who owns the Greek Market across the street said she can hear it perfectly even over traffic. HA

I’m really not sure how my shipment got to me addressed like this.. but it did. HA HA HA. #GGP

#Greektown Stories::::

I go to the Ulta that just opened in Greektown today… I was looking at what colognes they had.. this homeless guy from the neighborhood was in there, spraying EVERY SAMPLE on him.. he didn’t look homeless, so the manager was asking if he needed help.. homeless guy sees me, and recognizes me and gave me this look like ‘please don’t rat me out..’

I laughed and walked out.. which is when I saw this right outside the door. Homie left his bag outside so he didn’t look homeless.

  • My Friend, Yianni: Hey.. My Friends are on the other side.. How can I get there?
  • Me: There's an opening right there, just run across.
  • Yianni: Siga re, with my luck i'll either get tackled by the cops or run over by a slow moving float.
  • Me: ahahahaaaaa.. just run real quick, they won't bother you.
  • Yianni: C'mon Yianni.. everyone knows you, can't you stop the parade real quick and walk me across?

Just got some new stuff in @greektownmusic 

  • Random guy on the street: excuse me, sir... What do you call a one dollar bill in Greece?
  • Me: a Euro.
  • Guy: A Gyros?
  • Me: Euro.
  • Guy: Gyros?
  • Me: Euro.
  • Guy: Gyros?
  • Me: Euro.
  • Guy: Gyros?
  • Me: Yes.

yes. I just did this. #greektown

  • A dear friend of mine from Vegas is in town, and he wanted to buy some cds from me.. I told him I’d lock up and bring them over to the cafe he was at.
  • I put the ‘frappe break, back in 5 min’ sign up and locked up.. I’m greeted with a free kerasmeno frappe, not from my friend (who surely would have  if he wasn’t beaten to it).. but from the bartender.
  • While I’m sitting at the table, we’re talking.. I met this other friend of his from here for the first time, and we’re just talking about the store and other stuff. I’m friends with my Vegas friend on facebook,  but it feels better to actually catch up in real life.. 
  • So the new friend I met asks me, ‘So, this guy comes into my liquor and he had this shirt on… what does.. and forgive me because i’m not that fluent.. what does ‘Gamiseta’ mean?’
  • I respond, THAT’S MY T-SHIRT!! We figured out that he grew up with my koubara’s cousins and he was the one that had the shirt.
  • This is why I love Greeks and how we’re all connected.

Να σου πω.. Εκανες ποτε στη ζωη σου, να γαμας και να φευγεις σαν το φτερω? Αυτο το λενε, hit and run.
#Overheard in Greektown. (a 70+ year old man said this)

Kid: Yo, are those real???

Me (waiting outside for the cop to come get his handcuffs he forgot) : yup.

Kid: Man.. I was just in some of those last weekend..

  • Yianni #2: Μπορω να σε παρω πισω? Οδηγαω...
  • Yianni #1: Ξέρεις το τραγούδι 'Οδηγώ και σε Σκέφτομαι?'
  • Yianni #2: Ναι.
  • Yianni #1: Το αντίθετο τραγούδι είναι 'Περατάω και Σε Γράφω Στ'αρχίδια μου'
