“I know you guys get a lot of these e-mails, and just because I ask doesn’t mean you’re going to do it, but I really need Steve Aoki himself to read this and respond to it, I don’t care if it takes him days or months, but if he doesn’t I will stab myself in the face with a plastic fork.
My name is Danny Fu. I’m 5′6 and Chinese. Yesterday you dropped the best set I have ever seen live at Kelly Mission Rock. Definitely had mixed emotions for the new things you’re doing, but by the end of the night I was so mind fucked and speechless. You might remember, probably not though. My friends and I thoroughly harassed you while you were downstairs to sign our shit. Apparently you were only signing Dim Mak merch, which pissed me off because as a little raver bitch, of course I bought your beard tank (i wish you released it in a black that would be dope). We somehow got your attention because my friends had my back and was belligerently yelling that I’m your biggest fan. I know you hear this a lot but i definitely feel like I am. I’m just going to recount two stories for you.
1) My first rave ever was POP this year in Daly City. I’ve always been into house/electro/techno etc., but the rave scene didn’t blow up for me until this year. I’m going to tell you right now that your set at POP single handedly blew it up for me. You opened with King of Africa (discouraged you didn’t open with it at EDC or KMR last night), and all hell broke loose for me. Fist pumping like a champ, belligerently nodding my head to the beat. Couple songs down the line and you’re dropping Warp. Midway through when it’s going to drop, you’re up on the amps and gesturing for everyone to scoot in so you can do a dive. Me and my friends are smack dab in the front and in the middle. You jump right on top of us, and I ended up grabbing your arm. I’m going to tell you that I have never enjoyed touching a man as much as I did when I touched you. I have a girlfriend, I’m comfortable with my sexuality, but it felt pretty fucking cool.
2. EDC. A little bit discouraged that Cosmic was more about Dim Mak as a while instead of you, but definitely had a good time. I’m up against that black fence that reaches up to my nips, and there’s that gap that’s just open where all the dancers were. I end up hopping it when i see people are starting to go around the fence. I’m on the fucking amps all of your set, smacking the shit out of them everytime the beat drops. Couple songs through and you’re getting ready for a stage dive. You’re climbing the x-bar post on the left side of the stage (your left my right). Literally everyone in Cosmic starts shifting to the right getting ready to catch you. I’m in the middle and I wanted to touch you again, but I was thinking “fuck it, he’s kind of far and I don’t wanna lose my place”. So since everyone’s shifting to the right and I’m staying put, There’s this gap between the mass of people you’re on and where I”m standing. You start getting surfed a little and I start running toward
s you. I am literally fucking running towards the mass of people. Right before the I leap and my momentum is still carrying me forward, hoping to grab onto something. Next thing you know I’m Kung Fu gripping the shit out of your left ankle, definitely got a piece of your Supras too. So at that point, I’m 2 for 2.
So yesterday I was set on going 3 for 3. I got you to sign my 10 and write “AOKI MONEY” on it, thanks again since I didn’t buy any merch.You said you wanted to see the picture of you on top of us at POP, so I’ll attach a photobucket link at the bottom of this message.
But the point of this e-mail wasn’t to show how big of a groupie I am or to be a brown noser. But I’m going to be attending UC Davis this Fall as a freshman. I’m majoring in clothing in textiles. Growing up I was really into street wear, the likes of Huf and Supreme. I didn’t skate, and even though everything that Supreme and Huf stand for (skate culture, adolescence, punk rock) was a little before my time, everything was appealing and clean. Over the past two years my style has strayed from that, in part because a lot of brands are trying to do new things, and I no longer agree with their concepts behind the graphics. More in to pokcet t’s, v neck’s, skinny pants, and beanies. A lot of people in my major are trying to find internships at school, doing bitch work for big corporations, inventory and stock bull shit. I already work for Baskin Robbins and Yogurtland and have saved a cool amount of cash from it. But I was wondering if there was any job title I could take on with
Dim Mak, specifically with clothing line. My major is specifically aimed at fashion marketing. Anything you could find me. You could send me fliers and I can do work as a street team member. I mean anything, just so it could be something I could list as a job reference. I’d be a volunteer to say the least. I dunno just a thought, I could understand why you wouldn’t give out internships and what not to people like me that e-mail you. But you threw it down fat last night, bummed you’re not going to be at Hard Haunted this year but I’m definitely going 4 for 4 soon enough.

It appears she’s been putting some extra hours in at the gym? Or started a new diet? Or none of the above??
