...hope that the House of Funk will live up to the Pad parties of yore. Spiegelman searches for Funk-specific terminology: I hesitate to even call them parties, he says, There is just much less talking involved. Its about being sprawled out on a shag rug, being exposed to Scammons music (Scammon maintains an impressive library of funk CDs) as a band.

It was up in the air for a while, but at some point it was plain we were getting somewhere, says Scammon, explaining his purchase of the House of Funk. Knowing how long it took to get this going so well...to do it all again seemed so unecessary.
