DJ Erin off to pinker pastures

Some girls get married and embrace the domestic life, but Erin Pimm, a.k.a. DJ Erin, a familiar sight behind the turntables at Tommy Africa’s and Garfinkel’s over the last five years, is definitely not some girls.

Pimm, who’s lived in Whistler for the last 12 years, met and married husband Brendan French, a Calgarian, this summer at the iconic Burning Man counter culture event in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.

Their good news is somewhat bad for Whistler fans of the popular DJ as the two have decided to move to San Francisco to become a part of Pink Mammoth, an eight-member creative collective focused on the production of music, art, private parties and club nights.

While Pimm says she’ll be back for visits, her regular appearances at Tommy Africa’s Goodtimes club night are coming to an end. This Saturday she’ll spin a farewell set of hip-hop and funky house tunes. "Pretty standard Saturday night fare," she calls it, although one wonders if Erin is ever capable of being standard.

Guaranteed, this is one girl who’s going to go out in style.
