A huge group of us celebrated the birthdays of Bransby & D-Town (Dustin) by renting a sick party/limo bus and ravaged the town…

The same group that went to his last show, plus a few more, attempted yet again to see Calvin Harris at Vanguard. The crowd was huge & I was separated from the group, as usually happens to me. I spent most of the night right on the side of the stage studying Calvin during his set. It was a dope show…

A few friends & I, thanks to the man, Brad Hoss, went to see Felix Cartal at Avalon. Dope show… Dope night…

Hard Haunted Mansion. No words can explain this weekend, but i’ll try…
Good friends, good bands, good times!!!

At some point in time, for some reason, Angela & I took an expensive cab ride…

I got a new toy, an Akai MPD24. Using it in unison, with my Hercules RMX, I’m making better mixes…

Also, I checked out a local Drum & Bass show with the homies Alex & Kassie, which was surprisingly sick. Afterwards, I got quite unsurprisingly sick… =\
I went home to Burgh Town for my birthday. I spent some time with my friends and family. & of course, I took in a Steeler game. Ironically they played San Diego, & again, unsurprisingly we won!
I don’t have any photos from this one, but Myself, the lovely Joana & Angela, & Max & Cory & their boys went to Vanguard to see FischerSpooner. It was a great night for everyone.

…& after all of this, I woke up with cookie crumbs in my bed. ;]

MSTRKRFT Album Release/Listening Party

On Monday night, there was an album release/listening party for their new album “Fist of God” at the Roxy. As soon as I got there I saw JFK (Half of MSTRKRFT… Not who you were thinking.) & Steve Aoki out front on Sunset Blvd. When I got inside, Dan-Oh was rockin it as the place filled up. I did not see Al-P, though I assume he was there. NORE came through. Now the moment we were all waiting for… (even though I’ve heard it all already) the new MSTRKRFT album! About half way through the record, Steve Aoki came in the club and the place went nuts. He set up his shit and before the album was done, he started his set. I have a new found love for Steve Aoki now. His set was BANGIN!!! He is totally out of control, dancing around an screeming in the mic between songs. He was chugging a bottle of Belvedere and soon began pouring it all over the predominently under-age crowd. He brought Andy Milanakis out, who was faded, to MC for a minute. It was not very good, but it was funny. Next up was Felix Cartal. I was very eager to watch his set as he did not use any tables or cdjs or anything. He used a program like Ableton, which apparently did most of the work for him. He did not even need headphones! I wish I knew exactly what was going on up there. Finally was Daniel Ledisko from LA Riots. He banged it out for a while, and really got the crowd movin. What I thought was shitty, is that many people at the show, each time a new DJ would come out, someone would turn to me and say, “who’s that?” Why the hell were those people there?! Anyways the show was very fun & inspiring, to say the least.
