Coldcut’s table is in the back.. they had the most intense amout of gear i’ve ever seen.. and their whole audio show was tied in with their video show.. everything synched up.
I was walking to the sugar factory in Williamsburg, talking to chris on the phone when I foun this impassable hole in the middle of the road.

Ah yes, a few weekends ago I hopped on the Chinatown Bus and headed down to Baltimore and DC to hang out. Chris actually beat me to the punch on this one, and posted a fantastic synopsis of his trip, which you can read on his blog.
Also, feel free to check out my flickr pics..
(you gotta be signed in and on my “friends” list to see a lot of them.. if you’re not, sign in to flickr (or get yourself a flickr acct first), then click here to see my profile, then click the link to add me as a friend, and i’ll add you back. (provided you really are a friend..)
Also, here’s some essential nutritional facts.. quite complete, i say.

Yeah so, i havent posted in a while, but that doesnt mean i’m gone. just been super busy with work, and as far as putting stuff on the web, i have! I been quite addicted to FLICKR lately. I bought a pro membership, and am currently in the process of uploading ALL of my old pictures to it (although most are ‘private’, its still cool to have them online for myself). I’m up to about 7800 now, after month 2 of being a member, and i’m waiting for next month to put more on, because i allready filled my 2gb monthly quota this month! Anyway, i’ll be making a lot more pics “public” and “friends only” soon.. just have to find the time to troll through all the sets and add captions and descriptions, change the sharing levels etc.. 7800 is a lot of photos to get through… and i’m only halfway done.
Stay tuned.
Also, stay tuned for a pic or two from my sister Jill’s college graduation!

Chris was in town this weekend, and his job paid for him to stay at the Gansvoort Hotel in the meat packing district of NYC. So we did the only natural thing.. chilled in robes by the pool and read the paper. Also, had a few drinks on the rooftop.

This evening, a group of us got together at Jesse S’s apartment in the East Village, NYC to have a little sunday dinner, chill on the rooftop and fire escape, drink some wine and proseco, and just chill out. It was a fantastic afternoon, and the weather, food, and company were perfect. We even had three sets of siblings!

Last night, Kat and I went to the Guggenheim Museum for the Flavorpill First Fridays event, with RJD2 DJing… was a great party, especially since we were drinking for free, seeing a ton of cool people, and listening to great music…. The Guggenheim was a n incredible place to have this kind of party.. so many people there, and it was great wandering around the spiral ramp with hip hop beats wafting through the air.
This picture is a composite of 6 seperate pics i took. No fancy tricks, i just went midway up the ramp, rested my cameara on the guardrail, and tilted it a little after each pic. You can see the seams where the pictures merge. Since i was using just a normal camera with a normal lense, and not really paying too much attention to uniform metering and focus, a lot of the lines don’t line up. I didnt try to correct this too much in photoshop. But its a 180 Degree vertical panorama, going from looking straight down to looking straight up.

Also, video of RJD2 on the decks… good stuff, and you can see him using the turntables to controll the digital audio stream from his laptop. Cool.

Just got back from seeing Roots Manuva at Cielo, presented by Giant Step. Good performance, although Roots Manuva isn’t really much of a dj. He mainly played random, but rockin songs, all over the map. Good crowd, and the usualy GS gang was out in full force.

Pic of random rusting and old stuff on a rooftop. I like the urban decay, and especially the old smokestacks in the background.

View looking south-west, from the east village over to around tribeca area (although you can’t see that far). This was taken in the afternoon when it was bright out, the quick exposure makes the buildings look dark.

Bren and I on the Vortex rollercoaster at Kings Island. We were young. I found this photo in an old shoebox last time I went home. I don’t know why I’m posting it.. just thought it was funny.
Also, I just bought a Flickr pro membership, so i can store lots of photos and whatnot on flickr. It’s a pretty cool service, and offers lots of flexibility. For a whole flickr photo album, check out the Winter Music Conference post, below.
>Listening to: William Orbit – Hello Waveforms
This past Wednesday, amid much confusion, I finally decided to go to the M3 Summit and Winter Music Conference in Miami Beack, Florida. I say confusion because the week before, I had been supremely confused as to whether or not to go. I had this great opportunity to go down there and work with Giant Step doing production work, throwing parties, living it up etc… but i also had work that week. I really wanted to go, but wasnt sure if i should skip out on my job.. After much deliberation, I decided that you’re only young once, and that I just needed to suck it up and skip out of the city, to sunny florida. The following pics are from my trip down there, and they can be seen in my gallery on Flickr. Make sure to leave excelente comments!

Listening to: Boozoo Bajou – Dust My Broom
Yes, this morning I actually pried myself out of bed at freaking 7 am, put on my running shoes, and trekked up to central park to run at top speed 9.3 miles (15K) in the pouring rain. Yes, this was a Sunday morning, and no, nobody was cattle prodding me to do it. I did it because I wanted to. Um, right?
Yeah so anyway, I did do the race.. the longest one I have ran so far, in an effort to qualify for the 2007 NYC Marathon, and to whip my ass into shape first “for the ladies”, and secondly for the upcoming 2006 NYC Marathon, which I may or may not get into by way of a lottery. (That the only way I can (legally)run the 06 marathon, since you have to qualify for it the previous year)
This 15K was a run for Colon Cancer.. It’s always good to run for a cause, I suppose.
This was the 3rd qualifying race for the marathon, and the longest purely running race I’ve ever done. Kind of scary thinking about running the marathon.. my legs were killing me by the end of this race, and even sitting here tonight, my hip flexors are sore, and I have a dime sized blister on the left arch of my foot.. think its time for some new running shoes, and/or new insoles. (I’ve had my most exelente Sauconys for about a year now, so its def time for a new pair anyway.)
Here’s a screen shot from my results, and a link to my results page.
In other news the rest of the weekend was not incredibly eventful… Friday night was spent.. um.. oh yeah, right.. After work, I went to meet Jill at a secret restaurant in the East Village where we had the best, cheapest and quickest Japanese sushi and soup ever.. good stuff. Then Jill went home to sleep off the rest of her cold, and I took an hour and walked from the East Village back home to the West Village. It was good, cause it was a great warm night out, and I got to listen to a good portion of this amazing audio book I am listening to… it’s called “The River of Doubt : Theodore Roosevelt’s Darkest Journey” by Candice Millard, and it’s about Theodore Roosevelt’s 1913 journey down the Amazonian River of Doubt with his son Kermit and a group of Brazilains. It’s super fantastic, and there’s a ton of stuff about natural history, rainforest ecology, presidential history, and adventure! I would defininetly recommend you read it or listen to it asap. (the abridged audiobook is available on amazon.com, but I would recommend, if you’re doing the audiobook thing, to get the unabridged version, available on the iTunes music store, and at audible.com)
So back to my walk. It was good, and as I approached 6th avenue, I walked through a giant mob on the sidewalks on the fray between Greenwich Village and the West Village. It was such a nice night, I guess everyone was just hanging out on the sidewalk… Refreshing. It kind of reminded me of living in Spain and going to Plaza Einstein to Botellon. (Although it’s a little difficult getting ahold of 29 Cent “Slap Naranja” in the West Village).
Saturday was moderately uneventful. I slept till 2 or so. (I stayed up late Friday night installing Ubuntu Linux on an old computer. I know, I’m super cool etc) After doing a few errands etc, I went to babysit a little, made some cash money, then went home to sleep for the race today.
Hmm, I feel like writing dry summaries of my weekends is kind of lame and old, but that’s pretty much what I’ve got so far.
Coming up, though, should hopefully be slightly more action packed… I’m going to Florida for the weekend next weekend, and its a distant possibility that I will be going to M3 the following weekend. We’ll see how that goes and if I can swing the plane tickets and accommodations. Oh, and the missing work. Right….

The birthday situation went well! The place was packed, and we had a fantastic dinner, and then drinks! Thanks so much to everyone who made it out!

Thanks to Juliette for accidentaly taking this video!
Packed into Good World, we had a lot of fun, drank a bit, and enjoyed the excelente DJ, who was playing, among others, Arrested Development, Carl Craig, and Haul & Oates…
my 24th Birthday party at Good World bar nyc… super ultra sparkler birthday candle, with Elea and Juliette and Chiris next to me, and Jill’s flourless chocolate cake next to the sparkler
>Listening to: Weezer – Make Believe
Ahh, back to the good ole blog.. i suppose i’ve been at this long enough. I was just listening to a nifty NPR podcast on blogging, and how its invaded our lives.. Diane Montane of morning edition was reading a story about a couple who would live their lives together through their blogs. Intense and a little overboard, i think. However it is pretty cool to have friends with blogs…and a little stressfull sometimes. With a few of my friends, it feels like before we hang out or talk, we both have to read eachothers blogs, just to catch up on the latest news. A time or two i’ve said things to my friend like “oh hey, how did that trip you were going on turn out” and the first response will be somethine like “oh come on, didnt you allready read about that online”. Yeah, pushing it, but its still an interesting cultural phenomenon.
That being said, most of the blogs i read daily nowadays are tech and news blogs.. Gizmodo, Engadget, Slashdot, BoingBoing, DIGG, and the Mars Exploration Rover blog.
In other news…. work is going ok.. one deal just fell through, but there are many more coming down the line, so hopefully a couple will pan out and i’ll be able to stop relying on my rapidly deminishing savins account for rent. To suppliment my non-income, I took back some of my duties at Takeout Marketing, doing the college radio promo, helping with mailings, etc. Not a lot of money, but its nice to stay in the industry, and to help friends out. I’m also still helping people out with computers and tech stuff, so if you need help, call me!
Valentines day, although generally cheesey and commercial, was good. Got nice gifts from my mother and sister. Also went over to Juliette’s house for a little get together cocktail party type deal. Oh and today all the chocolate is on sale, fantastic. (hmm… i really wanted that valentines day blurb to have more “edge” and “spin”, but i’m running late and rushed now, so the creativity and wit is gonna have to wait…)
Ok so i’m outta here..
Listening to: Medeski Martin & Wood – Combustication
***UPDATED!!***
Ok, so here are some cool gadgets etc that I’ve been eyeing lately.. you could call it my holiday gift guide…
– Insulated Thermos. Yeah, one with a sealing lid and a lit that tunrs into a cup.. i like the kind of slender ones they sell at starbucks.. but maybe with a cooler logo on it or something. No glass liner, either.. breaks too easily.
-40 inch LCD tv. Perfect to hang on the exposed brick wall in my studio. I hear the that panasonic got pretty good reviews.. Also, must be able to do 1080i with hdmi, ideally 1080p.
-Sony Playstation 3. Yeah so, i’m pretty much trying to boycott sony nowadays, given all their drm shit, atrac3 stupid codecs, proprietary connectors etc, but the PS3 is going to be sweet when it comes out, complete with a bluray drive.
-Shure e4c sound isolating headphones. I’ve been wanting a pair of these super high quality headphones for a while… perfect for blocking out noise on the subway, compact for travel, accurate sound for critical listening.
-“Professional” shoulder bag. Something small and sleep, with a handle and strap to carry to work every day and keep work papers in. I believe some people call that a “briefcase”. Hmm…
–Fisher Space Pen. Ok, so I actually allready use one of these, but I think it would be cool to have the acutall model of the pen that the Astronauts on the Apollo Missions, and all other manned space missions after that use.. Also, the “Cap-o-matic” style is cool, and a little cheaper.. perhaps teh matte black all metal military model?
-Leather Bound travel atlas. I was in this super ultra mega cool store called “Flight 001” last night. They sell all sorts of super yip, cool travel gadgets and accessories. I saw this small pocket sized world atlas that looked pretty cool (along with everything else in there)
More to come…
Listening to: Deep Channel – Afro Celt Soundsystem
Erg.. mgn, you might have been right about the razr v3c.. the UI is super slow, the vcast streaming video is choppy, media support not so great, start up time is slow, outside screen is dim, non transflective lcd etc… but i’m giving it another day before i completely write it off..
In any case, el weekendo was good, relaxing. Saw Syriana with Lauren, which was fantastic, and then met up with Michael et al (including Judy… fantastic!). Also, we were all given the privelege of seeing Lauren take a shot of gravy! umm…
Listening to: Trans-Siberian Orchestra – Wizards in Winter
Ahh, I really love this cold weather we’re having… good to bundle up and walk around in and check out cracked frozen puddles and snow banks and snow on roofs etc.. its fantastic. And I finally broke down and bought a scarf for this season. So the winter wear for NYC is a lot different than Boulder… no more Mountain Hardwear fleece jackets and montrail gore tex shoes.. now its wool “topcoats” and wool “trousers”.. although i’ve been secredly wearing my north face long underwear under my “trousers” and waffle weave long sleeve under my dress shirts….
Ok, time for sleep.. broker convention tomorrow morning at 8:15 am… early.
And yes, i’m still considering that Razr, which is hitting shelves on monday. Along the same lines, my “holiday gift guide” will be online soon.. stay tuned.
Listening to: Natural Selections Vol 1 by DJ Jesse Mann
Ok, while in the Brooklyn museum of art the other night with Shannon, I saw the lomo super sampler and lomo fisheye cameras in the gift shop.. super uber mega cool.. i want one of each! or just a dslr camera with a cool fisheye lens…
This weekend was quite eventfull, including triple crown, spirit, walkin round soho, and lots of sleep. Even though i dodnt really have any incredible stories or anything, i’m posting anyway.. i think i need to start posting more regularly, even if they are not “ultra super mega posts” like ive been doing lately.
The Razr for verizon is coming out in a week, and i think i’m definetly going to get it, despite the v3i will be out is the gsm flavor soon… its frusturating that verizon is a good 9 months behind cingular in terms of releasing new cool phones. They chalk it up to “reliability testing”. Puh.
Last thing, saturday night i was walking home from the L train in the west village at around 3:30 am sunday morning, and i got to see the first snowfall of the year in nyc start! it was amazing! Now i just have to get up to the mountains!
Ok and for the link… check out the new amazon maps.. they have incedible pictures of all the streets in selected citites.. creepy… Amazon Block Maps
>
Listening to: Sunset West – I Can’t Think Straight
Ok, so a lots been going on lately. I think the most effective way to cover stuff is just going to be to post random photos and write a little about them. Soo……
I was in Century 21, an excellent discount department store the other day buying socks etc, and got to see security tackle and beat the crap out of this guy who bolted for the door.. it was a pretty intense situation, especially since the place was packed, and the guy was struggling a lot…
Last week, Jeff, Genna and I went out to meet some of Genna’s friends for karaoke in Little Italy.. its was fun, and kind of weird… the bar we were in was apparently some sort of historical landmark, and had all these pictures of Italian gangsters etc hanging out there over 90 years ago. And there we were, drinking PBR and singing karaoke on plasma screens.. I bet nobody in the 30’s expected their beloved hangout to stoop to such levels for our fleeting amusement. But i guess business is business, and they did seem to have a pretty decent crown in there. In this photo, as you can see, Julie and I are singing along to 5th Dimensions “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In”, a deceptively complicated song from the late 60’s.
Moving on…
Ah yes, Jacob is now in Switzerland. The other day Sarah, Jacob and Charles came into the city to enjoy the rain etc… we ended up going to the natural history museum for a few hours, which was incredibly cool, as usual. I always love going to that place, especially the dinosaur area and the mineral hall.. they have a couple super cool pieces of Amazonite and Rodocrosite (although not as cool as the star specimen in the Coors Mineral hall in Denver, CO). Also, in meteor area, they have a neat display talking about how atmospheric resistance on entry causes the dimple like pattern on the outside of the meteorites….its cool cause they look almost exactly like the dimples on a golf ball…coincidence? I think not. (Perhaps i shouldn’t be so fascinated with this since i graduated the 3rd grade a number of years ago.. but whatever, its still cool). Also on display is a super neato Ventifact from Antarctica, the highest, coldest, windiest, harshest continent on earth. A ventifact, as the name implies, is a rock that’s been carved and eroded by wind.
The next morning, after kicking Sarah, Jacob and Charles out of my apartment(we had gone drinking after the museum the day before), I was picked up by Jill and Jesse and the three of us drove out to Barton Orchards to do some apple picking. When we got there, not only did we pick delicious apples, but we also took fun pictures, took a hay ride, ate doughnuts, and listened to the incredible musical talents of THE HOT ROD BAND! Also, there were all sorts of cool apple crates everywhere, which I really liked taking pictures of.. I don’t know what it is about these crates, but I like them. I found similarly cool apple crates the week before while apple picking in Ohio.
Ok, Gilles Peterson. Incredible. As I was coming home from dinner with a friend, I passed Canal Room and remembered that my favorite DJ in the whole world, Gilles Peterson was playing there, and that the party was sponsored by my old record label. So I called up Mimi (whom I used to work with) and she came out and brought me through the huge line and into the club immediately. Its good to have connections. Anyway, Gilles’ set was AMAZING, and the whole place was packed. And I might have even danced. A little. Maybe. To give you an idea of the atmosphere, check out this VIDEO CLIP. Its dark and the audio clips, but its better than nothing.
And finally, Wonderwoman. Last Sunday Charles and I hit up the Digital Life convention at the Javits Center. Its an annual convention for consumer electronics.. more of a showcase than convention.. its always fun to go check out what’s new and stuff. Anyway, Charles and I were standing on line waiting to get tickets, when both Flash Gordon and Wonderwoman came up to us. Naturally, we focused on wonderwoman, and she was truly wonderful. We chatted for a second, and then i was lucky enough to get a novelty style photo with her. Yadda Yadda, she’s in a rock band and is really cool.
So that’s pretty much what’s been going on lately. Now, amidst all this, you might wonder how i am funding all this and what I’m doing during the day. The answers are I don’t know and Nothing. Since moving to the oh-so-posh west village, I’ve been paying incredible amounts of rent etc. I think the going out to eat for every single meal has something to do with it too. Also, I’m in the process of job hunting. I stopped working at Giant Step a month ago. This was actually an extremely hard decision to make. They weren’t really paying me very much there, and I felt like my job was kind of an intern type job, but with nowhere to move within the company any time soon. However, Giant Step happens to be one of the coolest companies I’ve ever worked for… their market, music, and most importantly employees are top notch and super cool… so it was always fun and excitement working there, its just that the money I was paid for the amount of time I spent there just wasn’t cutting it. So I’ve been hunting around for a while now, and currently, I’m planning on diving into the real estate industry. I feel excited about it, and have a good deal of backing from my family and friends… and some in-family experience to help me along. Presently, I’m considering two different job offers, and I hope to make my decision and start work sometime next week. But its still going to be a sketchy operation. The way this whole real estate brokerage industry works is on commission. That means that I will have no salary, I’ll only get paid when I make a deal. I’ve been told to expect to make absolutely nothing in at least my first year.. scary, but the potential reward its intense, so I hope its worth it.
Whew, long post, but I needed to get all that done. Thanks so much for reading all the way to the bottom, and please please, leave me a comment!
Hooah, busy busy busy… Looking for a new apartment, looking for another job, getting ready to go to the BVI next week, going to some cool shows. More soon, i’ve got so much cleaning to do tonight… Ack!
Oh, and Jason (my brother) just left to go backpacking in Alaska for a month.. wish him luck!
Listening to: The Herbaliser – Take London
Ok, so as you might have guessed, I’ve been busy lately. Very busy. NYC is indeed a crazy town, always on the lookout to swallow you up and return you to the ‘burbs. (which, I’ve gotta say, do have their merits and sound pretty good for this upcoming 4th of July weekend… hola long island!) Zee job situation has changed a bit, music has changed, people have evolved, and my iTunes just faded from James Brown to Daft Punk….The irony.
So I’ve been taking a ton of pictures lately with my excelente Canon SD-300 (Although I’m going to upgrade soon to the SD-500, and get the scuba case for it for our trip to the BVI in a month)….What follows are some good representative photos from the last couple weeks, with my questionably appropriate comments… Enjoy, and please, please, PLEASE, comment on them, will ya?
Ok… got a job at Triple Five Soul as resident DJ… its fun and exciting dj’ing in stores, because i’m pretty free to play whatever, and get to talk to a ton of people…. being in SOHO is fun too….
My mother and I went to see a cool work by Daniel Buren at the Guggenheim called Eye of the Storm, featuring a huge mirror that did interesting things with the building.
Cool.. Beautiful sunset on the lower east side.. Considerably different silhouette material than I’m used to in Colorado, but I guess it has its own character… The watertower is cool.
Chris, Juliette and I went to a questionably thievery corporation show at Spirit the other day.. Interesting show, althought we got their a little late, and I felt that their performance seemed a little canned.. prerehersed, just going through the motions….
However, they did pull all the girls up on stage at the end, which was moderately entertaining, especially when a few of them pulled out their digital cameras to take pictures of the crowd. Definitely
So… long story, but what it boils down to is, my father and I were walking around on Elizabeth street, and got sucked into this store to look at this car. Its a 1985 white Lotus Esprit, with a custom plush white leather interior. And… it was for sale. So my father and I looked at it, and decided to seriously consider buying it. It was going for $35,000.00, which sounded like a pretty good price for such a cool car… we’re still considering our options, so check back for the outcome….
Ah, Jenna’s glad we’re here! Or so says her coaster. Jenna, Jeff, Amber, me and a couple other people went out to Galapagos in Brooklyn the other day for a fun and exciting little party.. with a cool dj, and great rock band…
This is me, and Latke, my 5th cousin Perri’s birdie. Latke is cool, and likes taking little showers in the sink. Perri is cool too, although its my guess that she takes showers in the shower. Perri and i went out to the beach that day, walked around long island, then came back and had a bbq with her parents.. relaxing!
Ah, Jessie K and I went to see Dick Dale, the king of surf guitar at bb kings.. its was excelente, just ask Jessie K!
And finally… Twitch Studder playing at Pianos on the lower east side.. they used to call themselves stupid, but changed their name.. this pic is of the lead singer, Dana Ehrlich, screaming into a megaphone… intense!
Yes, that’s pretty much it for this installment of pictures…. did you like it? Should I continue to post pictures, or just type stuff up? Talk to you soon!
