Four Year Strong

There's certain bands that are great for running, drinking, skateboarding and partying.
I think we just found a a new one via some friends.
The video is straight up funny with tons of mid-to-late 90's video spoofs
These guys have the synth sound of Motion City, the Beards and tats of Against ME and the Rage of Reggie and The Full Effect.
My thought if you can't grow a beard and rock this hard, just get out of the game now.
One Idea FYS vs Reggie 2009 tour...Just putting it out their.
Erica and Rob make it happen!
Four Year Strong Bada Bing! Wit’ A Pipe! Music Video

New Music by the Streets

Mike Skinner is back to his old tricks.
But the production value is getting better on the tunes.
The clip is kinda funny and serious.
Pretty much it's random shots of mike roaming around and be lost.

What if?

OMFG Warped Tour 2008, originally uploaded by thismeik.

Gossip Girls, Mad Men and shenanigans.
I guess that's how you could define this year.

B-Side Thursday be there....

Finally at warped

Girl Ska Band @ Warped 2008, originally uploaded by thismeik.

So I made it back today from another trip to Trenton.
I got some more photos from Warped Tour 08'
The Band above I heard about via a Twitter from Erica.
I heard only one song but it was pretty epic.
I think they were playing during Cobra's set.
All Girl Asian Ska Band
They're high energy, great sounding and cute.
Fletcher from Pennywise is psyched in the back.
Gabe was completely Gabe...

It felt like I was at Angels & Kings but I wasn't..
Cobra's new lady Keytarist has some pretty fancy outfits
Angels & Airwaves(tom and his kung-fu)

Some more

random photo

Last photo of the show is Reel Big Fish

Flash and and focus weren't working at this point.
It was kinda cool when all the security guards were singing along to "BEER"
Fun set and full day.

Warped Tour 2008 Part 1: Shadow of Meik!

Shadow of Meik!, originally uploaded by thismeik.

Alright so I got some photos from the Warped Tour yesterday.
Down at the Englishtown Raceway.
The trip wasn't bad except for the last 10 minutes finding the venue.
Luckily the folks at the Deli helped me out.
The vibe was weird, the kids are getting crazier
It's starting to feel like the Punk Rock flee market.
Like the 20 ft Ramones INC booth/tent thing.
Hey I understand I've been to the tour since year 2 minus the last couple years.
I had some good times and saw some friends.
Pennywise will always be amazing to me.
I wanna party with those guys one night.
So I actually do have photos since my pretendkon started working.
That's my tiny camera that was dropped in beer at Cheers in Boston a little while back that decides work sometimes or spaz.
I'm still editing Meik! Speiks 2.0.
It kinda sucks but it's funny and I put some of my tunes in it.
I wanna start doing some Meik! Speiks with some of my friends soon.
It'll be funny.
Alright time for a photo recap from Monday....
Something just seems funny about this picture

Raceway!!! Raceway Park!!!(Deep loud voice)

If you ever listened to NJ radio you've heard that commercial
Also time for a break from the crowd

The dude from the Academy is, is so skinny...

Pennywise, I love those guys

I wanna start a band that has their aggression and energy


Fletcher serving it up

Say Anything from afar...yeah I'd say way back

Say More

I thought it was a joke when Sarah mentioned "Free Hugs" signs,

They're real apparently
Cubs Win!!!!!!!!

Against me were really good.
I was kinda shocked how close I could get during their set

amazing live

The guy mixing monitors at SmartPunk looked like Josh Hartnet meets Adam from TAking Back Sunday

There's a difference between a circle pit and.......
Dumb sweaty kids who wanna punch each other and hit girls

Easy E is not your friend

Some side of stage action

I think this photo sums up the day so far.......

Don't worry we still got plenty more to catch up.

I'm hungry. I might run over to Golden Dawn for some bacon and eggs.
Or just fall asleep right now.

MeikCarren Pool journey

Meeker!, originally uploaded by thismeik.

So if you saw the video yesterday our sojourn was re-routed.
To avoid the storm and the massive lines.
After some walking and a brief stay at Biergarten we ventured to BAM.
We met up with Sassy and E.R.N. for some short films.
Some pretty funny and entertaining stuff.
After that was a stop at Moe's and then some Habana Outpost.
I fear Habana is putting cayenne pepper on the corn now.
I was having some massive hot mouth and heart burn.
Here's a couple photos of the venture.
Taxi Bike

People Carrying a Pool

McCarren Queue

Some Dunkel Weisse

Sassy reviewing safety protocol

A red faced Meik!

Finally after riding home I walked by some empty parking lots

I guess that's just Jersey

If I can't get I'm just gonna visit the Padres.
Here's to today

He's our new friend.
One of the coolest males dogs we've met.
I said male so Bella wouldn't get jealous.
Tyson enjoys fetching limes, head rubs and people slaloming.
Just look at those eyes.

So yesterday was a little bit of fun.
This morning kinda of sucked with a headache and tiredness...
Maybe even a little bit of spillage out the jaw if you know what I mean.
Not sure if it was the Wendy's Baconator or all the snacks I ate.
I was on a junk food and fast food binge yesterday
I ventured out to B-Side and a bunch of the
I chatted up some art kids that had seen me before.
It was actually a very interesting debate about Commercialism and creativity.
I spoke about my plight as I do video professional and photog for fun.
It's that weird kinda trade off you do in life to run the rat race and also have you time to run around play.
Earlier I stopped by Frag's office and had my Barq's rootbeer.
I had to get one from their fountain machine in their break room.
If I don't this will totally mess up my karma and body sugar.
The kids were in the midst of packing since they moving 30 floors up.
After my stop at B-Side I was going to stop by High Voltage.
And that's when the storm started.
So when it finally broke I just jetted to the subway to head home.
So here's my recap in pictures
Don't get any ideas

I decided to take some funny photos at Frag's desk

Smelling flowers

upgraded desk

Close up flower

My rootbeer via barqs
