I Rock I Roll Northside Festival Showcase - Shark?

Remember when I was twittering about Four Loko.
It was these guys walking in as I heard from Nora.
I thought it was some san loco rival, oh I was wrong.
Shark jumped onstage for a high energy set.
So rocking that their singer broke his glasses.
See if you if you can spot when and where exactly.
Shark? blur

I Rock I Roll Northside Festival Showcase - AKUDAMA

Akudama came on 3 beers and 2 tacos in to the night.
Fun guys who played some really nice music.
They joked about their name but I actually remembered it.
He's a little bit of what happened.
I could go much further in to detail but if you listen to their music you'll like it.
That's all you need to know.

Something very bright

Congrats to everyone involved.
Bill Pierce, Amy, the KCDC team and everyone involved created a great 8mm video.
Great street skating and miniramp action.
The sountrack was great.
The whole crew came out to Motor City Bar on Friday to premier the video and celebrate with some beers.
The room was packed and there was plenty of hooting and hollering.
We ran in to some familiar faces, shots some photos and had fun.

Falla's party was magic.

Young Associates Summer Solstice Party 2010: 3 Across

I really like how these two photos came out.
Chelsea Art Museum Young Associates Summer Solstice Party 2010
The ladies were very nice and quite funny.
There's a funny part to this story. But that's all you get.
It involves a 4th person who was not available for the photo.
Next time, oh next time.
But back to these two images the arrangements are very suttle but iconic.
Action elelement with 3 across and then almost a pyramid or triangle formation in the second.
Sometimes the people, equipment and timing all come together perfectly.

Lizzy not Maelm...

Lizzy not Maelm.
It's a joke you won't understand.
I forgot my business card.
Sending text messages to yourself on other peoples phones.
Communication hilarity or chaos will ensue.
The essence of meik!
