Happy Thanksgiving

My dad sends me about 30 emails a day. He's like a 15 year old little girl with the internet. I'm feeling this one though.



Nice one dad

Sale....ing...take me away

Mark your calanders

Catching up

It's been along time since posting but I've been busy so screw it. I went to Hawaii on Wednesday to play a fashion show for the surf company Hurley. I do alot of these shows for them called Walk the Walk with drummer Bobby Alt. He was the drimmer for S.T.U.N. and now has a drum/percussion outfit with his brother Adam and friend Frank Zummo called Street Drum Corp. These guys are super nice and you can probably check them out of the Warp Tour or similar events. They tour like wild men too. Basically I DJ and Bobby plays drums to it as a fashion show goes on. When we first started doing these shows it was to show Hurley's line for that season but they have developed a pretty cool program for high school kids around the idea. Usually 3 high schools in an area are given Hurley product to redesign, then all the schools are invited to a fashion show where a panel of celebrity judges pick their favorite. The winning school is given a nice big check that goes towards there arts program. All the schools that participate get money for their school as well. It' a really great idea and it always execute well. 1500 screaming kids is no joke, sometimes I feel like the Beatles on stage even though they aren't screaming at me. I also got asked to play some proms, so I got that going for me which is nice. So back to the story at hand. This events was in Honolulu at the Pipe Line Cafe. I was psyched when I got there because I walk in and there is a huge poster advertising Trinere, Debbie Deb and Shannon playing there at the end of the month. How come Hawaii gets all the good shows? That show is freestyle lightning! Anyway,the show went off fine but it was a long day. I had landed at noon, started rehearsal at 1 and played a regular set along with the fashion show finishing at almost 11pm. Slept for about 3 hours then headed back to the mainland. I didn't even get to catch up with Magnum, Rick or TC. Next time fellas!

1500 wild ass kids



Couldn't miss Thursday at Dance Right. Mr Choc has been illin to come play some dance records for the wild kids. It's funny when guys like Choc or Melo-D come through and drop dance stuff instead of their usual hip hop fare. They get such a kick out of it and destroy pretty much any other guest we get. You know why? They have S-K-I-L-L-S!

Next post: I'll post about Saturday's epic Rockognized #5 party that was like a gigantic rave but in a good way. The kind when music is still fresh before all the weirdos and tweakers decide to show up in dresses after swallowing a case of glow sticks.

I got a fever and the only cure is more steel drum!

Feeling nice today. Been a long week of work and DJing but the week is almost over. Blu Jemz and I are playing tonight in Venice for a Smart Car event. We were told no house or rap music, I think I'm fine with that. Sunday the Igles and Cowboys square off. I'm hoping the beginning of this season was some kind of decoy to set Dallas up to lose this game but I doubt it. Andy Reid's been too busy running drugs with his kids. Also, quick shout to Mike B for helping me hold down La Cita last night. I got my fix of classics in for the week. I know it isn't 1998 or whatever, but classic hip hop is where its at. I don't care if girls won't dance to it, still sounds good to me. Good times!

So today I have 2 covers, both with steel drums in them. Might as well keep a theme.
