This shit is just hilarious!

Missing another good show...

I have been cursed with this weird phenomenon of being out of town when my favorite bands come to play since I was 16 and I missed a Rage/Wu-Tang concert because I went to sleep-away camp in Canada. I am heading down to my old stomping grounds in Orlando tomorrow to visit some friends and "family"... coincidentally The Battles are playing at Studio B on Friday night. I have been wanting to see these guys play live since I first heard their SICK album a few months ago. Anyways, I hope that anyone that goes enjoys the show... bastards.

My rooftop on the 4th

I know it's a little delayed, but it was hard tracking down the people that were taking pics that night. A bunch of different apartments hosted a huge rooftop party for the 4th in the 'Burg. We were up there grilling from 2PM on into the night and resident DJ Code-D (my roommate) was providing musical enjoyment for the 100's of people up there. On and off rain all day long didn't keep everyone from partying on into the night... and everyone that was patient enough to withstand the rain was treated to front row seats to an insanely spectacular fireworks display on the East River. Many thanks to Sparks for sponsoring the event.

Pedal ID

Really dope tool on Pedalmafia's site lets you create your own bike, kind of like NIKEiD... except it's called Pedal ID. You have to take a screen shot to save the bike you created. That bike on the left is probably fast as hell and would get so many looks when I am cruising down the streets of the 'Burg. What would be really cool is if you can build your own bike AND then actually be able to buy it or get a price quote.

No Sleep Til... Brooklyn!

In true fashion following the advice of my favorite group of all time, I will be moving to the only other borough worth living in (at least until you have a wife and kids and get a place in Westchester). That's right, I am moving to Brooklyn. I am going to live in the hipster epicenter of the universe, Williamsburg. Tomorrow I am completing my application and handing it off to "Abe the landlord", a very friendly Hassidic Jew. More to follow once I officially get the place, don't want to jinx anything.
