so i was feeling a little dramatic last week when i decided to sell my only U2 ticket. i have decided to hold on to it. thanks for your interest as well, i appreciate that, but i have come to my senses.
i hung out with devon last night. she is a source of constant entertainment and informed me she has a new website, and after 5 minutes of searching i can’t find it. mebbez i suck at this internet thing.
okay folks, here is my secret shame:
i am trying to figure out my own attraction and henceforth addiction to [bleep]e family restaurants. i have been preferring places like dennys and smitty’s over trendy coffee joints for ages now. add boston pizza to that list, they got free refills. my latest haunt seems to be brothers in gas town. i don’t know why. it’s like it is so bad and tacky that it becomes good again. why can’t i feel that way about horrible music?
well, i gotta pick my battles. or something.

it looks like i have 10 days and 10 seconds of music on my system.
james holden tomorrow night, chloe the following night. yes!
music: Habersham & Phil K – Cloudbreak

Hush in Victoria on Saturday night was insane. really, as usual. DJing with Braeden is one of the most natural tag team combo’s I have ever been involved with, if not the most. the same CD got us into DJing — Sasha & John Digweed’s Northern Exposure 2, East Coast Edition. It’s mostly trancey breaks, so go figure, we played none (save one at the end) on Saturday night. But the time before .. well we played plenty.

The response to the progressive we were playing was off the hook, so we kept on playing it (even though I brought mostly breaks in my record bag). the biggest treat of the night for me was when we dropped the new Formulate remix of AFK – Dreamcache. have a look at the crowd response. (4.23 megs, dot AVI)
that video is a bit of a teaser because it cuts off just before the beat drops again..

i am selling 1 ticket for the sold-out-in-five-minutes Thursday, April 28th U2 concert.
$54. though i am sure it is worth more than that by now.. must be able to pick it up from north vancouver.

here’s another new website i made over the last few months, just launched this week:

woot. clicky for site. he’ll also be in from australia at Hush (in Victoria) on Saturday, April 30th. yeah!
i am happy ’cause

1. charles is coming over for the James Holden and Chloe shows next week
2. i finally get to meet chloe
3. kasey taylor from the awesome vapour records is here on friday
4. me and charles are gonna make choons!
5. saturday night is gonna be huge in victoria at hush — spinning with Braeden is consistently one of my favorite DJ experiences
6. thursday night is sara’s fashion show and i am djing the after party at tribeca which i hear is a cool place
7. i migrated 6 blogs from mt 2.64 on a BerkeleyDB to mt 2.661 on a more robust, faster MySQL db. and it is working. this will decrease spam initially (since there is a new address for the comments cgi .. not security by any means, just not found by the spambots yet.)
8. i made the template for pacific front recording business cards tonght. i thought it sucked and was lame but i just had another look and it is classaY! woot.
9. went for coffee with jay and talked photography for a good hour and a half! that was fun. it is nice to meet someone with the same kind of enthusiasm for photography as many of my friends in the photogroffee kroo.

okay i think that’s enough for now!
bye bye bye

here are some photos from my last visit to Hush in Victoria. note the off-the-hook-status of the club.
lifted from the Hush website:

am i excited? yes. expectations: par-ty.

here’s a new website:

which you can get to through the newly renovated project page (in the navigation at the top of this page!) or click here on projects. these are the big ones i am involved with right now outside of work hours. and a few other collaborative efforts but they don’t have websites yet.

i think this is the first time in a very long time that i am posting pictures the same day i have taken them. i don’t know why that may have been but i think it’s more a reflection of my lifestyle than anything. these are the three shots i took today.
the fire hydrant one is all about the complimentary colors, the perspective, division into (approximately) thirds, depth of field, and the fact it is a weird-ass fire hydrant. cool i say. the fire hydrant is about 50 feet from my building. i took the shot on the way home from work.
the hole-in-the-tree is from Victoria Park (in front of my place too, taken before going to work this morning) and it is all about the little plants growing inside what looks like would make for an excellent owl-home. green (life) in the greyness (abandonned by the owl). hoot hoot. woot. zope.
the last one, well this arrived in the mail today courtesy of DJ Emit. that is tim for any of you following along at home. wow, way to make my day! thanks tim you rooooool. how cool is that shirt?!!??!?!?!?!?!?! note the blue-orange/brown combo.
