Over 90,000 people showed up for EDC 2009 but it felt like only half of them stayed for PVD. What a shame. Actually, even though PVD closed the event I enjoyed KASKADE a little more. If PVD spun a lil Stay There then I might have had a change of heart. Here are some clips from Paul Van Dyk's set.

About 20+ of us went to EDC over the weekend and we all had a blast. The Skittles Crew definitely danced the night away. Sure there was a 45 min technical delay and sure the long lines made it impossible to get on to the main floor. But the music and vibe were amazing and I'm pretty sure that any one of the 90,000+ attendees would agree with me. Here are the two videos of KASKADE that I recorded. I'll be posting some others pretty soon.

Move For Me

Angel On My Shoulder

I Think That Possibly Maybe...

New on my iPod is a tune called Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg. You might recognize this song from a certain AT&T commercial with those hidden bars in the background. I think this guy sounds like a more upbeat Damien Rice, if that makes any sense. Give the tune a try and if you like what you hear then head on over to this link to download the song.

The Tricky Part About Half Dome

A bunch of us guys spent the past weekend attempting to hike up Half Dome. Congrats to the five guys that made it all the way to the top and better luck next time to the six guys (including myself) that didn’t make it. Here’s a quick clip of NP explaining, with a button, why hiking up half dome is so tricky. For those of you that don’t know what a button is, click on this youtube link and watch Jim Carrey explain. 

These People...

You know a story is compelling when Ira Glass makes it the introductory story to a This American Life episode. My favorite podcast spent the first 15 minutes of last week’s show, titled Turncoat, summarizing the controversy behind San Jose City Councilmember Madison Nguyen and the naming of a certain Vietnamese business district located on a certain Story Road (they actually say Story Road in the piece. Represent!). Even if you’re already familiar with the situation I still highly recommend clicking on this link and listening to the first piece. It’s always interesting to hear white people talk about how crazy our parents are. Thanks to Mishael for the heads-up on this.

EDC, the Electric Daisy Carnival, is only 35 days away and is gonna be held at the LA Coliseum. It looks like DJ PM will be making a special guest appearance on the Saturday of that weekend. Last we heard, DJ PM was hiding underneath a four-toed statue. But apparently Jacob was such an asshole neighbor that DJ PM just had to leave that island. If anybody else wants to come out, then just let me know and DJ PM will do his best to hook it up with the VIP treatment. If you're thinking about coming out, here’s a little taste of what you might be seeing/hearing
