This weekend was kinda unbelievable, not in a fantastical sense, more in that it was really dope the whole time.
The whole weekend started off Thursday on a great note, when Chi Duly and Holmwrecker sent over a mashup of Silver Medallion and Empire of the Sun that’s kinda phenomenal (performed it last night to good response). These guys have been bangin out some mashups for us (Centerfold over Prince’s I Will Die for You? Sped to 150 bpm!!))
Thursday night was a fan’s birthday, so we were performing at PCL for her party. It was a ton of drama, like the sound check from hell (wireless mics needing double a batteries, mixers hooked into mixers etc). Carnegie caught the Party Bus from Villagio (which I am now officially out of!!! Goodbye college hedonism, welcome back Scottsdale) while Jason and I downed steaks and a bottle of wine at City Hall. We rocked the show and went to Jackrabbit where BK took a bunch of pics of me that look awesome (ur the man), I grabbed some shots with Soulman and then ended up with some girls at Mickey’s Hangover, where the food sucked and my man and I got into squabbles with the waitress, and at 5am I was at the casino to eat more sucky food and we lost like 15 dollars…
I don’t really remember Friday, we were arguing about the record contract most of the day (what a general mess), then I djed Lyte for an hour (I have one one hour electro set that’s tight which is what my djing has digressed too, on the plus side the djs I manage are killing it). After that I almost went to Vegas to get married (long story) but didn’t (whew) and ended up at Party Foul (better story) where Kill The Noise was playing, Ali was buying me Patron, me and shorty were drinking PBR, Craig and me had a moment, and we took ridiculous photo booth pictures. I like Party Foul, I didn’t even dance my face off and still had a great time and spent like 20 bucks for two people with a good headlining dj and drinks.
Saturday me and shorty ate dinner on Papago mountain (more like large hill of sand), caught my man Shane’s (owns the shop I got my chest inked at, Imperial tattoo, I recommend highly, they’re all super good guys) band at Hollywood Alley, went on a lasertag date (I still have bruises, but I was a damn assassin in there, it was kinda awesome), and ended up falling asleep on a mattress in my living room.
Spent the afternoon yesterday at the Mondrian pool after getting all our work done, it was like couples day we all had our girls and it was hilarious and we ordered in pizzas to the pool and my non-partying friends tried to act like they we’re party kids it in front of their girls and drink what I drink (double absolute 100 with a splash o cran) and that went all bad for them and some band from Finland picked up our tab and we almost got in trouble for making out in the cabanas.
After that we played our show at Yucca which was cool, show was aight… They we’re filming it for tv but it turned into the Silver Medallion rated R comedy routine and I have no idea if there is any part of the show they can actually put on tv… The interviews outside are absolutely ludicrous, I’m sonning Ocean (watch your tongue homie, I do this for a living) and Epidemic is super loveable and Carnegie looks like the black Paul Bunion (sp?) and when the going gets weird the weird turn pro.
At this point the record deal is taking forever and I’m unhappy with everyone involved (step your business up), and I’m just happy we’re speeding right along with the google stuff and some new blog business related work we’re putting together.
On a related note this blog will be changing its url to be redirected off getyourswagup.com in the near future and its appearance and content will be changing slightly but not too much… Thanks for everyone who reads who have actually put me in a place where I have enough hits to sell advertising starting soon etc. Kinda awesome.
