AudioDose Crew, HI LIFE SOUND SYSTEM

Rap show at the croc. Too tired to stay for Hieroglyphics, but Hi Life was awesome.
Hi Life Sound System
Dayton 240W Sub Amp + Clark Synthesis TST209 = omg
The old Yamaha amp couldn't handle driving the two transducers at 4ohm anymore- it just clicked off when any signal starts to feed the shakers. It's ok though- it was only a matter of time till I wanted a proper amp to drive them. What a huge difference the Dayton Audio SA240-B 240W makes. I had to wire the transducers in series in order to get them to work (great tech support from parts-express)- no more L/R effects- L/R was too subtle to make the distinction anyway since they were both mounted close together.
The chair is now pretty much a body massage chair now. Songs with thumping bass feels like a punch to the kidneys. Awesome to sit it in it and let the music wash over me. Have yet to try it with a driving game, but I'm sure it's just as amazing.
Crying Spell, Good Hurt
The Crying Spell were good- sounded better live than their studio album. Derivative, but enjoyable 'New Wave' sound. The best songs of the night were cover songs. Crying Spell covered Moving in Stereo, How Soon is Now, and The Good Hurt covered Valerie and Bizarre Love Triangle. The crowd turned college frat-house once Good Hurt came on. Good Hurt sounded better on the album- Tramanh and I left before they played In Her Name.
Small Dinner Tubing
Went tubin'. Tu made this awesome video on his contour

Rock band fest
Fascination Movement, Sports
Great music at Chop Suey tonight- new wave pop 80s revival with variety.
My favorite band of the night: Fascination Movement. They sound like a mix of New Order, The Smiths, and Depeche Mode.
Pegasus Dream
More skiing, treasure fingers
Went to Crystal with Tu. Had a terrible time with my new boots. Feet kept going numb, my quads were burning from being in a prolonged squat position. I was definitely doing something wrong this time because I've never been this sore skiing- but it could be because I'm off the bunny hill now.
Saw Treasure Fingers- a DJ I didn't really know but friends knew of. Non stop house music. Too much 128bpm for my tastes but still had fun.
New window office at work, and more screens/2nd computer. Colleague left and I need to use her computer to do her work. Super busy at work lately.
Last few months I been paying more attention to watches. Made me think about how my brothers were (and still are) into watches when I was a kid. I would run up to my brother Kam and spin his dive watch bezel and run away giggling. Doesn't help that my friend Tu is into watches too- information and material desire overload- reminds me of when I was into joysticks. I settled on a Seiko automatic and a G-Shock. Great bang for the buck on the Seiko ~$150

4th Time Skiing
Went to Stevens Pass with Peter, Kat, and Justin on Friday. Took another lesson and it really started to come together for me. 'Attack' the mountain, move the edging leg forward, press into the cuff, load and unload weighting through the turns, and more. Carl the instructor said I need to learn to do pole planting next.
Got some new gear this time. I really like the REI Triad Parka and Swix Split-Mitten gloves.
