Justice

The last week of April was crazy. All of April in fact. I got the offer from Popcap in mid April, gave my 2 weeks and just quietly worked and waited to GTFO. The combination of an auspicious weekend which rolled into my last 3 days of work led to nonstop partying. On my last day of work, I saw Justice with Tu/Tram/Mathiew.

Flew out on Friday to go to Nocturnal Wonderland. Barely ate a thing and went straight to the outdoor dance fest. Amazing night. Crashed, woke up and did it again. Drove to Houston to eat, rest and fly back to start my new job the next day. Artists I saw: Day 1: Bingo Players (great), Röyksopp (euphoric), Tiësto (euphoric), R3HAB (closer), Datsik (I mistakenly ran toward the stage thinking it was Araabmuzik lulz) Day 2: Adventure Club (they remixed Rick Ross, interesting dubstep group), Chromeo (full set), Morgan Page (day 2 fun), STS9 (Heard Scheme out of my left ear while sitting down at the Steve Aoki stage), and Calvin Harris (barely remember).

Chromeo

4/20 Friday- started at Barca, then went to ETG and saw PillowTalk. They were great. Fun crowd was really into the music.

I was hiphop that night

Ate at Serious Biscuit for AM's birthday weekend on Sat. The fried chicken biscuit was gud.

Killed it. Great show, good energy from the crowd. They didn't play The One though.

In the late 90s I was a wannabe skater. I wasn't very good mainly because I didn't skate enough or had enough friends who skated as well. Had a buddy Luke who I skated with on tennis courts and we would bring a folded up table around to use as a platform. Had a Think skateboard deck, thunder trucks, lucky bearings, and spitfire wheels. Put some sanrio stickers on the bottom (why?!). Wore Globe and Etnies shoes (still do). Could only do a basic ollie, pop shuvit, old school kickflip, and stance switch. I especially remember owning this skate video by Girl (I still wear their tshirts) called Mouse. Skate videos back then introduced me to some great music.

Still love and appreciate skateboarding. That's why I've played every Tony Hawk and EA Skate game since they came out.

Awesome hard English rock. They remind me of Stone Roses mixed with Oasis. Great show - the lead singer was a complete rockstar. Me and Calvin celebrated my Popcap offer at Kasabian, Tu+Tram went to see Miike Snow at Paramount, we met up afterward to continue celebrating.

Love the Neptune theatre. Old small theatre converted to a concert venue. Undersea decorations abound. Cults were good. The huge projection overlay was trippy.

Got my dance on

Amazing to watch the huge crowd move

Multi-weekend post:
Lucky was at Wamu Theatre- we [Tu/Tram/Calvin/May/Mathiew] saw Hardwell, Porter Robinson, ATB, Calvin Harris, and a bit of Flux Pavilion. Had a great time even among the crazy/skanky college kids. Continued to party late that night and then again the next week for Tu's bday weekend. Saw an awesome Boys Noize Records DJ Set at Chop Suey, and then Of Montreal the following night (and 2nd rave).

Side note:
Been listening to reggae lately. Really liking Rebelution, SOJA, Natural Vibrations, John Holt, and more.

Last weekend Brian and I went snowshoeing at Stevens. I forgot how much of a workout it was and overdressed. Thankfully Brian wanted the extra weight in his bag since he's hardcore like that.

As of today, 335 hours into SSFIV(AE2012) and 120 hours into SF4. 10 hours on PC makes for a total of 465 hours into the game. Pretty damn good for a game that's been around since 09.
