As of Late...Lovefest...and Video...and more Brit....


OK, well I posted a video that I made using Eyespot in the post below this one. It's a collage of pics and footage that I have taken at parties I've had and at this year's Coachella Festival in the Indio desert. I love music and I love to party and go out, so I thought a mix of all these things set to a rad song (by my current faves, Justice) would be the perfect vid from me.

As for the topics of this blog, Britney won't stop. I said before that I was going to stop ranting about her, and now the news she made this week is bigger than all the previous weeks. She finally had her kids taken away! We all saw it coming, and thank god, because this girl has put her party life ahead of her kids, and the entire world knows that. She craves the media attention...anything for a photo op, Brit.

Soooo...moving on from the Trainwreck City, I thought I would comment on this past weekend, which was Lovefest weekend here in San Francisco. This year was my third Lovefest, but it was an entirely different experience because I was actually working at it for my radio station. I was thrilled to be at Lovefest again, only it was not such a party for me because I had to really WORK. My station was there (the only station there!) with 2 tents and a scissor lift to raise our talent over the crowds. The promotions team (my peeps) were handing out swag and taking pictures, and our DJs were broadcasting live from the event. My job was to help promote and to set up the broadcast for the official Lovefest Afterparty which was held at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, right in front of the Civic Center Plaza. Even though I was working, I did get a chance to scurry around and enjoy the wild event, with all the great DJs spinning and crazy people everywhere. The picture above is me (in my work attire) with a friend who found me there. As you can see, she clearly got in the Lovefest spirit (and was partying hard just like everyone else there).

It is definitely a unique experience to be completely sober for 12 hours and working an event where EVERYBODY around you is PARTYING HAAAAARRRRRRD. Luckily, 2am rolled around and we were done unpacking everything at the station, so I went back with my free wristband pass to the Afterparty to enjoy the rest of it until 4am. I found a coworker milling around promoting an event that she is putting on, so I helped her hand out fliers for awhile and then finally made it home (late late late late). I don't regret not getting to really party at Lovefest, but at least I was there and I got to see the best DJs in the world for free...Sasha, Ferry Corsten, Sandra Collins. These are DJs that I have loved and admired since I was 14 years old! International Superstar DJs! My favorite thing to do is to go out and see the best DJs spin the best electronic music on the planet, and that is what Lovefest is all about. I can't wait until next year!

I dig your passion. You may want to allow your writing to be more involved with your enthusiasm for music.

I would love to see a top ten list of your favorite tracks or albums as a page element. Or, if you prefer, a list of your favorite sites to get free quality music from. I always love when people recommend good music.

If you can find stuff like good mix sets, loops and samples, downloading sites, contests & contest winners, or whatever resources that music lovers would find helpful, informative, or interesting.

I understand that it may not correlate with the topic that you've been discussing at length thus far, but it would give us an opportunity to understand you as a writer a bit more, and possibly direct you to focus on music celebrities as opposed to celebrities in general. Music reviews in combination with personal life commentary might make for a very good read.

Yeah man, love M83. I'm really jealous you saw Justice at Coachella. I went 2 years ago. Everyone just seems to go off there, playing the sickest sets. Daft Punk at Coachella seriously changed my life.

Hey hun!! She did a good job of going over exactly what we did...but I know that she assigned someone to each person that was absent to help them. I would emal her and ask who she assigned to you and get their help...I can meet you before class on Thursday too...

You don't need to fully understand what we did in class yet to do the homework though...

Hey, other than the HTML stuff, nothing much else. Let me know if you need help on that.
