Finished the mixtape!

Hey ya'll, a few updates for what's coming up:

- I was unable to fly out to Las Vegas for the Rival Schools jam, turns out due to my irresponsibility of buying my ticket on time, it prevented me from wanting to spend an extra few hundred dollars on a trip that would only last for about 3 days or so... Stupid me. I lost such a big opportunity. "Maybe next time Fish.. maybe next time."

-I finally uploaded my "I LOVE SHARK WEEK VOL. 1 BREAKS" mixtape. Look below for the download link, since I find it pretty useless to repost the album cover again and rewrite another amazing post about how awesome my mixtape is (it's super awesome sharks-and-gay-fish-touching action makes you wanna jump into some water if you know what I mean). Download that shit, PLEASE! I'll probably check it out myself to see how well it turned out (although I KNOW I could've made a more perfect mix... we live and learn).

-School is kicking my ass!!!!!.... My priorities as a student have fallen short of my dream of becoming one of the best breaks Dj's in the world. Yes, I am going to write it, ONLINE, and straightforwardly. My dream goal is to travel to all the major bboying spots (Europe, Russia, Asia, shit, everywhere!) and "plant my music seed" into all the listeners I meet. It sounds corny as hell... but damn, as the great Christopher Reeves said:

"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."

I am someone important, and someone to remember. Think about it.

SDV CREW.

Oh, and if you guys got the time, peep my boy DJ Lourawk's blog as well. The guy is probably one of the most creative people I know, as well as one of the biggest homies since he helped clean up puke I found in front of my bedroom door when I was throwing a party. Half drunk as hell, and still a homie. Can't find that too often. Damn.

YIK! No new updates... shame on me!

Alas, I am sitting here in my underwear contemplating whether or not to cram for the last hour or so before I head out for one of my finals that I didn't really go to in my Scandinavian Children's Literature class. I suppose a lot of things have been happening since I last posted an update a few weeks ago:

1. Fat Laces - Truly a fun experience up in Shoreline, it was great to know that I was doing well off after the first hour, then slowly started keeping the same pace or so the rest of the event. Looking out into the crowd and seeing that everyone else is feeling what I was playing made my night (despite frantically looking for the next song to play... it's such a pain!). You can peep the battles I Djed for on youtube at www.recbattles.com.

2. Winter Storm - This dude was shady! I'm not even going to lie, first off, PLEASE never promise someone a certain amount of money, not contact them UNTIL the day before your event, and have your DJ call YOU instead of yourself (it's your job promoter!!). Good thing I declined his offer of a meager $75 + a contract saying he would happily pay the rest of the money within "a week or so"--I really can't trust guys like these... I've lost so much money in the past from these type of guys!!!!!!! From this event I lost $25 from canceling a lousy hotel down there... thanks a bunch man!

3. LAX - Schools For Fools - WOO! First event I will be spinning at out of state! I really am excited to see what it's like out there, knowing that most of my music will be much different from what they normally play since Seattle has a different scene compared to the LAX area. Hoping to meet lots of new people down there and fully appreciating the essence of traveling and sightseeing... and it's only one week away! SHEESH!

4. Vegas? I should be flying out again there sometime in April, just have to make a few contacts to see if that's still going down, yet again, I will be excited for that most definitely!

5. Misc. Events - Music4Life, a semi-formal, and maybe a few parties are heading my way just in this springtime. I really haven't been digging around for new joints for the club, so I should be getting on that, stat.

HUZZAH! Million years of no updates.

So... I have been sluffin' as of last post. I apologize for the lack of updates, but as of December 7th, this is what's gone down:

-Left and came back from a trip from Las Vegas again for the Vegas Shakedown 4 and Claws Out 3 (LA). For the Shakedown I was able to make it to top 8 (if I recall, it's been awhile) out of 64 or so crews? Not too bad on my end :) As for Claws Out, it was more of an observational battle than anything else, didn't really feel like battling at all, nor was my body willing to cooperate (was insanely tired). There are a ton of photos, but I will put up the better ones to save some room.

-Giggin' for the SupportHER jam couple weeks ago, which to my surprise did VERY excellent as far as music went (I didn't really have any special preparation for the jam, which in a sense made me feel unprepared, but I somehow managed). I was able to successfully throw out recent jams (what you know about JT or Llyod?! HAHA) and got a pretty good response from my end.

So far no future gigs, so might as well enjoy the holiday season and wait until then. :)

WOOHOO! Two days until I'm done with my quarter!!
