Web Design: Pulse Recording & CYP Publishing
Thursday, July 29th, 2010
We recently wrapped up a new site for Pulse Recording and Check Your Pulse Publishing. They manage some very successful writers and music producers around today. Bonnie McKee, for example, wrote Katy Perry’s ‘California Gurls’, which was number 1 for six weeks straight.
For the site, they required a custom mp3 player, blog and twitter feed, social networking plugins and newsletter. The MP3 player was, in my opinion, the most challenging aspect of the site. It required that a separate playlists loaded based on the page you were viewing. This challenge was overcome by using conditional php tags. We are very satisfied with the overall look and functionality of these sites. Check them out.

Escape from LA
Monday, July 12th, 2010
Took a week long trip with my family last week to Yosemite National Park. It was my first time visiting the park and I am still in awe. After living in Los Angeles for the past few years, it feels great to get out of the city and experience something that is still somewhat “natural”.
We are all made of stars

If you aren’t aware, the Griffith Observatory, in Los Angeles, holds a “Star Party” on the third Saturday of every month. Fortunately for us the “stars” at this Hollywood party aren’t some depressingly self-centered celebrity. For more info on this monthly event, be sure to hit the observatory’s star party page. Photos are from the most recent party on June 19th. More photos on Flickr.
Summer’s Eve

I want to give a special shout to the very lovely and talented Natalia Brutalia. I ended an awesome birthday weekend with her and Billy Roper. We spent some time at the pool and then made a visit to the Do Over in Hollywood. Natalia runs the spanking new MEOW blog over on TheHundreds.com. There are some great photos from Sunday, including a awesome picture of yours truly. Be sure to bookmark her blog because there will be some definite treats to come.

WHO THE FUCK LET THE NINJAS IN?

Last week was a week to remember thanks to a visit from Ninjasonik. Fresh off the release of their new album, Art School Girls, the boys came through to put on a couple shows out here in Los Angeles.

A little taste of the glory.

Luchadors, burlesque dancers and comedy. Since 2002, that is what Lucha VaVoom has been bringing to the table. We were lucky enough to attend the sold-out 2nd Annual Cinco de Mayan to witness this fantastic display of sexo y violencia. The wrestling is extremely entertaining and the hosts add good comedic commentary. It actually reminds me a bit of that SpikeTV show, MXC. As far as the burlesque part of the show, the fact that all the dance routines have a high possibility of turning into a striptease, gives me a warm feeling inside. The show returns to The Mayan theater in June so be sure to check out their site for ticket info. A special thank you to Angie for the invite, it was an awesome way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!
“BADWOOD” – THEBADCHARACTER x GOODWOOD
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
Got this custom GoodWood piece in last week and I have been dying to post it. First got word of GoodWood from Telli of Ninjasonik, when I asked about his three-finger ring. I liked the whole idea of the custom wood pieces, especially since I’m not a fan of too broke for “iced-out” necklaces.
This is 1 of 1 as of now, but we definitely plan to make a few more for the rest of TBC, hopefully exploring different wood colors and even some ring designs. A few more shots are posted up on Flickr.

Nike DJ AM / DJ Premier Pack Launch Party Los Angeles
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
I had the honor and privilege of attending the Nike DJ AM/ DJ Premier Pack Launch Party in Los Angeles this past Saturday. The event was held at the Ricardo Montalbán theater. Now you probably know DJ AM (RIP) and DJ Premier, but do you know who Ricardo Montalbán is? Here let me refresh your memory. KHAAAAAAN!
Opening Night – First Fridays At Los Angeles Natural History Museum
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
Who would’ve thought that the coolest place to party on a Friday Night is in a museum? All “Night at the Museum” jokes aside, the Los Angeles Natural History Museum throws some of the coolest events every first Friday for the first six months out of the year. It’s truly a sight and scene to be experienced; dancing and drinking in the middle of a museum, while DJ lights bounce off dinosaur bones. These events are all ages running from 5:30pm – 10:00pm. They have dinner concessions and for the 21+ crowd, 3 bars. For music, two live bands usually perform in one hall, while DJs spin in another hall all night.
