Clown Alley Review

May 22nd, 2008 1 Comment

It’s starting…some people have gotten their hands on my new DVD “Clown Alley” and I’m starting to see reviews on it. This one in URB Magazine caught me off guard since I had no idea they were doing it; I actually flipped to the page to check out the review on “Bush’s War” and Daft Punk’s “Electroma”. This is the first print review of Clown Alley, and I’m psyched!

Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom Huck Jam!!!

May 14th, 2008 4 Comments

The neverending adventure that is my life continues as I embark on a new voyage. This time, I’m joining Tony Hawk, Kevin Staab, Sergie Ventura, Jesse Fritsch, Neal Hendrix, Kevin Robinson, Dennis McCoy, John Parker, Matt Buyten, Drake McElroy, Greg Garrison, and Jason Ellis as the show’s opening act. As an added twist, I’ll also be handling the music and on-screen treats during the entire show! This is something that’s never been done in the history of both action sports and turntablism, so you can probably guess that I’m hyped beyond words. I’ve been spending the past few days at Tony Hawk Industries, hanging with the whole crew, familiarizing myself with past Huck Jams, working on 2008’s show, and most importantly celebrating Tony’s birthday.

There are so many things unfolding, but right now I need to wrap my head around the task at hand - pre-production.

Home, Sweet Home!

Blue Man Group’s “How To Be A Megastar 2.0″. Whew, it was a tour like no other…February 2007-May 2008, over 200 shows (not counting the ones I had on “day-offs”). It was an experience of a lifetime, where I got to play for packed arena crowds for more than a year and worked with one of the most amazing groups of people the entertainment community has to offer. I’m a lucky bastard, most artists would be lucky to have a handful of the shows that I’ve been doing for over a year. So if anyone from BMG is reading this, THANK YOU. You guys have your pick of the litter and you chose me. Lucky for us, I don’t suck. The level of talent on stage every night was phenomenal and inspiring, from Blue Man to the band (which by the way, just so happens to be made of world class musicians).

So I said my good-byes, which felt similar to when I say good-bye to my family and friends before I leave home. Maybe because for the most part they have been my family. I have the utmost respect for them and I can’t wait for a reunion!

Feels great to be home…for the moment.
