Drift Day 35 - Season Closer

i got a new camera and lens, and i brought it to the track. man does it make a difference from when shooting with the D90 and my shitty 70-300 f4-5.6.

Quadruple the Lost

Chicago has lost two couple to different cities.

One pair off to SF and another to Bangkok.

I didn't get to capture Chalida and Mike's farewell gathering, but that will always be in my memories. As for Cat and Gavin's, we have their performance of Purple Rain at Sakura Lounge.

Miriam Makeba, Pata Pata

feel good music.

Angled Lines

Angeled Lines, now this is an awesome video, period.

Drift Day 32: MidWest Cup Round 2 from Angled Lines on Vimeo.

T2 needs to step it up, actually he just needs to make videos if he wants to keep his hype. Angled Line's DD32 video, everything about it is perfect.

hmm...

i don't know what to do with myself these days. feeling a bit lost.

New favorite Classic! Hey Love Stevie Wonder.

why is it that people don't realize the results of their words and actions can cause pain in others?

Fuckery

reuniting with folks you thought have changed sometimes doesn't work out as much as you hoped, sometimes not at all. instead it revives your childish ways and things are back to how you escaped them.



recalling memories, my mother use to sing "underneath mango tree" when doing work around the home. humming it, singing it. she said it's a song that they use to sing when she was in burma. now, whenever i hear this song, i feel nostalgic. i can envision my sun filled house (before my father decided tear it apart and remodel it to his liking), and i am sitting at our over sized dining room table and my mom adjacent to me, doing the dishes. after i was twelve, or so, i rarely ever heard my mom singing it. then again, that's when i rarely saw her or anyone. days when i just wanted to escape.

DJ Limbs and Butter

I'm late on this, but y'all should buy this 45. there is a limited of 250 pressed, if you want to save on shipping and live in chicago (or know me) hit me up, i'll be sure to let limbs know! and if not the 45, the digital. it has awesome art, awesome vocals, and awesome beats! Support good artists!

Update?

i feel i should update on what's going on in my life/head.

well i am going to share this with the folks who reads my blog, a [music] video. music produced by the flashbulb, or benn jordan. video is also done by him but also with the help of rodger! i think it's pretty...


anywho, well starting off with my final projects. i didn't do the mural thing, i changed my mind about 3 times and decided to do it on my mom's surgery scars. since they a bit personal, i ain't going to post them on the web...

as far as soul sauce, it's continuing! maybe not for long, not enough folks roll through. it's unfortunate, but at least limbs and i play each other, and our friends, awesome soulful tracks. so if you are reading this, come to one! there is one every 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month. Soul Sauce #6 is happening tomorrow at Risque Cafe!


DD30 was awesome. staff delegations went smooth, no problems at the track, and no photos from me...

DDBeta at Rantoul was interesting, it's was like basically a huge parking lot with a hangar in the background.









i did take photos at one party, but man, underground party scene for me... i can't even stand to be in the environment for more than a minute. the myour house scarred me, i don't know if it's a good thing, or a bad thing. probably a good thing...

so it's summer time... we shall see what adventures await me!

I'll Always Love My Mama, The Intruders

I watched the Simpsons, and they had this song at the ending credits. I'll Always Love My Mama, The Intruders. I realized the Simpsons got some good stuff every now and then...

Dustin Shuler

the artist, dustin shuler, of the berwyn spindle had lost his battle to cancer.

A Song for Mama

I wasn't near a computer yesterday, but this is for my mom, grandma, aunties, and all the moms in my life.

Mural

So I ended up not doing the mural thing for my final project. I did go around taking photos of 15 different photos, but because of some places where the murals were so big and the area for me to take the photo of them were so narrow, I had to take sections of them and photoshop back together. I started shoot pretty late, and these murals take forever to sew together. I decided to do a project about my mom's pain. Which I am sure my teacher will absolute love, because it has so much content and meaning in them (GAG!).

So much in a tiny-ass apartment

Jerry Butler, Never Gonna Give You up!

BIG ASS UPDATE!

imma post crap that has been going on for the past month.

i've been working on final projects, murals around chicago. since daley has his anti-public art policy, i've decided to capture what I can before they go down (the mayor and his crew are pretty adamant about it) . my teacher isn't too hot about this idea, but I think it's great since i don't see many folks documenting the talent in and around chicago, only in NYC, LA and foreign places ie. london.








I had a fundraiser/birthday party. Fundraiser was for Heiruspecs' band memner, Muad'Dib, unfortunately we didn't raise all too much money. I believe one reason was because I had an ass of a friend who wouldn't watch the door for me for pay and free drink... piece of shit mother fucker...

I definitely would like to thank everyone who showed up though, it was pretty fun and great!



Shot photos at 'Die Tonight', a member's only party and something with Sonoteque opening up as Beauty Bar...






DJ Limb's got his own dance party thing going on now at the Redline Tap, The Booty Caboose! It was an exciting and fun party. I met an old man who had some interesting stories on Myanmar.












I actually started DJing with Limbs at Risque Cafe. Our gig is called 'Soul Sauce', where we play soul all night every 2nd and 4th friday of the month. So far we done 2 gigs, and I love it!



Then I recently went to Urbana Champaign for the first time in my life with Limbs and Erika. It was for a breakdancing competition, IL Breaks 7. YUP! it was tons fun, I felt like I was in the movies the whole night, then when the morning came, I felt like I was at Drift Day for some reason, mustve been all the testosterone.












Oh yes, Rob came in from Japan. It was great seeing him. Crab and Pam got married. I also designed a flier for Drift Day 30, W00T!



Then I am documenting an Asian-American Showcase tonight at the Abbey Pub, Declare Indie 3.



Tomorrow I am off to DETROIT! To visit my girl, Kristine!!

whew!
