New York Day 3 - 7/29-8/06

Before you read the recap of yesterday's super fun day check this song I was listening to today.... It's dedicated to a certain special person that I am missing at the moment:




So Day 3 started out with me waking up at the hotel with my Do LaB peeps.


We went over to Liberty Island to begin laying out the design of our stage for All Points West this weekend in New York.



It's a nice park with a great city scape in the background!



We started working hard... by practicing our frisbee skillz!



But seriously soon we were out in full force getting things up into the air:





And when things go up in the air, we go up with them!



And then we secure them to the ground!




Later that day, sunburned, but so happy to have been working my good good peoples at the LaB, I went and finally met up with my old college roommate.

We had some good times, though of a chilled out nature, in the East Village.

And even later that night, I got to kick it with a new friend, a really talented singer/songewriter Kim Garrison. I hope to get to jam with her before I go!


So tonight, in both New York City (even though it's wetter than clouds) and in Los Angeles, there is a ton to do!


Tonight my homeboy and I plan to do a part 2, that's as good as the godfather sequel... in other words, kill it! (Even though it's been raining like a mini monsoon all day and will rain all night)


And into tonight's events....

New York Day 2 - 7/28

Day 2 in New York started with me sleeping for over 12 hours! I guess I was really tired from the first day!

Once I finally woke up, I headed back out to the city.

On the drive there, it looked like a beautiful day.



But soon, I could see the weather changing.

And by the time I got there, it was a full blown monsoon.



Luckily, it cleared up quickly.




I went back to my old neighborhood, and took a walk through Tompkins Sq. Park.



I walked down my old street (7th Sreet) in the East Village. (2 pcs)



I walked by my old apartment. Oh the memories!




Later that night I finally met up with the good peoples of The Do LaB. Good times were had!




Ended up sleeping on the floor of the hotel room, where my thoughts went to a certain someone..... my thoughts were 'Wandering' for hours before I fell asleep xoxoxo!


So tonight I'm finally meeting up with my old college roommate.... we're going to have a ball in NYC! Watch out!




NEW YORK: Tonight check out this tribute to Sun Ra by King Britt at the World Financial Center:



Saturn Never Sleeps is a carefully curated electronic experience, created by music producer, King Britt and singer/visualist, Rucyl Mills. Combining audio-visual micro-components into a thought altering world of sight and sound. Live musicians of acoustic and electronic inventions come together in creating the sonic bubblebath for your listening pleasure. Visuals add the dimension needed to transport you into a different place.

For this special mission, we are dedicating the night to reconstructing, in an improvisational way, the sounds of jazz legend and fellow dreamer, Sun-Ra.

Our comrades on this show are:

King Britt- Electronics
Rucyl Mills- Vocals and sampling
