I Cant Stop!

19 05 2010

I know this site isnt about skateboarding but all of you are going to have to deal with my choice this week. Ty Evans is one of the best skateboard cinematographers on this continent and with working closley amongst Spike Jonze and influences stemming from Stacy Peralta one has to think how some of that creativity couldnt help but rub off on him. Ty sets the stage for generations to come and has stepped out bold with this stunning visual splendor of a Nestle commercial. Bob Burnquist drops in to a bowl of balloons and manages to get up on numerous chunky moves. So, if you dont like skateboarding please forgive me but this ad is one of the most creative shorts that I have seen in a while. Heat it up Ty!

On Saturday May 8th was a night of free music and drinks, thanks to social networking media!

Through Twitter, I found out about a FREE N.E.R.D. & ASHER ROTH show happening, the night of the at an undisclosed location.  My friends and I anxiously waited around for Tweets.  We finally got instructed to send an e-mail requesting information for the show, from then we would get an e-mail informing us of the venue that the show would take place.  Already we were drawn into this event, we felt like secret agents waiting for our super secret confidential instructions from the man.  Finally we recieved the location,  no it wasn’t Slim’s or Bottom of the Hill, in fact it wasn’t even a traditional Music Venue.

It was…

The European Collision Center off of 12th and Howard in San Francisco, CA

The event was promoted by Kin, a new phone made by Verizon dedicated to Social Networking!   Right when I got into the line to get in, I was immediately exposed to this new phone.  There were promoters moving through the line showing off this new innovative phone, and even taking pictures of everybody in line.   If you were there, all the pictures are posted on Kin’s Facebook.

There was hardly any downtime for people to even get a chance to get bored.  There was always a DJ playing if there wasn’t a performer on stage.  The first performer was Asher Roth.  Soon after was N.E.R.D.

Even after all the performers were done, the DJ continued to play, and everybody just danced the night away!  All in all it was an amazing night, I mean FREE DRINKS, FREE MUSIC, FREE SHOW, FREE SWAG, what else can you ask for?

Kin is definitely doing it right.   Make sure you add them on facebook or twitter,  there’ constantly having free secret shows!
