GOOD SKY LARKIN NEWS!

So the music video is moving right along. We have locked location, an art director, and my shot list is coming together nicely. Tomorrow is a big meeting/dinner/drinking occasion with most of the keys to start to get things in gear. Thanks Jed and Christina! You guys rock!

I'm broken....

My tailor, after confusingly measuring and remeasuring the correct amount of sleeve to remove from one of my dinner coats, informed me that my left arm is just about 1 entire inch longer than its right counterpart. Terrible... just terrible. It explains so much. I now live in complete arm shame.

Amazing Video

Midnight Ridazz :: Downtown LA :: The Ride With No Name

I did my first Midnight Ridazz Ride last week!! What's Midnight Ridazz? Well... its sort of an underground bike club that sets up fun rides all over Los Angeles, usually in the late of late nights. For example, we did the "Ride with No Name," and rode from Downtown LA to somewhere in the City of Commerce and back again. 9pm to 3am somehow was occupied riding.

Anyway, if you are into biking, you gotta do it sometime. I will definitely go again!

My House?

G and Eneida are the best. I basically have two dates to wherever I go. Last weekend, I opted to join them on their romp to SUPER HOLLYWOOD CLUB, MY HOUSE. While clubs are definitely NOT my scene, I thought I'd give it the old college try and check it out.

Well, besides pushy bouncers, extremely unattractive naked women, and today's top 40, I'd say it was alright. I had some good company and got a couple dances in, oh and it was all completely free... nice.

Afterwards, we had some late night mexican food courtesy of EL GRAN BURRITO on Santa Monica and Vermont.

Anyway, check out the photos.

I swear my eyes are actually open.

The Search for Drums ... LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

As you may or may not know, I will be directing a music video next month for UK band, Sky Larkin for their debut album here in the U.S. The track is awesome and I, as well as Jed and Christina (my Executive Producers from my Music Video side, Maneater) have been hard at work putting the video together... from locations, to wardrobe, to budget, to absolutely everything... the past couple of weeks have been hectic and we have just about two weeks to be completely ready.

That said, we continue to search for the perfect location... we did have some good news today however. We got all the instruments! woo! Since the concept of the video requires we more or less trash the instruments, we had to purchase our own set for the music video. Below are some photos of our little hunt.

We found the perfect drum.
I'm in love.
Testing the products.
Not sure what they are looking at....

Photography Fun :: Weird Places

So currently, Jed, Christina, and myself have been location scouting for the music video I booked. It's a long and hard process, but it does have its perks. Other than finally finding our ideal place, the scout can bring you to weird and funny places you have never seen before.

We have been up and down southern California. Below is just a sample of the coolness... oh and I candid I took of Christina. Thanks guys!
