Hey Lyrik, I just saw ThaWildchild here in Toledo about a month ago. He tore the place apart and super high energy and he threw in other stuff than DnB and Jungle, so it was great.
Everyone go to this, it is a good change of pace for Miami.

dude....CBing is a fucking scummy ass thing to do, why are you proud of it?
I never said i was proud of it, but when I am just freindly and if a girl pays more attention to me, I am Sorry. It was all in good fun when I CB'ed on purpose.
too bad I don't live in FL anymore I would go to SPace just to CB you for sure.

You really have to have your own sense of style to shop at thrift stores but I like Goodwill and Salvation Army. I also like Burdines and Guess Clothing thier shirts are tailored to fit me, thin and tall. Diesel shoes all the way.

Before the term "CockBlock" was invented I was the king. My college friends would not bring their girls around me because I was notorious for the CB. I was later given the nickname "CB" for obvious reasons. I never did this intentionally but it always seemed that I was capable of pulling off a CB in the most unlikely circumstances.
I have two stories. The first one was in my first semester of college and I was just out to get as much ass as possible. I saw this hot girl dancing at a party, so I started dancing with her, and hanging out with her for an hour or so. I later see her talking to one of my fraternity brothers, who I knew had a girlfriend but never met her since she went to another college. I later saw her alone and starting dancing with her again, and one thing led to another and we were making out on the dance floor. Of course, another friend of mine comes up to me and asks me why I am making out with my other friend’s girlfriend. They later broke up, due to me.
This story is a classic: It was a 4 man Quadra-Block. It was at a Mardi Gras party at my college and I was DJ’ing it and we hand tons of decorations hung up. By this time I was notorious for the CB and the word was out, and people were always trying to get back at me. There was 4 of us guys who all hung out together and we always tried to CB each other. Two of my friends pulled CB’s on each other earlier in the party so the score was even between them. The girl I was dating was out of town for the weekend at a soccer tournament so I so I invited another girl to his party and she was hanging out with me in the DJ booth. The girl I was dating got back in town earlier than expected and tried to reach me but since I was DJ’ing I didn’t hear my cell phone, so she called my other friend to check and see if the party was still going strong and he told her to come to the party. Needless to say, she was not happy that some other girl was hanging on me when she got there, my friend conveniently forget to tell me she coming or she called him. Asshole. So I had two girls pissed at me and I was left DJ’ing by myself. So I had a score to settle. I saw my friend t trying to hook up with this girl and the dance floor was packed going crazy. He was just about to start making out with her on the dance floor when I look out and see they are directly under some of the decorations I hung up. So I crank up the music get the crowd going crazy, and let all of the decorations I hung up like balloons and stuff fall from the blanket that was holding them back and I pull a string and dump the bucket of confetti directly on them as they were about to kiss. The Kiss never happened since they were picking confetti from their hair and clothes for the next hour. Everyone else loved the decorations. That was 4 CB’s at one party.

I'm lazy, they'll be up soon.
In other words, he did not get paid for the event, so the pictures are still on his camera or on his harddrive.
He is busy getting his ego ready for his show tonight at nerve and doing hand exercises for all the autograpghs.
j/k man good luck tonight -

I think the article is very well written with good insight
Detroit will be center of electronic music universe
Movement 2004 expected to draw over 1 million
By RHONDA B. SEWELL
BLADE STAFF WRITER
DETROIT - It's an annual Memorial Day weekend event that calls for electronic music fans and artists to converge on the epicenter of techno music.
For the fifth year, what is now titled Movement 2004, Detroit's Electronic Music Festival, will pack downtown's Hart Plaza May 29-31 with techno heads, aspiring DJs, funk followers, and loyal electronic music fans for what is billed as the world's largest free electronic music festival. Organizers are even attempting this year to make the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest free electronic music festival ever. Guinness counters will be on hand to tally the size of the crowd; it has been at more than 1 million since its inception in 2000. Fest organizers must also supply aerial shots of the crowd to assist in counting for the record book.
Movement will kick off at noon on Saturday, May 29, and run until midnight, with the same hours on Sunday, May 30, and on Monday, Memorial Day.
Next weekend's lineup of over 70 Detroit, national, and European acts includes Francois K, Amp Fiddler, Ellen Allien, Kevin Saunderson, Marques Wyatt, Rolando, Reel People, Rockid, Ron Trent, Traxx, and Tortured Soul to name a few. Detroit's own Rolando will close out Movement 2004 with a finale performance on the evening of Memorial Day.
Last year's heavy emphasis on Detroit as the birthplace of techno and longtime supporter of electronica will continue this year as organizers promote local talent and national acts, Derrick Ortencio, festival director, told The Blade.
Detroit's long-standing electronic music reputation played heavily into the organizing of last year's Movement fest, which combined techno pioneers as consultants and organizers of the event, along with a pioneering historical exhibition of electronic music featured at the Detroit Historical Museum.
That same spirit will be enhanced at next weekend's festival, said Ortencio, with new features such as a designated area of Hart Plaza called Techno Boulevard for the exclusive use of independent music vendors.
The walkway "Boulevard" parallel to Jefferson Avenue will allow independent talent to showcase their work, and representatives of local, national, and international labels to meet and talk with each other.
"Movement, it's a labor of love. Based on the success last year, we've created a buzz around the world, and the creation of Techno Boulevard points to the hard economic times in music right now. Everyone is really struggling and this will serve as a thank you and encouragement for labels to continue to put out good music - it's a showcase and a platform for this," said Ortencio.
One unchanged feature from last year's fest is the naming of the event's four stages, which will again be the Music Institute Stage, named for the Detroit club that help launch the Detroit electronic and techno sound with artists such as Derrick May, Juan Atkins, and Richie Hawtin; the Movement Stage, featuring Detroit talent and international guest artists; the High Tech Soul Stage, with hip-hop, jazz, neosoul, house, and techno sounds, and the Underground Stage, with Detroit and Dutch experimental electronic music and minimal sounds of techno, hosted by the European Movement partner, The Generator.
Acts on all four stages will play simultaneously with very brief intermissions to change equipment and instruments for new acts.
Despite some bumps along the way in the festival's early years, Ortencio said he believes Movement's success will be long-lasting, based on the intrinsic values of electronica and the loyalty of the genre's following.
"I got into this music because the community vibe of electronic music is so positive. It drew me to it and I realized that the industry was based on a faceless, non glamorous component," he said.
"When I first started buying the music it didn't matter what the person looked like when I dropped the needle. It was just real in all its raw musical purity."

I know how to get a job on my own but when it comes to certain jobs it can be all about who you know.
In this business you have to create your own work and learn how to promote yourself. It is about creating a persona/ character with skills essential to the business.
I knew litterally zero people when I started going out, and after a few months I knew just about every nightlife personality and allot of owners and if you are good at what you do, work will come to you.

wow, I haven't seen other pictures of the prison, but that chair looks Photoshopped in. It looks really fake. As far as the other stuff, it all seems like a big stretch to me. I will do more reseach but, it is highly doubtful.
you think there are no fat errorists and don't have access to clean shoes?

23 musicians literally 'phone it in'
On May 16, 22 different musicians will perform from 22 different locations in a five-hour broadband "virtual orchestra", with the cumulative performance sent live via DSL to Vienna's Ronacher theater. There the performance will be mixed by Austrian composer Rupert Huber, then Webcast via the private-exile website. While the performance will be one of the first such project's attempted in real-time, the 22 musicians will rotate in shifts. The QOS and reliability demands of such an effort have long prevented similar projects from occurring.
The 23-musician ensemble gets to literally phone it in on Sunday, as Telekom Austria AG (NYSE: TKA - message board; Vienna: TKA) and Alcatel SA (NYSE: ALA - message board; Paris: CGEP:PA) present a five-hour "virtual orchestra" performance to show off the potential of broadband.
The musicians will play in separate apartments around Vienna from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on May 16, with the sounds sent live via DSL to Vienna's Ronacher theater. There, Austrian composer Rupert Huber (no known relation to David) will mix the individual instruments to create the performance. Results will be Webcast at www.private-exile.net.
A symphony might seem less of a pressure situation than virtual surgery (see the Light Reading interview with Pradeep Sindhu, Juniper Networks ), but it does require a precision in timing that's hardly guaranteed in VOIP or videoconferencing. And, of course, the connections have to stay up, lest the performance become a rip-off of John Cage's 4' 33".
That's why previous virtual-symphony projects haven't been real-time, says Paul Lehrman, a music lecturer at Tufts University. "People do one instrument at a time and mix it," he says.
The project's Website claims "Private Exile" will be in real time, but the musicians won't all perform at once. They are scheduled in overlapping shifts, creating a series of fluctuating ensembles during the five hours. The program doesn't indicate whether Huber's mixing will be strictly real-time, or whether snippets of, say, the 3:00 hour will be inserted into later segments of the performance. (Neither Alcatel nor Telekom Austria could be reached by press time.)
Classical composers have long sought ways to meld music and technology. In 1924, the player piano inspired George Antheil to write Ballet Mecanique, a piece for 16 automated pianos plus xylophones, airplane propellers, and an air siren, among other instruments.
Because the pianos had to be synched up, "Ballet Mecanique" proved unplayable in its original form until just a few years ago, when Lehrman, a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) expert, dusted it off for a 1999 world premiere. The result combined live musicians and a live conductor with computer-triggered instruments.
If computers are fair game for the symphony hall, broadband might not be far behind. But even with perfect connections and infallible quality of service (QOS), it would be tough for a virtual symphony to play traditional pieces, Lehrman says. "Einstein was not wrong. You can't exceed the speed of light," he says. "If [the delay] is more than a few milliseconds, that's more than musicians can deal with."
Even if the delay is eliminated somehow, the musicians would be handicapped. "They need to be able to interact with each other, not just with the conductor, or the music comes out very sterile and disjointed," he says.
It's certainly possible for composers to create works intended for broadband performance, but that's a bit "anti-social" for Lehrman's taste. "There are enough problems with kids sitting in their basements with laptops, churning out music without collaborating with anyone else. That's weird enough."

I have seen it before, but thought that it was a massive escape vessel from Cuba or Haiti.
It looks kinda cheesy and the pictures look like they hired a bunch of strippers for promotions.
A good charter company that I went on a few times was Sea Breeze out of Boca. The Catamamaran they have is NIIIIICCCCCEEEEEE

By far the killing of an American psses me off more, since he was a civilian.
I never understand how a war can have rules.
I say pull the US/ Allied troops out and let the locals settle it and keep on fighting like they have for the last 2000 years. If that doesn't work, send in the B52 bombers and start from a clean slate. We can then run our own oil pipeline and get what we need.

....how small a show it was.
This was for a show I attended Friday night at the University of Toledo.
The show was with a local production company and stsudents performing at the perfomance arts division of the university. Along with all the hardware in the pictures, they also had 4 TechnoBeams, 2 TrackSpots, 1 Laser, 1 Hazer, 2 Projectors, and 2 screens.
The performance consisted of 3 30 minute sets. The first set had a DJ, guitarist, Synths/ Keyboards, and another guy on effects..
2nd set had: a Female Vocalist, a DJ, Synths/ Keyboards, and another guy on effects.
3rd Set: a DJ with 2 MC's
It was a pretty impressive setup for how small of a show it was. It was a very local show with about 100 people in attendance. It was fun, but couldn't stay till the end since they were running late and I had another shoot planned later.
They performaned a very wide range of genres and new and old from breaks, house, techno, old skool house, and a mashup of some rock songs with tons of synths and electro thrown in.
j/k man good luck tonight
Bored of your job?
in Miami
Posted
I have been bored out of my mind at my two previous jobs, so I made a change for the better. I first worked for a company where I was just another programmer in the mix, and then I got a job where you can get rich, but just working for money sux, like Funk says.
Use some of the lessons you have learned in your classes. Market yourself to a company or apply your entrepreneurship and start a small business.
