Strange road signs like the one above are the kind I have an unexplainable affinity for. Some of them make me smile and wonder how/why they were designed that way. The day I took the sign, we had our blog launch meeting and I finally met all of our other contributors. We are a VERY eclectic mix I must say, so we'll be covering a lot of ground. I like how everything is going right now, but there is/will be a lot of work to do and it can't be more exciting.
In light of the EDC tragedy where a 15 year old died from being a complete idiot being irresponsible with drugs, HARD was filled with cops, inside and outside of the venue. There were even drug-sniffing dogs roaming the area. Despite all that, HARD Summer was a blast. The two stage setup was perfect, making it easy to switch between the stages to get a maximal taste of music.I got to catch The Gaslamp Killer, Sinden, Breakbot, The Twelves, Switch, Benga, Skream, Erol Alkan, Flying Lotus and CC and all were very enjoyable. I got tired of The Twelves and Benga/Skream's set because there's only so much dubstep I can take.
I wish I had stayed to listen to Soulwax drop their collab with Crookers + Mixhell mix "We Love Animals," but festivals are long and I expended all my energy earlier in the day. It's difficult to stay until the end of shows now, unlike how exciting it used to be nine years ago.
Maybe if I took things this slow the whole day, my energy would have been saved in reserve:
Tonight at Echo Curio, Stef will be playing as part of howardAmb, with Devin Sarno + Bobb Bruno, and Kandyce and the Killdozer. I will be taking pictures to add to my live band photography collection. Hopefully the cool lighting is still installed in the space. It would make for great footage and photos.
