A Day In Amsterdam

I had a great adventure today. These were the only pair of sandals that I have that I can walk far fast in & they broke. I was trying to avoid buying shoes but apparently providence had another idea.

I got to talk to one of my favorite shop owners. His shop specializes in making you spend money on things you don't need. I almost walked out of there with a Dalmatian or lady bug back pack for my DJ gear but then realized I don't have the nerve to use it. Aren't these hilarious?

If you are ever in Amsterdam you have to check out this store.

Zenith Live at Friend's n Family Feather River Campout

Friends N Family FRC 2013

I had an amazing time slot (3:20 - 4:40 am Sunday) at an amazing campout this past weekend. Most of you probably know this but California is an outdoor lover's paradise. This campout was at a magical space. I apologize that I don't have the time at the moment to get the pics out of face borg over to here.

As soon as I get the wave version of my set I will post it though.

Terri Gross interviewing Ray Manzarek about Light My Fire

It's sad that Ray Manzarek just recently died of cancer. This morning I heard a great interview on NPR that I wanted to share with you.

It's not the whole interview but i bet you could find that, too. it's totally worthwhile:

This Saturday night, 25 May it's West City at Temple

I haven't played at Temple since 2008 (?). Anyway! I'm really looking forward to it! A big special thx to Ruby for inviting me to play in this stacked line-up

First few photos from Z Productions & FreeDub present Raíz - 17 May 2013

The rest of the photos I will post later this week but here's a few of me first... I know. It's very hammy of me. DOH!

This Friday @ F8 | 1192 Folsm Raíz is back in San Francisco

I'm so stoked about this! I am really looking forward to the rare chance to play a proper techno set Also, I don't know what you think of the final version of this flyer but I'm quite proud of it.

Thx to my friend Glitter Ricky for this Snap

This was taken @ the End Up 4 May 2013

yes that is me with eyeliner on! but wait! there's more...

if there was a sh*t-eating grin photo contest... well maybe we'd enter this one?

yes this is me wearing eyeliner! i know. positively shocking...

More in Flyer adventures... Next month's party

I got up at 4 AM to get this little number rocking before work. It took me about 4 hours... Mostly going through all of photoshop's fonts then going to the internet trying to find the perfect robot fonts. I hope I rode the line between good robot font & legibility.

So my partner wants a "Zenomena Productions & FreeDub presents in the first line but I think the text will end up looking ridiculous or small or something. I am still just a newb graphic designer after years of trial & error & still no formal training... Maybe i haven't been creative enough yet? He asked me to try.

I do ask everyone what they think of my flyers though :-) You get a surprising amount of info this way. a lot of my friends are graphic designers as it turns out. or at least went to art school for it. Anyway... the adventures continue

Today a special 3-hour set on 90.1 & streaming online http://kzsulive.stanford.edu

Labor of Love Flyer, V2 (part duh)

So here's version two. We got a photo in more wishy colors :-) I must confess I like the way we're going. Especially when one considers I have zero graphic design skills. For the curious, the artists will go on the back once this front is approved.

Labor of Love Flyer in the making

So I'll admit I have no graphic design talent what so ever and zero formal training but I've learned a few things over the years of working parties with little budget.

Yes yes the text needs to be re-aligned. We need to add a bleed zone.... but...

I kinda like this flyer. This came from a shooting of the new bay bridge lights show... I wasn't so happy with the pics & I need to go re-photograph it but I kinda like this one! I don't know why... It's missing a lot of text. There will be a flyer back where the text will likely move... But here it is so far


I guess the added coolness is that I've been playing this party for almost 4.5 years now so it adds an extra smile for me :-)
