This is a major event for the guys at Get Cryphy. I really want to go but now I’m not sure I’ll be able to. Either way, congrats to the Get Cryphy crew. Last week, they tore down Red Rock in CO with Atmosphere and Common, this month they will be here;

Remembering the Eurowerks Car Show – Rusty Style

whoisfelix — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 17:09:28 +0000

It would be easy to go back and pull the photos of the Porsche or the slammed BMW or any of the cookie cutter Audi’s. The car that I think grabbed me the most was this VW. It’s low, rusty, and just ooozing character don’t you think?

I will definitely be returning to this car show next year (and hopefully the weather will be more co-operative) with plans to take many, many more photos.

Dre Day/BRLSQ love!

Room to help you move, but I’d imagine this truck wouldn’t do so well with a heavy load.

First snow of the year.

Well, it’s a Saturday morning and I woke up to see what was happening out the window. Immediately, I picked up my camera, scraped off my car and headed for the nearest park. In this case, I found myself at Boom Island. The first snow of the year is slushy stuff. That means it’s sticky stuff. That means it’s clinging to trees and being pretty…

Enjoy MN;

So, it’s raining and I assumed this would be cancelled but Eboun and I wandered over anyway. Every year in Northeast Minneapolis they host this car show at the old brewery. I’m sure the rain scared away the Ferarris that were there last year, but there were still a few gems. Enjoy the VW’s, BMW’s, Porsche’s, etc. of the midwest.

Word.

I rode my bike to work today. First time this year.

So, today, for the first time this year, I rode my bike to work. It feels good to be this awake at my desk so early in the morning. If only it were so easy to leave the house on a bike at 5:30am. I got to work and did the www.mapmyride.com thing to see what sort of workout it is, and if you are to believe the website, I burned 918 calories before even getting to my desk this morning. Not so shabby.

Shaw’s on a Monday Night.

whoisfelix — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 05:04:03 +0000

I met my friend Asha at Shaws (which is one block from my house… why haven’t I been there yet?). About 80% of the people in the room had come to play. The place was packed. Just a steady stream of decent to great musicians waiting to play blues or R&B music. Not a bad way to spend a Monday night.

This serves as my first attempt at night shots with my new camera and also my first club shots. Both are a lot harder than I thought. I can’t wait to do more.

Then I walked the whole way down he block…. home.

Dessa tells the truth about collaborating with Heiruspecs

whoisfelix — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:13:08 +0000

Dessa and Heiruspecs have been working together for over 3 years and this Friday marks a special night in their history of collaboration. Dessa’s new quartet featuring Josh and Twinkie of Heiruspecs will be playing alongside Dessa at the release show for new record, "A Badly Broken Code". Her band will be reinterpreting Dessa tunes from her entire career and the show is going to be wonderful. After being offered a tremendous amount of hummus, red wine and Kool G. Rap CDs Dessa shared these kind words about playing with Heiruspecs.

"Some of the best moments in my musical career have been made possible by the instrumentalists of Heiruspecs. I’ve long considered myself lucky to have found such talented, sharp, funny and kind players who are willing to join me on stage. In rehearsals, it’s all I can do to stay focused on the task at hand–I’m so often distracted by the beauty of the music they play that I’ll forget to sing. Every performance with players of Heiruspecs constitutes a great privilege." – Dessa
