Favorite Meal :
San Antonion Bean Burger (with refried beans, tortilla chips, melted cheese, tartar sauce, salsa, beef patty and buns! YUM!)
Favorite venues:
1. Malverde - this place was amazing. Had absolutely incredible sound, and was half indoor/half outdoor in the coolest way that is impossible to describe without seeing. :)
2. Baby Blue Studio - Picture Brooklyn’s Silent Barn, transplanted in Austin, with a half acre yard, a tv/visual installation behind the stage with over 30 tvs, a bonfire, and a BBQ truck to boot! This place brought us back to our DIY roots and we loved every second of it.
A few of my favorite things :
1. The slew of surprise guests at the super secret Jelly NYC, iheartcomix, Mad Decent after parties including: Rosie Rockwell, Ninjasonik, Skerrit Boy, Major Lazer, Diplo, DJ Jubilee (the New Orleans Bounce dj, not NYC’s finest, (Jess) Jubilee), etc the list goes onnnnnnn…..
2. Fader Fort - WELL DONE! It was amazing. Loved the Korg room & Bloggers tent & EVR Radio on site. So rad.
4. Photoboooooths!
RAVE ON!
