The Red Bull soapbox race was a phenomenal event this past weekend in San Francisco.  It drew 100k people to the Dolores Park area.  Red Bull did a great job with the announcers and they park wide TV screens and speakers to keep everyone engaged.  One of the most memorable cars was the The Death Star.

Anyone who was there will remember their immaculate pre-race video and legendary race, but little did most know that this Death Star came with a Palin bumper sticker:

And I thought I was cool for having …

Axel Ardes is a French journalist for Radio France station Le Mouv and for the Bondi Blog who is currently on an assignment covering the U.S. Presidential Election.

When asked what its like to meet McCain supporters he replied that he is having a hard time finding them.  I …

A friend was able to capture this magical looking moonset over the Golden Gate Bridge at 6:30 am this morning.  Amazing:

Thanks to my “homie” Kieran, a local recognized mixologist in San Francisco, I was invited to attend this years Whisky Fest at the Marriot.
As the escalator lowered me down to two levels underneath the Marriot  where the fest was hosted, I was welcomed by the calm waft of fine malt whiskey and scotch scents – appropriate.  I received my tasting glass and my smile multiplied when I entered the largest whisky congregation in the entire planet, at that very moment at least.  After taking my first shot, the server prompted …

Much respect to Jelly Donut’s lastest reprise antics as the gansta rappin dude dressed in a giant jelly donut costume.  He is hilarious.  If you are not familiar with Jelly Donut’s work, first check out this humorous video on Jelly Donut for Current TV here.  This will set the stage for the following clip better. Or maybe you think a rapping donut is funny as is.  His latest video called “McCain Be Old” deserves your attention now.

The fact that my last 4 posts have been about partying and music is a testament that I have been enjoying myself a lot lately:)  Much respect to San Francisco for embracing this ridiculous event.  The quality of music at the Lovefest was excellent, crews really stepped up their game and came through with great floats.  Much respect to Kontrol, Listed, and Stompy for having great music at their floats.  Enjoy the slide show:

The night ended for me at Club Oasis in Oakland.  We were enjoying Dj Harvey as he …

The last and only time I hung out at Club Oasis, I experienced my first full Dj Harvey disco odyssey and I have not been the same since.  Read about it here.  Lucky for us, the disco shaman himself, Dj Harvey, is back in the Bay to flex his groove muscles for ya at the lovely, intimate, and non-pretentious Club Oasis.  The great thing about this club is the retractable roof. Yes ladies and gentlemen, an open rooftop.  This is technically an outdoor party!

I expect mostly hardcore disco lovers in …

It was an incredible night and I would like to thank everyone who made it.  The VHS crew and myself put together a ‘vibe’ as we were told.  A lot of the success had to do with our Venue which had the perfect ambiance to create the perfect atmosphere for getting down.  We had a happy dancing crowd formed before midnight.  Enjoy this slide-show of the event.

All the djs had great sets. Kicked off my Chad Neiro, then Leonard, Jeno, Paul T, and capped off by Jesse.  We had …
