just went to nobu in LA and had one of the best meals I've ever had. AMAZING!!

shepherd

everything OR everyone?

food is definitely larger than most things!

pondering in-n-out burger tonight

shepherd

didn't get an upgrade but premium economy on V delivers bigtime. Very comfortable.

Now sitting in room at Roosevelt watching in amazement at what is considered food over here! Some crazy burger ads!

shepherd

thanks mate ... i just remembered i owe you a PM!!

BU getting married in 5 weeks

shepherd

leaving for the US tomorrow. Hoping for an upgrade!

WSS is inside - Future have run events in that Melb Park space for over a decade and I'd say they have it nailed. My housemate in Sydney toured with FMF and he said all events were smooth. Melb could have been handled differently but there are also extreme circumstances surrounding the event that ma...

shepherd

also.. they cancelled the music/event because of the storm - which never came - why could you cancel it before it happened, if there was a chance it wasn't going to arrive? cancelling everything due to light rain is poor form.. now i wasn't there so take what you will of this ... but the weather wa...

Twenty three year old Guy Hatfield is being heralded as a breakbeat leader of the pack after his work on the Y3K album and with his own club promotion company ‘Waxworks

I don't think Guy has been 23 for about 11 years ...

I do find it funny that no-one seems to dance in LA heh i found that too. when nick and i went in 2008 we ended up at cobrasnake's night in Hollywood as the people we were with had some LA douchebag connections (this night had a password to get in lol) ... very hipster doofus but everyone just sat ...

shepherd

must have missed the memo then

shepherd

everything is easy in hindsight amick

shepherd

moving to sydney tomorrow.

not sure it's BU or whatever the opposite is. Picturing it as a big up right now.

Looking forward to new job - very exciting etc - but the thought of 4 months of commuting until wifey moves up is a bit wah

shepherd

nice cause but it caused me to be 10 mins late for basketball

shepherd

Yeah LA is kind of shit and ghetto but it's like LA music - overstated, badly dressed, loud, obnoxious, artless etc ... but you still listen to it sometimes.

I thought LA was kind of average 2 years ago but here I am ... about to return

shepherd

So am in LA for 2 days pre SXSW in a few weeks. Staying at the Roosevelt which is pretty much bang in Hollywood.

Need advice if anyone has any on places to shop - ideally shoes/clothes etc ... that aren't the obvious ones (Robinson, Beverly Centre, Grove, Supreme etc)

Anyone anyone?

Going to San Francisco, Miami and New York. Any tips on places to stay/visit over there?

W Hotel or Huntington Hotel in San Fran are good.

It is undoubtedly the way modern civilization is moving, Its the Government we need to hate on and the attitude of the corporate monsters privatizing everything causing 3rd world hunger you should divert your opinions too

Do people claim gig losses against tax? if set up as a business there's no reason why not. you can only pay tax on EBITDA so if there's nothing there there can be no tax. If it's a hobby I'm not so sure ... generally most hobbyist agents do things under the table so who knows if you can claim a lar...

thanks retzie and hatsudai - great advice.

hatsudai - going for both interactive and music. there for 3 days of int, full music schedule.

really enjoy running - was doing 10k 3-4x a week but pulled right back towards end of last year. find i do it in spurts ... 3 or 4 months then i go back to gym ... get bored of that then move back to cardio. swimming is also great but a pain in the ass in summer as the pools get crowded. much better...

lot's of fun - thanks lounge!

shepherd

another travel q - anyone been to ko tao? got accomm recommendations? want something pretty nice so if anyone has been please fill me in!

see you tomorrow anyway!!

shepherd

anyone got any accomm recommendations for paris? up to $300AUD a night.

shepherd

pappa at lounge - might be the first time anyone has dared play prog in the place heh

with the who sits next to who stuff we're going to leave it up to the guests ... they can scrap it out!

maybe should have done a standup cocktail style - no seating hassles!

One mate who got married describe his wedding seating chart as like that crossing the river with grain, fox and duck logic puzzle. it is sort of like that - we were dreading it but somehow there was a really easy, logical arrangement. so it's now final - no changes! or it will become like the fox/c...

think i just knocked over the wedding seating chart - apparently it sometimes takes forever!!! took about 30 mins.

what we have AGAIN is a music model for users but not for musicians. i do like the potential of spotify for all involved ... plus last fm etc but this is a really good point. somehow some people have begun to think that pandering to the consumer is now what effective marketing strategy is. so you g...

almax should have clarified - i meant more big big acts, ie 3-10m in sales - i wouldn't call FFD a big act in that regard but yeah i am sure they are doing well with live shows/records etc but maybe thats just the model that is required now, use the recorded stuff as a promo and tour your ass off, ...
