Back once again is the incredible, rhyme animal, THE Public Enemy #1...WOW did PE kill it at Rock the Bells or what? Hopefully some of you made it out to Randalls Island this past weekend to witness some of hip hops finest in action including Public Enemy (with our freind Scott Ian as a guest on Bring The Noise), Cypress Hill, Rakim, Mos Def, and loads more. But of course it was the mighty Rage Against the Machine who headlined the whole weekend long shebang who really tore the roof off the place.
WAIT!
Can you say tear the roof off when its an outdoor festival? well I just did so...
We were lucky enough to be able to work with Heineken who sponsored the festival and tour to create an amazing experience including a packed tent complete with AC, a custom bar, and of course some stellar talent. Who played our tent? a pack of amazing DJs like ODY ROC & JS1 (rocksteady crew), the 4 man Beat Box Entertainment crew, and special guests SCOTT IAN (ANTHRAX), SEN DOG (CYPRESS HILL), and DJ MUGGS (CYPRESS HILL) straight from the main stage. yeh. sick. sick...
SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY GRAND OPENING
Heres a weird one...I worked on a deal with Pepsi and Justin Timberlakes new BBQ restaurant which led to the grand opening in NYC. Im not one for the red carpet nor the paparazzi scum that line it, but due to the size of the venue and being a part of the insanity, I wound up in a lot of the pictures and madness. This is kind of funny pic of me with my "boys" JT & Jay Z. Its like Zelig or something...anyone actually get that reference?
Lori made it out to this one as well, and we wound up staying out waay too late with our freind Justin Kern. Man can he drink! I was so blasted that I forgot my bag (w laptop in it) at a bar way up on the UES , but Justin (not timberlake) was cool enough to go get it, bring down to the West Vill to me. What a guy! He got a sandwich from the deli for his valiant efforts...
and then theres the earth...
LIVE EARTH www.liveearth.org
OK....what else? Oh yeah, LIVE EARTH! man, was that a trip....My old buddy John Trepp and I reunited lke peaches and herb promote recycling on behalf of Pepsi at the US leg of the Live Earth concerts which took place around the world to raise awareness much like Live Aid & Live 8 before it. This time around they had The Police, Roger Waters, Dave Matthews, and hundreds more to make it fly.
Pepsi actually did some pretty cool promotions to get the recycling message out. From making tent tops and handbags out of used Pepsi Billboards to custom artist painted recyling bins and more.
What a looong day for my feet....
Aside from that I havent had much else going on in my life lately. its been a work a thon, but I will be back soon enough with more stories and pictures from my life.
