The last few weeks have been a blur – went to the NAMM show and met too many industry and musicians to even list. Was super surreal being at a trade show but instead of high tech – it was all music, artists, and lots of long hair and rock and roll dudes. I was in heaven. Okay one name, DJ Johnny “Juice” who produces Public Enemy – he was sooo cool and inspiring, I had a great time with him and his crew. Then a concert cruise (www.shipsanddip.com) on the Carnival Victory and 14 meetings/events planned and done in 5 days including peeps from Burning Man performing at a conference event – www.bohemiancarnival.net.
Ships and dip was a blast, Barenaked Ladies were the headliner, and they were great, however we actually went because we love Carbonleaf – we saw them three times and participated in the “let’s get the guys drunk” party after their 3rd show. If you haven’t heard them before check out their Indian Summer, 5 Alive or Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat albums they are awesome and really sweet bunch of dudes. www.carbonleaf.com. We did a port day in Jamaica and Grand Cayman – we loved Jamaica (Marshall our tour guide) took us for a great day – jerk chicken lunch, the Fern Grove, waterfalls and shopping while drinking some Red Stripe. It was awesome. We met some cool people too but the food on the ship was awful. We had the most amazing meal in South Beach though which made up for it – Table 8 http://www.table8la.com/sb.html is fantastic and the chef James is from a town I lived in when I was a kid (Zionsville, In) and they really treated us with a mid-meal tuna tartar that was dreamy. Thanks to Darlene we ordered the not on the menu Porterhouse, spectacular!!!
The performance by Bohemian Carnival and Gooferman was great as the Dev Con party too – I think the attendees won’t soon forget the spectacle – I kept hearing “edgy Cirque de Soleil”, “that was the coolest performance I’ve ever seen”, ”where did you get those guys?” Burning Man meets the man….. ha ha.
