Genesis NYE Dec 31 2008 Panteges Playhouse Theatre

Here is a pic of me spinning at Genesis on the main stage. It was a blast. I love playing records for people, seeing them smile and groove is such a fantastic feeling. I really want to get into producing so I can make a career out of making people dance, it's a dream and a goal I want to bring to fruition very much. I believe dancing is good for your soul, your mind and your body. I had such a good time at the party, dancing, blabbing to strangers and just generally feeling good and positive. I really enjoyed the sets from Disco Kitty, Deko-ze, Marco G, Smooths and of course Frankie Bones. I think he had a good time playing for the Winnipeg crowd, they were havin' it, that's for sure. I'm sure Crown pulled some decent numbers for the turn out even though the night was snowy and cold, it was warm and inviting in the party. Everyone seemed to be out in true New Years spirit.

I've been trying to focus on the positive in life a lot more recently and having Crown choose me to play made me so much more positive. I've been really relaxed and easy going lately. Trying very hard not to get emotionally worked up about things. It's helping me feel a better inner sense of joy than that is derived from what is on the surface of immediate emotions and thoughts. I've been reading the book the Power of Now - Eckart Tolle and it is really opening my eyes, even more so than his other book A New Earth, both are fantastic and I think everyone who is looking deeper should read them. Even if you don't follow his ideology you will take something away from it be it common sense about human interactions or many of the other insightful observations and instruction he provides. I will be picking up his third book when I finish this one.

I've been having wonderful thoughts about where I want to be taking the direction of my life, making music, touring, making people dance. Creating more art. I also get to go to a wonderful party in July on Victoria Island BC here in Canada called Soundwave, I urge everyone to go, as I've heard it's a fantastic 3 day outdoor electronica/dance event, that is unmatched in vibe and caliber of artists. I am extremely happy to have the chance to see that part of the country as well as it is some of the most beautiful in the country. Here is a link for the festival, it should be updated for this year's event soon: http://soundwavemusicfestival.ca/

I'm so stoked to go, its a gift from my mom to send me there for my 30th Birthday, I think she is effected by the fact that her oldest child is 30 this year. She is super proud of what I have done with my DJing, she is very supportive and I love her for that.

Hope you all had wonderful New Years and fantastic holidays! Here's to living in the moment and making the very best of it.
