A Nightmare After Xmas....

So my friends at RSR Productions decided to have a little party the day after Christmas to end the year. They have been throwing some of the largest "parties" in the Valley this past year and from what they tell me its only going to keep getting bigger. I'm just a little sad I won't be around for their first party of the year in February. If you haven't already, be sure to check out their myspace for more information about upcoming events:

An After Party with LMFAO

So after the show, everyone went to Volta downtown and got ready to party hard! I haven't seen so many of my friends just go crazy since Spring Break. It was a great night and everyone was awesome. I had a great time meeting a lot of you all and look forward to seeing everyone in LA soon! As you'll see in the fully gallery, I used two cameras to remember the night....one of them was a Christmas present to myself and the other is of course the camera I'm always seem running around with.

The Party Rock Tour....

One of my favorite music groups to see live is LMFAO, so when I found out they were coming down I knew it was going to be a party. Its true, when people ask me what an LMFAO show is like, I always tell them that its not a concert but one big crazy party. This tour they brought down Space Cowboy who did a killer job, Paradiso Girls who were incredibly entertaining and Far East Movement who really got the crowd pumped before LMFAO went on as headliners.

Monikapolitan's Candyland Birthday

WOW, what can I say about last night! It was such a fun and intense party at Volta in McAllen. My very good friend Monica, owner of Monikapolitan, always has a small dinner with close friends for her birthday. This year she went a different route, going over the top for her 23rd birthday party. The theme was "Candyland" and had a flair of LA to it with DJ Skeet Skeet and Rony's Photobooth to party with us. I want to personally thank Monica for all the work she put into this party and for inviting me and letting me take pictures....it was definitely the best party of 2009.

trivia: Monica was the creator of "Aberazzi".

DGE Turns 4

So my good friends Zar and Geo started DontGetEmo Concerts 4 years ago. I actually remember their first show, it was Terminal at the VFW. I guess you could say they've come a long way from having small 100 to 200 kid shows at the VFW to now having some of the biggest concerts the Rio Grande Valley has ever seen. Their 4th birthday was celebrated with having Forever The Sickest Kids, The Rocket Summer, Sing It Loud, Breathe Carolina, My Favorite Highway, Cash Cash, Stephen Jerzak, Artist vs Poet and Fight Fair....

sorry it took so long but I had actually posted them but just hadn't put a blog up.

Disposable Nights

So one of my all time favorite DJs came into town. Interesting as it is, I was not allowed to take my camera in to shoot the event. I was notified that there would be no SLR cameras allowed, but funny thing was there were about 8 people there with them. I guess they didn't get the same memo I did or something. Regardless I don't ever let anyone keep me from documenting the events in my life, so I went old school and took out a slightly modified "disposable camera". I had so much fun just snapping pictures around that I think I might have to start doing it more often, maybe start using my old film camera or something...but I might need to get a better film scanner.

here are the shots, nothing special but I like them.

Early Morning Drive

The other night I shot for ReadySetRave at their party at Jagz. It was a lot of fun and the music was great as always. My usual routine after shooting a party is to find some people to go out and eat with and wind down, then go home for a good sleep. Well the same happened except that this time while driving home at 8am I saw this on the side of the road and had to stop and take a few pictures....

Vegas in McAllen?!

So our friend Katie Vegas and Vik both had their birthdays this week and we all decided a themed party would be a great idea to celebrate. The DGE House was nice enough to host their invite only Vegas themed party....for all those that were there, I'm sure everyone could say it was a good time.

Minus the Bear with The Antlers

Last nights show could be described as being "beautiful" or "amazing". I was so impressed with everyone that decided to come out and show these bands some love. It was nice getting to see a lot of old faces that I hadn't seen in some time....
