New York - San Diego - New York: Red Bull Air Race

New York - Las Vegas - New York: Cher @ Caesar's Palace with Mom for Cher's 63rd Birthday. Don't laugh- this show was amazing!

New York Pit Stop: I was home for less than 24 hours and decided to spend the bulk of it at the Blk Mkt Membership & Uddermaddess 3 Year Anniversary Party in a massive Brooklyn warehouse. And yes, I went straight from the party to the airport at 10am Saturday morning in a white limo with Crazy Larry, Taimur and the boys from Soulclap. Yes, that's how we roll!



New York - Detroit: Detroit Electronic Music Festival for the 4th year in a row. Luciano, Loco Dice, Adam Beyer, Marco Carola, Guy Gerber, Carl Cox, Francois K, Steve Bug, Wighnomy Bros, Tiefschwarz. The "I'm on a Boat" party on the Detroit Princess, The Old Miami and the Betty Kang's Angels reality TV show (in the making). Enough said.



Detroit - Los Angeles (via Las Vegas): Three days in a conference room. Yeah, not so much.

Los Angeles - Montreal (via Chicago): Amazing art, music, food and fun at Mutek and Piknic Electronik all weekend long. Not even the rain could put a damper on our fun as we rocked right through multiple showers at Piknic and lasted to Ricardo Villalobos' very last track. Oh and the Montreal party house legend lives on...



Montreal - Rochester - Buffalo - New York: Work, work, work... but I did get to go snow tubing (in June!?) at Snow Park Niagara ha!

Red Bull Air Race World Champsionship - San Diego (5/10/09)

Last weekend I hopped a 747 to San Diego to catch the second race in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship
I had heard and seen quite a bit about the event since joining the company but had to experience it firsthand. The objective is to navigate an aerial race track featuring air-filled pylons in the fastest possible time incurring as few penalties as possible. Pilots can win World Championship points at each race and the one with the most points after the last race of the season becomes the Red Bull Air Race World Champion. The race is pretty amazing on TV but even better up close and personal while sitting in sunny San Diego harbor!

On his final flight of the weekend, French flight instructor, Nicholas Ivanoff, flew his fastest (1:17.21) and won the race. He defeated Paul Bonhomme of the United Kingdom by 1.11 seconds. Hannes Arch of Australia was third.

Next up is Windsor, Ontario... then the series is off to Budapest, Porto and Barcelona!
