Last Thursday night I was lucky enough to score an invite to the Shwood X Busmills X Bodega party at Fourthwall Gallery in Boston. The rather odd trio had teamed up to create some pretty radical sunglasses from old Bushmills barrels. The party they put together was also pretty amazing including a super good DJ, party visuals by Oliver Mak, a hand painted Bushmills logo by Mr. Never and lets not forget all the free whiskey you could drink! Thanks for a great nite guys.

For more info on the glasses, please check out Bodega’s blog.

A few weeks ago, Skrillex spent 5 nights tearing up New York City for the end of The Mothership Tour..which I honestly thought would just go on forever. it was like 6-8 months long. Seriously, the guy played something like 322 shows in 2011. I was fortunate enough to catch the first 3 nights of his NYC invasion at Webster Hall, Pacha, and at an invite only secret event WESC held at the newest addition to nightlife in New York, W.I.P.

The moment is here folks. You no longer need to think about what kind of drink you are in the mood for this evening! Simply head to Drinkify.org, select your band of choice and Drinkify will suggest their drink of choice for the act that you have chosen!

SHUTTLE

THE DIRTY PROJECTORS

SLAYER

All these bands are awesome! I missed Pepper Rabbit at SXSW so I am stoked to catch them at CMJ. Although admission is $15, I’m pretty sure limited numbers of CMJ badges will be allowed admission.

Head to http://BrooklynVegan.com for all of the deetz.

CMJ, for those of you that don’t live in New York (or that do, and live under a rock), is a South By South West style music marathon/festival that takes over New York City the third week of October every year. It pretty much kicks Christmas and Halloween and every other winter holiday that involves food and/or presents’ ass. At least in my opinion.

While the week is really fun, especially if you have a badge (although you can have plenty of fun without one), it can be really stressful, and the stress of trying to get from The NYU Kimmel Center to Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn in 12 minutes to catch a band can be overwhelming.

That is why I am here to give you some advice on how to do CMJ right! This will be my fourth year going and I am just starting to make my schedule which you can check out here

Here are my tips to a successful CMJ:

My buddy Dave was one of the sponsors of the NY Surf Film Festival that took place in Tribeca last Saturday. Dave was nice enough to hook TTHU with passes to the event and a magic card for free drinks! (Thanks Dave Unfortunately I could not photograph the awesome surf movies so you will have to stick to people getting drunk.
