Dim Mak Tuesday – 1.13.09

So last year when I was in LA I went to the Dim Mak party at Cinespace and I had a pretty good time, so this year I figured I would try to check it out again. Last year I sort of just talked my way in and it wasn’t a big deal. I invited a friend of mine who I had a crush on in high school to come with me. She was worried about not getting in or a line or something, but I was like “I talked my way in last year and I worked for Dim Mak at SXSW and I know a bunch of people there.” I also put us on the reduced list if we made it by 11 we could just get in for $5 and I was okay paying that. Anyway, we got there at like 11:05 and they told me the reduce list was closed. And I started trying to talk my way in and the guy was like “Oh wow, that’s amazing, go pay full price.” Then the bouncer told me I couldn’t bring in my bag because it was some how against dress code for a man to have a bag. “No flip flops, no men with bags.” So now I am arguing with another guy. And all the door people are now pissed off at me. Right then like a thousand flash bulbs go off around the corner and a flock of paparazzi are following someone down the street. It is Steve Aoki and Benji Madden. Steve pulled me in and the bouncers looked like dicks. Igor 1, Bouncers 0.

Anyway, the party was a lot of fun. Pace Rock DJ’d and Benji Madden played a few tracks while Steve was Djing. They killed it a little bit. I danced a bit even. I met some cool people and yeah, good times. It was funny to be in a room and read my twitter feed and see Skeet, Pace, Dan Oh and others Tweeting about the party. LA is good for Tweeting. It is also amazing for taking photos of people. Everyone is so damned excited to get their photo taken. I can’t walk 5 feet with out getting asked to take someone’s photo. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that last year too. I also ran into Cobrasnake who I have not run into in years for some reason.

Okay, check out the photos from Tuesday. They are pretty fun.

    I couldn’t say. Maybe it is because he gets more hits than we do.

    I think he ment .. they are better photographers .. not better websites .. hits has nothing to do with it …. its the shots that count …. go look at marks gallery for this event … there is SO much More feeling in the photographs .. and he is only something like 24 years old !!!!

    You might notice that Mark is not holding a camera in any of those shots…
    And the first guy was trashing both Mark and I, but whatever…
    I think I’ll just keep doing what I am doing… I’m having fun.
