I keep telling you guys about my return to my obsession with Tom Green… Well it is not without reason. This is why he is still brilliant. He rocks the house from city to city.

I don’t really understand what photos Apathy likes and which ones she doesn’t. So some of these photos might be down tomorrow when she yells at me for the bad ones. They all look hot to me. She is biting on Keyle, go go dancer extrodinere, who I think I have mistaken for a woman on more than one occasion. I think this brings up the age old question: Is it gayer to look at a girl hooking up with a dude, or a girl hooking up with a dude who looks like a girl? Oh, the world may never know. Here are the photos. Unsafe for working purposes.

According to my records I have not been to Hiro in almost exactly 6 months.  That is insane.  How is that even possible.  I had to shoot last night because it was the Fools Gold VS Dim Mak show and I have hung out with all these guys in Texas and Miami I had to show.  I was talking to Nick Catchdubs in Miami and I realized I had seen him DJ in three states, but never in NYC, despite the fact that we are neighbors.  I still haven’t seen him in NYC as I missed him last night.  I missed A-Trak too.  I caught Steve Aoki and Sinden though.  They rocked the party well.  I told A-Trak that the last time I saw him DJ I was in a swimming pool, which is not even a joke.  I got out, jumped on stage in my swim suit, got a few shots and jumped back in the pool.  I wish I could go to more shows while swimming.  Anyway, I had fun.  I feel like there are people I am missing in my life that hang out at Hiro on Thursdays.  I might need to start hanging out again.

Here are the photos.

I am probably way behind the times on posting this, but I am sort of in love with this site.  I have received several of these from a past roommate, and wish I saved them so I could send them into this site…  My current roommate is slightly less passive of his complaints.  I also had a roommate who kept leaving his underwear in the bathroom, so I just started throwing them away.  One day he completely lost his shit about it and threw the trash can across the room.  I also once lived with a guy who had Dawsons Creek posters in our doorm, was obsessed with adult contemporary music and had never heard of the Beastie Boys. “I haven’t heard them, but I am familiar with the genre.”  “You mean rap?” “I hear people playing it in their cars down town.”  The best part was he was a music major.  You should tell your friends about drivenbyboredom and hten maybe enough people will come that I can get some real ads and maybe I can live alone again one day…

Did someone say pool party?  Shit.  I need to shoot nothing but pool parties.  Fuck night clubs.  Swimming + Bikinis + Sun = Amazing.  Normally I hate going out in the sun, but there is something really fun about pretending I am drowning.  That might be the gothest sentence I have ever said.  Seriously though, I held my breath for over two minutes and when I came up I was extremely dizzy and couldn’t figure out the lyrics to one of my favorite Eazy E songs that was being spun.  The day was really great. It was a Sunday day party and a lot of the Winter Music crowd was already gone.  I met all these crazy local girls who were way fun and looked real cute.  There was one named Kat who I thought was so cool and she was just out of control fun.  At some point she lost her ring in the swimming pool and she was crying and flipping out and such.  No one could find it, but since I am such a man, I did.  I also found her friends car keys that he did not know he was missing.  I was pretty much a hero cause I am amazing like that, but I failed to get her number even though she pretty much offered it to me.  I was only in town for the night anyway. (FYI.. Kat… I will be in Miami in September… hit a brother up yo…)  Okay, back to the day.  More free Sushi, more free Vitamin Energy and some crazy Miami girl with fake boobs and tans.  I also helped Spankrock steal a bottle of Vodka.  That was pretty amusing.

Anyway, there are a lot of great photos in this gallery, so much so that there is a record number of main page shots… See below…

Okay.  So Miami was crazy.  The Penthouse party I shot at the Raleigh was pretty great.  Free sushi and liquor Vitamin Energy drinks and a bunch of DJ’s.  Plus their was a gifting suite so pretty much everyone who is anyone in the electro scene seemed to be there.  I squashed my beef with the Misshapes, I talked punk rock with Jesse from MSTRKRFT and had a 15 minute conversation with Steve Aoki about the best way to jump off the roof of the hotel and still survive.  All the best photogs were out too with representatives of NYC, LA and Chicago in the house.    I really should not let this much time pass between when I take the photos and when I put them up, because I sort of forget everything that happened.  I guess these photos will have to tell the story.

The Club Monico event was the only thing I had to do on Friday.  The rest of the day I had to myself.  Unfortunately everyone I was hanging out with had more work to do.  I really wanted to go swimming and I was told that if I came with them to this Vitamin Energy giveaway they would take me to the pool at the Standard which would be amazing (it was).  I agreed.  They were going to shoot the giveaway themselves with a little point and shoot camera just to prove they did it, but I said I would do it for them for fun.  Since the photos didn’t have to be good I just dragged the hell out of my shutter and tried to play around with the photos.  I got a lot of really bad shots but some cool ones too.  I wasn’t going to even put these up, but some of the photos are really funny and the roller girls were really cute, although one of them stole my hoodie and has not sent it back to me yet.  Anyway, watch the girls hand out energy drinks here.

I worked an event at a Club Monico retail store in South Beach during Winter Music. It was mostly just people handing out Vitamin Energy drinks and a few DJ’s spinning. Tommie Sunshine was there. Anthem Magazine was also sponsoring. I was mostly just shooting photos for marketing reasons. Nothing too exciting, but it was just day one in Miami. Had to get some work done before we could have fun. It wasn’t the highlight of my trip as half way through the event I broke my lens and had to walk several miles to over pay for a new one. Check the shots.

This is where the Miami photos start. Let’s start at the end. My last night in Miami for the Winter Music Conference…

Have you ever gotten to trash a hotel room? Did you feel pretty fucking rock and roll? I know I did. What do you get when you combine 7 people with a weeks worth of open bars, no sleep, Columbian marching powder, loud punk rock music and a penthouse suite. Chaos. Everyone seemed like they were settling into bed when we came to the realization that pretty much everyone staying in the penthouse at the Raleigh at Winter Music was a fan of early 80’s punk and hardcore. A few X songs turned into a few Misfits songs which turned into a few Minor Threat songs. And when drunk high people here loud aggressive songs about not drinking and not doing drugs, something is going to get fucked up. Two girls started fighting, guys jumped in. Lamps got smashed, drinks got spilled, people got injured and my Yashica point and shoot camera got broken. When it was all over I realized I was too busy taking photos to do any damage so I grabbed a full glass of rum and threw it at the bathroom mirror. I just had to be part of such a lovely evening… Here are a shit ton of photos of girls wrestling and things getting knocked over. Fun!
