Music Makes The People Come Together, Apparently...
free to associate. Author: adam daniel weissAfter spending a simply spectacular weekend with some of my closest friends out in Fire Island (my liver is quite disappointed in my actions!), today I start my new job at Ministry, and I just can't wait! I already have two trips lined up, Houston/Austin this weekend, and Boston the next. Woohoo!
Other highlights include new songs from Mika, Jordin Sparks, J-Lo and Sugar Ray (didn't their career die when Mark McGrath started hosting Extra??). Plus, a fun new song by Rhianna ft. Lady Gaga, a hot mix of "Heavy Cross" by The Gossip and a mix of a great song by an awesome new band called Empire of the Sun, which you should all check out. Of course for good measure I included a song by MY American Idol, Adam Lambert (I'm such a Lamb!), his version of the dreadful "No Boundaries"...perhaps there's also a hidden song on here? Hmm...
Download it HERE! Remember, link is at the bottom, and you have only a week to download it before it expires...enjoy!

it's amazing to me that someone who is virtually unemployed like myself can be just so damn busy! how does that happen? Well, lets see, I'm planning my best friend's 30th Birthday Party (which is going to be insaaaane!), I just went down to DC with my best gal to do the press junket for "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" which was very cool. I got to see Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Amy Adams, Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria, Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant (the writers whom most people know as Dangle and Junior from "Reno 911"). The junket itself took place within the National Air & Space Museum, after the museum itself closed, which was cool, plus I got to work with Jackie and Leah, my two fave MD girls, which was superfun! Walking around the museum late into the night was fairly surreal, since I had gone so many times as a kid, and now I was walking around and it was empty. It was silent and serene and pretty damn cool. I was with the director, Shawn Levy all day/night, and he spoke very passionately about the movie which was pretty awesome...I'll have to check it out now!

Blue Hill at Stone Barns 
mmm...meat.... 
ferran adria approving of the embryonic egg...yes it's real, yes it was delicious! 
Last week I was also about to work an event at Blue Hill at Stone Barns with my old boss Cory, which was great fun. Me being a foodie, I have been wanting to go to BHaSB for ages, especially after hearing about just how amazing the food was and the methods of agriculture and how they cultivate almost all of the food on the premises. Stone Barns is actually the former Rockefeller farm, and it's spread out over several acres in Pocantico Hills, about 40 min north of NYC. The place is gorgeous, but more importantly they discuss how producing their own food on the farm (both veggies and meats) helps with the impact of local cultivation. It's an amazing place, and their chef Dan Barber not only just won the James Beard Award for Best Chef (a culinary Best Actor Oscar), but he was featured as one of Time Magazines 100 Most Influential People. I was also able to meet/work with Ferran Adria, who is basically considered the Worlds Best Chef from his restaurant elBulli in Spain...it's been named "Worlds Best Restaurant" five times, and he is regarded as a genius in the culinary world. Needless to say, it was an amazing day for me, I got to see James Beard Award winners, have food cooked by the hottest chef in the world right now and just take it all in.
So yeah, even though I don't start my new job for a week, I'm a busy, busy boy.
(Side Note: Go to the Coldplay website and download their free live album LeftRightLeftRightLeft before time runs out. It's amazeballs.)

So, lets start off with the sad news, my turtle Barnes, has died. He joins his brother Noble up in that turtle heaven in the sky. He lived a good "long" life, and he died peacefully in his lil cage in the window. In lieu of flowers, please send cash.
Good Times: Just got back from Disneyland with Benji, Marla and my gal Jiller. Couldn't have had a better time being a kid again, so much fun! Thanks again Ben!!
Well, I have really dropped the ball with this blog, and I am really not updating it nearly as often as I had originally intended! But look for more posts in the coming days!
So, the good news, I gots myself a new job! Starting on June 1st, I am the new Events Coordinator for the US arm of Ministry of Sound, which is a HUGE music label and lifestyle brand in the UK. My responsibilities will include the coordination of DJ sets and residences for the Ministry of Sound brand as well as Hed Kandi, which is a fun, sexy pop/disco/lounge brand that they describe as "Deliciously Stylish" (God, I love that!). My job will require me to travel to the residences in Vegas, Dallas, Boston, Chicago, Miami, and most likely Mexico, Canada and maybe even more! I'm very excited for this, because as you all know, I love music, and I love the nightlife (cue Alicia Bridges!) so this is perfect for me! I can't wait!
