So a buddy of mine sent me this site and said it was of some graff heads in the Northwest Arkansas Area. It's called Aerosault and they feature some of the local art and DJ's that perform in the area. They also have a nice graffiti collection in the gallery including some of the ICEE Crew out of Dallas. Check out their site Here and follow their blog for local DJ's announcements at the clubs around town. http://www.aerosault.com

So yesterday I got to take my first flight in a helicopter and I must say, it was freakin cool. We flew over Bikes, Blues & BBQ and Dickson St. we also got to see the stadium and some of the mountains around. Check out the pics from the iPhone:

 

So I hear a lot of people talkking about "Keep Fayetteville Funky" and I wsn't real sure what they were talking about since I'm not from here but this weekend I heard about this site called Fayetteville Flyer.com and it does a good job keeping us informed of the weirdos that make Fayetteville Funky.

Maybe I can get some of my Only In Arkansas moments on there. HA! 

One of the UK's best House/Indie/Breakbeats DJ was in town for a Saturday night session at George's Majestic part of the Summer Solstice. This rare US apperance brought my frind DJ Qousey in town from Austin to watch the event and boy was it awesome. Dylan Ryhmes threw down a fantastic set that pumped the crowed up and kept the dance floor packed. They had over 15 DJ's at this event including local artist Ben Scott whom I work with at Rockfish Interactive that kept the crowd pumped till shortly after 2am. With 3 stages there was surely something for everyones taste including House, Breakbeats and Industrial music out on the patio. If you haven't heard of these guys or the parties they are throwing at Georges you need to stay posted as I will update my blog when events happen and you definately need to go. Check out the pics from the party below:

So I meet this guy that plays in a Rock Band called Dreamfast that's playing in Fayetteville this Saturday, Feburary 23 at the Gypsy on Dickson. I've yet to see them play live but he game me a CD and its been in my play list ever since. They are a Pop Punk / Rock/ Powerpop Band with a female lead vocalist who can jam out. They go on about 9:00PM so if your in town this Saturday go check them out.
