2/12 DC Shoes MTV Premiere- Rob Drydek's 'Fantasy Factory'

DC Shoes sponsored the MTV premiere of Rob's new reality tv show "Fantasy Factory" which takes place in a sweet warehouse filled w/ skate parks, a giant trampoline and plenty of other potentially dangerous activities (which explains the release form i had to sign on the way in). I actually saw a photographer get landed on by a guy doing a back flip on a bike. Good times. Check Dub Daily for a few more of my photos and my gallery is coming soon.

2/8 Sara Bareilles at the Grammys

Sara B brought me along to document her first grammy experience (she was nominated for song of the year and best female pop vocalist). It was quite a day.

1/15 Scion House Party- DFA Artists

"To celebrate Scion's house party, DFA Records and The Juan MacLean brought their insane disco and acid house to the Roxy, while also premiering Yacht. If that weren't enough, L.A. twosome Classixx made an appearance and blew the roof right off the famous Sunset Strip club."
