I hope everyone is enjoying their July 04, 2009 holiday weekend.

DJ Graham Silver referred The Chevy Chase Country Club to Awesome Entertainment on Friday since they had a last-minute need for an awesome entertainer. It was their member's July 04 pool party. DJ-MC Jeff agreed to handle the event.  All went smoothly (of course) and the impromptu "cannonball contest" drew the adults with the 'kids'.

I was happy to stay with my family and shot video of "the boys" in their first parade. My wife is part of the "Temecula Valley Moms with Multiples" club. They were part of the July 4th festivities and the "July 4th parade video" is COMING SOON but for now enjoy this video which is featured on MattandLuke.com.

Matt sings his "ABCs". He loves to sing and is now learning "Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas. Daddy "DJ Peace" has just mixed Matt and Luke a Dance CD loaded with sing-a-long favorites.



Sunday I had a meeting with a prospective client and a final timeline/music meeting with an existing client in the afternoon followed by a night at the "Bowl".  Here is a breathtaking photograph taken by photographer: Adam Latham.



I attended the Hollywood Bowl with DJ Jeff. The artists included Death Cab for Cutie, The New Pornographers and Tegan and Sarah. Death Cab did well but I was a bit disappointed with the 2nd half which featured the Los Angeles Philarmonic. It seemed to be thrown together quickly. The conductor was David Campbell (who probably scored the symphony parts). Mr. Campbell has a famous son: Beck and he is featured on KISS Symphony where he conducted the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in full KISS make-up! I flew to Australia to see the KISS Symphony show which gave me an excuse to re-visit the Land Down Under. Australia features some of the friendliest people on the planet and some pretty big Potato Rockcods, too!

KISS is releasing a new album very soon which was recorded "old school" style: Analog, all band members playing "live" in a studio together and they wrote and played all their own tracks. The band is touring US in the fall with the city choices being based on voting by their fans.
