DJ Spark: The Walk of Fame (Los Angeles, CA)
2 CommentsPosted on Thursday, May 3rd, 2007
The Henry Fonda Theater, Hollywood blvd., right on the Hollywood “Walk of Fame.” The venue was lavish, complete with a rooftop patio, 300 seat balcony, washroom attendants and massive red curtain gracing the stage. The venue, honestly, was very intimidating. The doors opened at eight with about 70—80 people lined up around the corner. I [...]
DJ Spark: Vegas, Bro! (Las Vegas, NV)
0 CommentsPosted on Friday, April 27th, 2007
It was about a six hour drive down the mountains, over the woods and through the desert to Las Vegas. I could pretty much feel my wallet shrinking the closer we got to town. It was an early show and everyone was about two hours late due to hip hop savings time. Doors opened at [...]

4/11/07 - Vail, CO
The day started out in Boulder with a few rounds of 7, 17. Just for the record I am an undefeated 4-0 for the tour. Before we left for Vail, we had to make quick stop back to “Jus Burritos” for breakfast. The two hour trip took us up two miles [...]

It was only a 30 min or so drive from Denver to Boulder, home of the University of Colorado running, fighting, something buffalos, yeah I know the plural form of buffalo is B. The day started around 2:30 with a breakfast burrito at “Jus Burritos” smothered in green chili. Jedi Mind Tricks crew had [...]

4/8/07- 4/9/07: Travel day/Denver
We decided to split up our 15 hour drive by staying on of those “Fantastic 6″ motels in Nowheresville, Nebraska, another goal on tour is to stay at all the motels that have single digits. If your keeping score at home, first of all thats pretty pathetic and second…cross off numbers [...]
DJ Spark: Ninja Style (Chicago, IL)

Chicago, Il.
This was my first time in Chicago, and let me say both the show and this city were off the hook! Last night’s venue, a sold out Subterranean, over capacity, has probably been the best show so far on tour. The venue is just a half block from the roar of the el-train and [...]

First off, you need five [...]

It was 73 degrees in Pittsburgh, today its 30 degrees and snowing in Cleveland. Like, what’s going on?! The only heat here in Cleveland was the Miami Heat team plane arriving at the airport. Right as we got into town Shaq was taxiing the runway, in town for their game with the [...]
