friday was an absolute sweatbox. a success of a night that is hard to put into words. there’s something about these pop ups that feel alive. it’s addicting, overwhelming, and exciting all at the same time. the prep work of getting the space ready all day was daunting. setting up the speakers, figuring out how to light the place, last minute additions like ordering a custom ‘feel less’ sign, realizing at 5pm u need…

The premiere for the pop up rave we through on the vancouver skytrain rave is this wednesday, at 7PM PST. If you RSVP right now, you’ll have a chance to win some vinyl. Make sure you tune in because you can’t win if you’re not there! The video is really great. I’m proud of it. My friend Kyle finished the edit after we discussed how it should look and feel, and he did a fantastic job. It really feels like you’re there. Throwing parties and filming them are…

On Friday morning I woke up in Dallas at 6am and posted a tiktok saying “hey vancouver, text me the word TRAIN if you wanna try a different kind of pop up.” I had two flights that day. I flew to Denver, the texts had started to come in. By the time I landed in Vancouver at 3pm, it had started to circulate. I hadn’t told anyone what the plan was yet. At 5PM we said, meet at New Westminster skytrain station at…

New York City pop up happens this Wednesday! Yes! If you live there come through! It’s free. If you don’t live there but have friends who do, send them this. Going to be a sunset party on this insane rooftop we found in Brooklyn. I can’t wait I really love New York City. Sometimes I feel like I want to live there. But then I wonder, would that take away the magic and excitement I get from going to the city? Do I actually just like visiting New York? I’m not really sure. I guess there’s no way to find out other than moving there, but that seems risky to chance it just to check. Especially if I got a good thing going with just visiting. Guess I’ll just…

But we’ll get to that in a bit. I’m having a pretty good workflow these days. I feel good and I feel the momentum. I think i’m being a lot more patient with myself and not trying to cram 1000 things into one day. If I just breathe and focus on a couple things for the day, at the end of the week I still feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. Which has honestly been surprising! Focussing on less accomplishes more? Make it make fucking sense! It’s torturous to have an endless to-do list day every day. But…

It’s a pop up summer baby! On Friday Kyle and I hit the road for Victoria, dreading the concept of being in a BC Ferry line all day but coming out victoriaous (see what I did there?) as we boarded the 11am with no wait time. We picked up generators on the way into town, stopped for coffee, and started driving up the coast line scoping out spots for this pop up. I can’t stress how much of a “pop up” these truly are since by 2PM we still weren’t sure where…

At 7:30 a few people started trickling in. By 8:30 it was a few hundred. Once the sunset peaked I started to lose count, it had become a sea of people, and it was incredible. Everyone was in such a positive mood, the vibe was immaculate, the weather was perfect, it was all unreal. Once night hit, we reached peak energy levels and a proper beach rave was in full force. Then the cops showed up…
