Tron Legacy 3D IMAX in King of Prussia

So I have a voucher for two passes to see Tron Legacy tonight in King of Prussia. It doesn't come out until Friday. I called the theater to ask if it was in 3D. They couldn't tell me if it was going to be in 3D or not. I don't want to see it in 3D for a number of different reasons (but thats another post for another day). The pre-showing is at 7pm, the movie starts at 8pm. The voucher claims first come first serve and there is no guarantee you will be admitted if the theater ends up being over booked. The promoter can give away as many vouchers as they would like. I was really excited to go tonight. Then my reasoning kicked in and I had this chat with my wife over gtalk.


Andy:
nice
i dunno about this tron thing

serenafdee:
Why?

Andy:
its a hike up to KOP and we'd be driving in rush hour traffic

serenafdee:
Not feeling it?

Andy:
I wanna see it, but I'm not feeling the drive and the chance it may be in 3D which is looking more and more the case since I'm studying up on it
Imax 3d tickets cost 17.50 so We have two tickets worth 35.00

serenafdee:
Ok hmm

Andy:
its 78.4 miles from our house
your car gets an avg of 23 mpg?
so 156.8 miles round trip make it 150 and round down to 20 mpg we have 7.5 gal of gas at 3 dollars makes it $22.50 just in gas
plus we will prob eat out so add another ten to fifteen
thats between 30 to 40 dollars
to see a free movie an hour and a half away with no traffic
if we go see any movie in 2D at Dover that starts between 4 and 6pm its only 6 bucks a ticket, 8 bucks a ticket after 6
oh wait matinee is $8 and evening is 10.50
so we could see tron 2D at 4pm this week after friday for 12 bucks
saving ourselves 30 dollars and 4 hours of driving in traffic


TL DR:
I'm such a nerd.

Long Time No Post. Where Did Skrillex Come From?

Skrillex has hit the electo/dubstep scene recently with a few remixes and a couple of releases. I would see his name pop up on dubstep and electro forums and he would be compared to Datsik and Deadmau5 and others. You may know him as Sonny Moore, the former lead singer of From First to Last.


From First To Last - Note To Self
Uploaded by epitaphrecords. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.

He left From First to Last, having vocal problems and getting an operation, and announced in early 2007 he would pursue a solo career. He toured under a few different variations of his legal name. Fast Forward to Summer of 2010, after playing at LA night clubs as Skrillex for about a year, Sonny releases My Name is Skrillex his first EP. Deadmau5 picks him up on his record label and they release Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites



I believe its producers like Sonny who will migrate the hardcore/emo/scremo scene kids into the electronic dance music scene. They are the kids that are open to it and are growing up.

Another one of my favorites -



This little video interview pretty much sums it up.

Hiatus

Sorry to anyone who still reads this blog, or attempts to see if I've updated it. I've been pretty busy with work and haven't had time or was interested to blog. A lot of cool things are happening in the music circles I follow.

Things I noticed the past couple of days.

Diplo getting to endorse a blackberry. Points to both sides. But RIM... you guys are slacking. Android is taking over.




So Me made a video for Duck Sauce. Its essentially a well edited shout out to Fools Gold fam, sad to say I didn't see Catchdubs. His part must have been cut to insert a few seconds of Kanye. Who cares about Kanye? facepalm

Flufftronix - Unsafe At Any Speed VOL 1

Philadelphia is a treasure chest of artists and producers. Flufftronix is one to keep a watch out for. After his very successful Luvstep mix with Dirty South Joe, Fluff has put together another mix that will keep your heart pounding. With the explosion of Dubstep into the underground electronic dance music genre in the Eastern Coast here in the US, one can only take note of the diversity in the scene. I can't be surprised when my hip-hop lovin thug friends are asking me about the next dubstep party. Hip-hop and dubstep are similar in that they are close in BPM and are mostly driven by the bass. Flufftronix does an amazing drop giving us enough vocals in this mix to satisfy the tastes of many an appreciator of music. Thats where Fluff is different from the other cats in this scene. He has the talent to distinguish how deep to take us into the depths of the underground while treating the mainstream in us with some familiar vocals.

This mix features a lot of great producers in the scene right now: Rusko, Benga, Munchi, Nero, Zombies For Money, Tim Dolla, Drop The Lime, J-Wow and others. Flufftronix takes us on a ride deep into the belly of the beast dropping some heavy stuff. He blends the music well bringing a symphony of bass to your body. This mix should be listened to on a proper system. Keep Fluff on your radar and check out his weekly parties in Philly.
