Call it disillusionment with humanity if you like, but it seems every time I leave the house, I come home wishing I’d strangled  at least two or three of the people I’d met that day, with the expectation that it would actually make the world a better place.

Perhaps my expectations are unrealistic. Perhaps I’m setting the bar too high. Maybe I’m just a dick.

But it’s cool, because Saturday night was like a breath of fresh air. The beats were tight, the sound was good, and the people were as laid back as they were diverse. Yeah, that’s my kind of crowd.

While discussing the event with a friend, I believe the question I rhetorically asked was “why can’t the rest of the Valley be like this?”. No inflated egos. No misplaced pride. No wannabe celebrities. Just solid talent and a genuine love for the art.

Props to the Ill-Oddeo crew and everybody who put this thing together. The music scene needs more events like this.

!!!UPDATE!!!ARGGG!!!WTF!!!BBQ!!!

More pics here!

What’s also nice is that you can take just about any occupation, add the word “sexy”, and bam! You’ve got yourself a costume. Sexy nurse, sexy cop, sexy librarian, it’s all good. This only works for girls by the way, and if I see any guys dressed up as a sexy maid, I’m just going to assume it’s your coming out party.

Anywho, the pictures for Karbon are online. Big shout outs to Eric, Tommy, DJ Eddie G, DJ Domino, Joe from RGV Icons, Drew, Paola, John, Carlos, Courtney, and Claudia (I want my cricket bat back).
