Tim sent me this ill 360 degree inside-the-tube surfing video, made possible by a special 25 lb camera and lens kit.
Yes, someone had to actually surf Teahupoo, one of the gnarliest waves in the world, while carrying the camera.
Mahalo.
It's been a long week at Artgig and I know we're all welcoming the holiday weekend with open arms.
What better way to celebrate the unofficial kick-off of summer than a return to one of last summer's major highlights–Thievery Corporation at Central Park's Summerstage.
It was a perfect summer day and night of good friends, good vibes and great music.
I've recently stumbled upon a YouTube treasure chest of live shows I've attended over the years and I'm happy to say, this was one of the best.
The video doesn't do it justice, of course.
The frame is simply too small and the technology too primitive to capture and share the overall experience.
But here goes anyway.
Go fire up the grill and crack a cold one–this one's on me.
Artgig is a pretty good gig but I'm afraid Ben Southall's got me beat.
The 34 year-old Brit was recently appointed the caretaker on an Australian tropical island for the next six months.
Lucky Ben was chosen from over 34,000 applicants, competing for the job in a reality TV-style promotion by Tourism Queensland.
The job responsibilities include: feeding the fish, cleaning the pool and collecting the mail...oh, and blogging about it.
And he'll pocket $110,000 for his trouble.
Lis sent me the application a while back but sadly, it got lost in the pile of work on my desk.
I checked out the official website, and it's a big flashy thing that takes a bit to load.
It also looks like they concentrated most of their efforts on the contest and have very little to say right now.
But there should be more to come on July 1 when Ben reports for duty.
Don't work too hard, Ben...
