:::Rock The Ball SF VIDEOS::: My 4th Year Posting On GFY
 

A bit of a milestone for me - I've been posting on GFY for 4 years as of today.

In those four years I have made a lot of friends and acquaintances (and a few NOT friends, lol), had a lot of fun (since I mostly come here for shits and giggles), learned things about the biz I otherwise may not have learned, and also managed to do business with dozens of you.

All in all, this is a fun community to be a part of...

As my way of giving back, I volunteered to help sponsor the D-Money "Rock the Ball" show held in San Francisco last month, which took place in conjunction with the CyberNet Expo. I supplied the headline band, Smash-Up Derby, as well as a bevy of Asian Diva Girls go-go dancers.

For those who attended, I hope you enjoyed the show. As a little souvenir, I have edited some video from the show for you to watch/download.

For those who could not make it, I hope you will enjoy these videos as well, and will try to make it out to San Francisco for next year's show.

NOTE: The YouTube videos are smaller and were recompressed by YouTube, so they are choppy at times, and the sound quality isn't great. Therefore, I have included a link below each YouTube video for you to view/download the video. The best way to view them is to download them to your hard drive and play them, however if you prefer to watch them online, it's best to let the video fully load and then re-start it from the beginning.

Without further ado...I present Smash-UP Derby performing live at D$ Rock the Ball in San Francisco:

Joan Jett vs Nine Inch Nails...
