So I hear a lot of people talkking about "Keep Fayetteville Funky" and I wsn't real sure what they were talking about since I'm not from here but this weekend I heard about this site called Fayetteville Flyer.com and it does a good job keeping us informed of the weirdos that make Fayetteville Funky.

Maybe I can get some of my Only In Arkansas moments on there. HA! 

People often ask where do I get my inspiration from when it comes to design. I believe music plays a big part of exploring new avenues of creativity and both opens my mind and challenges it at the same time. I thought it might be cool to show you what's in my Playlist as an Interactive Designer and someone who listens to music all day long.

One of the UK's best House/Indie/Breakbeats DJ was in town for a Saturday night session at George's Majestic part of the Summer Solstice. This rare US apperance brought my frind DJ Qousey in town from Austin to watch the event and boy was it awesome. Dylan Ryhmes threw down a fantastic set that pumped the crowed up and kept the dance floor packed. They had over 15 DJ's at this event including local artist Ben Scott whom I work with at Rockfish Interactive that kept the crowd pumped till shortly after 2am. With 3 stages there was surely something for everyones taste including House, Breakbeats and Industrial music out on the patio. If you haven't heard of these guys or the parties they are throwing at Georges you need to stay posted as I will update my blog when events happen and you definately need to go. Check out the pics from the party below:

Our group that went out Saturday night

So my buddy Bob here at the office entered a photography contest on the JPG Magazine site (http://jpgmag.com/). It's a picture from a while back when we found this old abandoned Resort and tagged the walls. Here is a link to his submission http://jpgmag.com/photos/773124

This place is off of highway 540 and exit 83 headed towards Beaver Lake and the Monte Ne area. If your ever out that way check out the place it's really cool. And check back on the site and see if he wins.

So after I finished clearing 50 voice mails last night of monkeys screaming in the background I decided to get a little even with one of the programmers here at work and created this mock site of him. Please check out http://winadatewithcoryglanton.com   and if any of you ladies are interested upload a video and enter to win a date with him. 

This has to be the best mashup of street art and video work. Congrats to those who put in the time and effort. i could see this style as a movie, just think the boys down in Brazil that do character design could make some badass movies in this style.
