A good friend of Focus Media is hosting the second installment of Hackers On A Plane.

The concept behind Hackers on a Plane is simple:
1. Get a bunch of hackers.
2. Fly them from one hacker conference to another.
3. MF'ing hackers on a MF'ing plane!

You will have to be in New York by August 4th at 10am. This crowd is a hodgepodge of creative circuit benders, security types, cyberpunks, and people who are into stuff so new and cool there isn't a catchy way to describe it yet. The first HoaP helped to launch the hackerspace movement in the US!

More info available on the Hackers on a Plane website.

So last week we shot the video for Numbers Game’s soon to be released single “Love Dreams Love”. It was directed by Doc Nolan, and shot in the very place where the legendary George Kuchar continues to produce his legendary films. I think a jolly time was had by all. I’d like to thank everyone who was a part of it: Tucker Bennett, Chris Corrente, Naomi Larrick, Jeff Lee, Ray Lordi, Taeer Maymon, Kelli Ryan, Eric Wilson, Oryan, and Zack!

Jeff managed to snap a few shots of some of the magic. Click feverishly!

I’d like to take a second to tell you about Jes Kramer. She is a super talented girl from just outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan. She writes very heartfelt songs about very complicated situations. Its indie, its pop, but she’s so much more than indie pop. Jes has this ability, where its sort of like she’s taken a Polaroid of a very bad memory you had long forgot about, and then decorates it with glitter and googly eyes, and then serves it back to you on a plate of cookies. It doesn’t really make the memory go away, but it makes it easier to deal with.

She has recently self released her very long awaited debut LP, Hermaphrodite. It was going to be on Focus Media, than it wasn’t, than I think it was again for a little while. Either way, it’s finally out, and it sounds amazing! I understand it was recorded in between class and over long summer nights, over a period of years, all over the Midwest, by several people (including Doc on a few tracks). There is something distinctively personal and slightly magical about the record, as it perfectly captures her life in motion.

The CD is available on her myspace.

Hi everyone. Guess what, I have a new band. It’s a one man band right now. It’s called Numbers Game. I have a lot of new music since my last release and I’m sort of sorting out how to go about playing it and releasing it and everything. It’s a totally new sound for me, its way different from Noise Tank (lovesyou), and I’m pretty pumped to play it for everyone.

Please come to the El Rincon in San Francisco, Friday April 3rd, for the first show I’ve played in what feels like a millions years. I’m playing with some good people, and it should be pretty stellar.

Your Pal,
Doc

Last weekend Doc had the pleasure of DJ'ing at Core 77's connecting party.
The party included, a 20ft robot, a half naked marching band, and free tacos.
Doesn't get much better than that.
