This past Monday, I got together with David Wex (of Urban Capital) and Rick Sole (my business partner) for a night of DJ'ing electronic music. We called it our inaugural developer rave session and it was a ton of fun. I (mostly) had no idea what I was doing. Rick and David were great. And together, we played to a sold out crowd that consisted of two of our wives.
David was also kind enough to host us at his bar Lisbon Hotel (it's closed on Mondays). Which is why when I posted some of the above photos on X, Affan Imran asked if we are calling ourselves the Lisbon House Mafia. I thought that was pretty good. And since I'm still in search of a proper DJ name, that's the title of today's post.
Maybe when we do this again, we'll open it up to more than 2 people. Maybe.

I have been told by some of you that when I write about snowboarding, you tune out on those days. If you are one of these people, then today is a good day to skip over on the blog. See you tomorrow.
However, if you're not one of these people, and you enjoy exceedingly cool things, then you're going to want to take 6 minutes and -- at the very least -- watch Part III of the above video. Travis Rice is one of the best. And in this Red Bull video he goes from BC to Wyoming. (If for whatever reason it doesn't start in the right place, click here and fast forward to 7:22 for Part III.)
I once heard Quentin Tarantino say that if you choose the right song for the right scene in a movie, you'll never be able to listen to that song ever again without thinking of the movie. (Think Pulp Fiction.) Now, this isn't a movie per se, but it definitely feels like one of those cases. This techno song will forever remind me of this psycho "pillow" run.
As a broad rule, I like videos and movies that feature Toronto. I think it should happen a lot more often. So here's Drake's latest music video, which does exactly that. If you can't see it below, click here.
