Too manic for just one Monday, here’s part two of my month in recap
Sublime to the Jersey Shore, and my virtual DJ debut…. 
Ready, set…. go!

Hop Around. Dishcrawl
In college I missed out the on beer crawls (NYU, not known for their alcohol-induced sports), but when approached with the opportunity to dish crawl, I made time… and room for a resto hoppin’ evening. Dishcrawl is a social dining experience through 4 restaurants in 1 night with a group of equally as-awesome-as-I-am food lovers. One tip - make sure the restos are worth crawling to, otherwise you may end up b-lining it to Billy’s Bakery.  

I’m about to @Dishcrawl… Mouth, you can thank me later #restaurantweek

Reminisce. Sublime with Rome.
There’s nothing to say here. I grew up on Sangria, and dialing 439-0116. I thought Ruca was a hot model, and Garden Grove was a destination in Bali. Tragically, my favorite musician of all time, Bradley Nowell, passed in 1996 and my dreams of seeing the world with Sublime by my side were crushed. But last year, a musical collaboration was formed between Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh of Sublime, and singer and guitarist Rome Ramirez. Now I know, it’s not the same, but Rome’s skills can’t be denied, and seeing Sublime live, in any form… priceless. 

@SublimeWithRome is my horcrux #sublime #loveofmylife http://lockerz.com/s/122701373

Relax & Rage. Jersey Shore.
In a summer full of first-times, I figured I’d go all the way…. the Jersey Shore way. One night at the Osprey did in fact include fist-pumping, tequila chugging and fight dodging. But the true tale to tell, is that Point Pleasant is oh-so-pleasant. Tiny towns, vintage shops, ice-cream trucks with metal bells, and bakeries with that just-cooked smell. Step away from the MTV-Vehicle, and see the Shore for yourself. 

Ice cream trucks. Undercurrent. Outdoor showers. Brie. Fig spread. Rose wine. Weathered shackles. The Shore. @LiebzMeAlone @pattymayo116

Spin. Turntable.fm Live Bash.
In other news… I am officially a startup freak, and there’s no sexier startup right now than Turntable.fm. Kanye West and Lady Gaga are both officially investors and while my cash flow may be running low, my virtual DJ skills are at an all-time high. So when I was asked to be 1 of the first folk to spin live, at a real live Turntable.fm party, I could not refuse. Not only could I not refuse, but I let my dance-freak-flag fly with original tracks, and a lemur cap. Thanks to New Work City for hosting the awesome bash, and Doctor Klein for telling me about Turntable.fm months ago, even though I didn’t listen. 

DJing in the IRL @TurntableFM Dance Party Room. I’ll be taking you around the world, so buckle up #turntablefm http://t.co/k06Ybqf #ttfmirl

#CollectiveClan RT @djtannernyc: @jetsetfarryn absolutely destroying @turntablefm party right now. Amazing.

Drive. Flying Lessons.
There will always be something you want to taste, or test out, or try. And in my case, the list is endless. This year, I drove race-cars and stood on stage at Coachella; I tasted bone-marrow and skied my first slope. But flying, flying a plane, was never something I thought possible. I’ll be straight with you: driving out to Farmingdale on a beautiful summers day, taking the reigns in a one-engine Cessna and flying over Jones Beach, was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. But accomplishing that feat, and going for it, was by far the best part of my day.

You live once. So go out and live it. Happy August.

Since Doctor Klein put me on to Turntable.fm a few months ago I’ve been hooked… and seriously hooked in to what is one of the most innovative and fun music startups we’ve seen since Napster… yeah I said Napster. I’ve been running around the rooms, trolling the turntables for tunes and debating over valuations with DJ Wooooo. But this morning I woke up to the best. email. ever….. “Jetset, I would like to officially invite you to DJ our real life Turntable.fm Dance Party! You’ve rocked our socks in some way and look forward to seeing you do it in person!”

Do I, want to spin, at the first ever, non-virtual, virtual DJ event, with five other down-like-Klosman DJ’s? Y.E.S. And to top this bad boy off, they’ve invited my partner-in-techy-crime, Doctor Klein, to join me in the booth as well. So send in suggestions, give me tips and get ready to rage. DJs will be scored by how many people are dancing…. and thankfully, that’s never been a problem for me.

When:  Thursday 7/28 from 8pm until late… 
Where: 412 Broadway
How: JetsetFarrynRocks promo code for tickets

DJ Woooo is a he. He is located in the Northeast, and splits his time between NYC and a rural town in New England. He works for startups in NYC developing mobile apps. He is the godfather of Turntable.fm aka the worlds #1 virtual DJ. He has over 1000 fans. He’s not into twitter, or soundcloud, although @NoPattern (the designer of Kaskade’s Dynasty album) supplied him with a killer avatar. He is not a music snob - he hopes to host Steve Aoki in his infamous turntable room and he loves a good Kid Cudi track. He was supposed to spend today on a boat, but opted to answer my questions instead. He is a gentlemen, both in and out of the booth and maybe I have a chat-room crush. And his name is Ethan. And he might be sitting next to me….. here’s my day with the Woooo (special thanks to all of those avatars who partook in the interview)
