Hello people!

The first month of 2010 is soon to be over and the new decenium couldn’t start out any better, the epic year-bar has been set! It has happened so much, this blogpost is gonna be a big one :P Mostly semi-crap images caught on my iphone as usual, but it will have to do!

First out

is my first DJ-gig in New York! Jens, James and some of their friends threw a big party at the beautiful lounge of Thompson Hotel LES and asked me to DJ the event, of-course I said yes! It was a great evening except from som minor technological issues with the DJ-setup. Even though the place was a lounge, I managed to scrape some dancemoves together from the crowd :)

One pale dude :P

The beautiful Thompson Hotel LES! For ALOT of pictures from the night, visit Your-Majestys flickr-page (some pictures might be NSFW)

Next thing

is that mine and Kristofers first project on Your-Majesty has gone live! We made a flash micro-site for Bloombergs upcoming campaign “Think Technology Solutions”. It was quite the challange to get all 3d stuff in there so I’m very proud that it turned out the way it did. Check it out here –> Think Technology Solutions

I learned tons of stuff during this project that will help me handle the next incoming projects much more efficient!

Puerto Rico!

Even more epic than the previous headlines are that Your-Majesty decided to invite the whole company on a trip to Puerto Rico for the weekends! We went there for 5days and stayed at Hilton Caribe.

We had a great time, so much crazy fun. Unfortunately the weather was pretty rough at sometimes, but we compensated with drinkin Pina Coladas instead, which helped out. We also happened to time in the monthly carneval of San Juan (the capitol of Puerto Rico). Alot of people doing alot of crazy shit :P

Photo galore!

Four serious dudes and a happy Georgios!

The view that greeted us every morning.

And Margaritas! (Love the Duckface Krista)

After drinks we went downtown to check out the carneval everyone was talking about. There was ALOT of people hangin out, dancing and what not!

We did as the locals and bought ourselves some Puerto Rican Partydrinks! Basically slush-puppy with alot of rum added to it :P Happy lads!

Wtf is that?

Looks like they spotted something…

Great hairstyle

Damn that dude have an awesome Padawan tail going on… Better drink more to calm my jealousness…

Aaw, attention

Feeling muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better now!

After a while we decided to enter that blue building in the background inside was, wait for it…

We did not only drink us off our asses on the streets of San Juan…

We did it at fancy places to!

I did not leave the casino with alot of money…

It sure was a couple of exciting days.

Instead of checking to rehab, we are now all back at the office, working our asses of as usual.

But I can’t really complain about my internship so far ;) Not a single thing actually, I’m loving it, as fat people say.

There is more pics from our adventures on the Your-Majesty flickr-page!

Btw

Here are two pics of how the custom “shoebox” rooms turned out, mine still looks like a piece of sh**t so I can’t show it yet, I’ll do it when I’ve visited IKEA ;)

The living room, each window is a shoebox, mine is the one on the top right! Keeping it minimal with the furniture. Although we let Greg go loose with a Krink-pen:

Urban living yao.

So how have your first month been so far?

So the holidays are finally over. We had a ton of friends visiting during the holidays, and my wonderful girlfriend even came to visit me over new years, it couldn’t be better!
As usual I’m blogging so late at night so I can’t come up with anything good to write about. But I’ll be doing my first videoblog soon! I think I’m gonna start doing more videoupdates in 2010!

Some random pictures from the last couple of wonderful weeks.

5pm at New Years eve… I had almost lost faith in that we should host the most epic new years party in Brooklyn.

But we stocked up on beer…

And had the best of times!

party

The whole thing ended up with all the party apartments on the 7th floor partying together! Blast! (Last three pics stolen from Gregmacks flickr, check it out for more New York pics!)

bathroom

We even had goodlooking people forming a line for the bathroom!

Thanks to everyone to who showed up! And to our lovely neighbors who allowed us at their places!

The days when we didn’t party I spent urban exploring and in cosy cafés with Sara-Lee, best of times :)

Streetart comes in many forms and sizes yo.

putin

Unfortunately for my blogpost all other pictures were taken with SLs camera so this is all I have for now… So I’ll end this little photopost with a nice piece of “Suspicious Putin” that we found somewhere around Bedford avenue.

Although I filmed a little bit yesterday when I took a powerwalk over Williamsburg bridge! The view was insane, kind of not showing on the movie, but I speak swedish with a funny Smålänsk accent. Weird to hear yourself on tape…
