2009 International Secret Agents San Francisco JasonTom.com PhotoBlog coming soon!

I gotta say the 2009 ISA Concert was not one to be missed for me. I flew all the way from Honolulu and missed two days of college classes before our spring break to make it.

MEETING ONLINE FRIENDS and NEW FRIENDS in person:
I also met a lot of my online friends I've kept in touch with for more than several years and a bunch of new friends in person for the first time at the ISA concert as well. As a people person I enjoy meeting people at the rate of snapping fingers to a heartbeat. I do my very best to remember each individual I meet even though I often remix names like beats.

MEETING JIN THE MC:
It was also wonderful to finally meet Jin the MC in person... prior to this he knew of me as a beatboxer from Hawaii through MySpace where he seen my beatbox YouTube videos. When he spotted me from afar in person he acknowledged me as a full name basis as most artists do and that was a true honor from one artist to another. He also gave me a live shout out on stage after his killer ISA SF concert set. He's truly a humble individual even after his major success as an independent artist. There were others that I was also meaning to meet that I didn't find though. :(

MEETING FM:
It was also an major honor to meet FM (Prohgress, J-Spliff, Kev Nish, DJ Virman). I've been aware of FM for quite a while as well and loved their production on Jin's ABC Cantonese rap album. I also knew that they can put on a high octane energy type of show.

Wong Fu are cool dudes as well. ISA SF concert was a killer show! What an awesome way to showcase the new generation of Asian American talent. Yeah I'm not great with words when reviewing events, but bare with me. :)

OTHER NEWS:
* My last performance with Pimpbot (http://www.pimpbotmusic.com) on "40 Patrol" at Sand Island R&B this past Friday night was off the hook. I really enjoyed getting down and being able to channel the kind of "high" energy that I admit was lacking during my most recent live gigs (something I'm hugely aware of and it sucks when the sound system does not compliment what I continuously aim for). I'm constantly working on consistency. :)
