The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

Winter Music Conference pt2

Flosstradamus was easily the best dressed this year with their faux ed hardy get-ups. The final party of the conference was an epic collab between iheartcomix, mad decent, turntable lab, trouble & bass & hamburger eyes set at this gallery space near downtown Miami. The party was scheduled to go until 6am, the exact time my flight was set to depart Miami International Airport. Of course, this was the recipe for disaster. I ended up making it to the airport on time but dozed off at my gate, only to awake to an empty gate 5 minutes after my flight had left. I was super bummed nobody thought to wake me and even more worried I would never make it home, considering every flight out of town was booked solid for days to come. Long story short, the airport gods were on my side this day and US Airways hooked it up with a flight home later that day and a little cherry on the cake as well. Anyway, click the thumbs below to see all the photo madness including a party cameo from Lil Jon!

Winter Music Conference pt1

WMC began days after SXSW ended this year, so we went straight from Austin to Miami. These are photos from my first two days in South Beach. We were staying at the Gansevoort which is a pretty swank joint. Thanks to Scion for the room and the multiple parties with free food and booze. These photos are all from there or else from the Institubes party next door and Club Chicago which just opened up. As always, click the thumbs to see the entire gallery!
