We just recorded a live DVD with Everlast at the Key Club. HDNet did a 12-camera HD shoot, and we tracked to Pro Tools as well for a future release. The show was a ton of fun, with a bunch of guests onstage and eye-catching people in the crowd. Be on the lookout for that coming to a TV near you sometime in the first part of 2010.

We have one more quick show in Vegas coming up, then Everlast’s baby is due and I’m going on tour with my wife! Her schedule is at http://shannoncurtis.net/tour — come out and say hi if we’re in your town.

The LCN European onslaught continues! The reception over here is amazing right now. The Hip Hop Kemp crowd was INTENSE! One of the best crowds I’ve ever mixed for. SO inspiring.
