Sidekick LX 2009 Launch Party Was a Blast
Last night we headed out to the Mezzanine in San Francisco for the Sidekick LX 2009 Launch Party. The place was packed with people! There were other parties in other cities and upstairs you could hop on a laptop and use Skype to chat back and forth with partiers in different time zones. There were also screens showing the red carpet in LA. If you’re wondering what celebs showed up, PopSugar has a good photo gallery.
Downstairs on the big screens the party in LA was being broadcast while DJ Morse Code spun tunes. The bars were open and I think T-Mobile paid me back for a few months of data service. The highlight of the night in San Francisco was DJ Jazzy Jeff showing us all that he still has skills on the turntables. But perhaps even bigger news was from the LA party where Blink-182 reunited and performed a “surprise” set, their first in over 4 years. They only played a few songs but there’s already video up on YouTube:
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: If you have the chance to go to a T-Mobile party, take it.

It’s funny, everybody assumes Jazzy Jeff produced the theme song to ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ but actually, it, and all the music from the show was produced by Quincy “QD3” Jones III, the son of legendary producer Quincy Jones. QD3 is best known for producing for Ice Cube and Tupac also. I’ve met him before, very cool guy.
