I have been a fan of Shepard Fairey’s art work for a long time.  I actually have one of his prints hanging over my bed.  I own two more, including one of the not-so-limited Obama prints my mom got me for Christmas.  She is a huge Obama supporter and is now a pretty big Fairey fan.  It’s pretty funny that he has this huge cross over audience that now includes my mom.  I am sure you all know who Shepard is by now since his iconic Obama prints are everywhere.  I would like to hope that I have the type of fan base here that has known about him for years, at the very least knows about the Andre The Giant Has A Posse stickers.  And if not that, maybe you remember the video I posted where Boing Boing interviewed him and my idol/psudo-mentor Glen Friedman.  Whatever the case, you may not know that he also Dj’s… and he knows how to rock a crowd.  Despite shooing dance parties every single night of my life, I still have no idea of a DJ is technically good or not.  So I can’t judge him like that, but I will tell you that everyone was pretty much standing around before he went on, and he got everyone dancing.  He and I have a pretty similar taste in music it seems cause he spun exactly what I wanted to hear.  Old rock and soul to old school and some newer hip hop…. this is pretty much everything I want to dance to.

Anyway, since photos of DJ’s are insanely boring, I added a bunch of shots of the crowd going nuts for him.  I am eventually going to post the rest of the Red Bull Moon Tower crowd shots, but these are just from the spontanious dance party that broke out right infront of the stage about 3 songs into DJ Obay Giant’s set.
