Stereosonic, in logos
I won’t be going to Stereosonic. Not my thing, although I do like a lot of the producers/dj’s playing. No cobra snake photo for me :(
The designer of the poster had also created logos (some real, some not) for the dj’s on the bill. I picked out a 5 different ones and rated ‘em.

The forgotten blog
Before this blog there was a travel blog that I (sometimes) maintained when I was overseas last year. I travelled to North America, Mexico & Europe over the course of about 7 months.
