Talking like a girl

"Kelsey Powell of Harrison, Ny., dances to mash-up style remix musician, Gregg Gillis, better known as Girl Talk, at Loyola College in Baltimore, Md., Friday, March 13, 2009."

I remember sitting in my room surfing the Internet late one night about two years ago. My buddy Lauren and I were chatting on Instant Messenger and she kept telling me how her friend was listening to this crazy mix music.

She was probably replaying the tunes in her head over and over, only unable to think of who it was since she was hearing a ton of different songs at once.

The next day she figured it out and sent me a link. It was amazing. The artist was mash-up style remix musician, Gregg Gillis, better known as Girl Talk.

I had never been to a Girl Talk show and I was advised by many friends that it was something I had to go to. In addition, to bring a shirt I wouldn't mind getting ruined from the loads of sweat.

Overall it was epic. I had an awesome experience.

And if you missed the link, I decided to throw together a short video with some stills. I sort of got anxious and posted it earlier this week, so you may have already seen it.

Also, it doesn't do much justice of getting a sense of place without video and audio of the crowd. Alas, enjoy.
