Life Is Beautiful

This weekend marks the first ever Life Is Beautiful festival held in downtown Las Vegas.  LIB includes two days of world class music including headliners such as The Killers and Vampire Weekend. There will be a Culinary Village housing world class chefs offering up some tasty food.  But it's not just music and food, there will be an arts element to the festival including acts from Cirque du Soleil performances from shows such as 'The Beatles Love',  'Mystere', and many other fine performances.  But that's not all! A learning element that provides talks from business people, including downtown Vegas' new king Tony Hsieh, creator of Zappos.  The weekend will be packed with locals and travelers ready to hear amazing sounds, eat great food, and be amazed.  Most of the downtown has been planned to be shut down and blocked off for the festival.  It will be interesting to see how the new festival will operate.  I know I'm excited to bounce around to and from all the different stages to see some great bands such as Haim, Cayucas, and Cults.  

Here Some Sounds, Enjoy Some Logs

This Friday at Doug Fir Lounge Au Revoir Simone will be playing some dreamy electonic pop.  Any show at the Doug Fir is guaranteed to be good.  Downstairs offers a cool space decorated with log walls and a snazzy light up floor surrounding the bar.  You can sit cooly on the edges in a comfy booth or get out on the dance floor and bop around to some cool beats.  My personal favorite spot is sitting up at the bar.  Designed with a swanky aesthetic set in a wooded area, it offers a great spot to enjoy the night.  

Create a Mood, All About Those Lights

Using dangling light bulbs is a simple yet creative way to set the mood and bring the perfect amount of light.  By placing them in dark corners to add the perfect touch of light or creating a dramatic pattern in the middle of the room, this lighting technique is sure to be noticed 

These lights would be awesome to see at an event.  I see it used at a small, cool warehouse music show.  With these lights it creates a cool intimate feel with creative lighting.
