The end of 2011

It's the last day of 2011 and only a few hours to 2012. It's been a hard year for me personally but one thing I can look back on 2011 and remember are good shows. Didn't attend too much but what few I did were all really good. One particular artist I was trying to see was Skrillex. His show was sold out and he even did a smaller gig the same weekend but still could not attend. I'm really hoping I will get a chance to see one of his shows in the new year. The best show this year which ends up on top of best ever was Deadmau5 at The Rogers Centre in November. Below is a mini clip I took while up at the front on the floor. The show was taped and comes out on DVD in January 2012. The visual design team Martin Phillips and John McGuire certainly help out a great deal. Here's an article XL Video – Touring the Deadmau5 and check out the company's site XL Video
