Favorite Event of the Year: Capitol Hill Block Party 2011

Two out of three days was just enough to make this festival not only the highlight of my summer, but the most memorable moment of the year. Who can turn down a weekend of great company, amazing live performances, free goodies, front row at Cults, stellar weather and meal breaks at all of my favorite restaurants just outside of the gates? You can’t.

Runner Up: Girl Talk at the Showbox SODO and being on stage!

THIS IS THE BEST THING I’VE SEEN ALL DAY

No, this is the best thing I have seen in a long time. The Juggalo documentary was ok, but it is nowhere near as meaningful as this story right here. Four years ago, Ross Capacchioni who was a teenager at the time, was shot by someone he thought was a friend in his hometown of Detroit. In this short documentary, Ross tells his story of what happened that day, how he survived, and how he has been recovering since.

I absolutely love things like this and I am surprised to see that it doesn’t have more views than it does because it is such an inspiring story. I can’t imagine … or I can imagine, I mean – I’m not articulating this well, but his friends and family are lucky to have him. I watch this video and I look at this guy and I think ‘wow, his friends and family must be so proud of him and lucky to have someone like him in their lives.” I’m speechless. Therefore, it is making me write poorly, but I urge you to take the time to watch this.

This is the most touching story that I have seen in such a long time, so I’m going to make sure it stays at the top for another day in case you need another chance to watch it.

EDIT: 10/8/2011 – 11:57 PM – I have no idea how long this video has been blocked, but hopefully I can try to find it again.

EDIT: 10/9/2011 – 12:15 PM – Part 1 and 2 are working again and this time are coming straight from The Berrics. However, if by some chance, these videos stop working again – you can watch them here and here.
