The second installment of our video series continues to chronicle a group of friends in New York City. Once again, our protagonists count on the protection offered by Incase products as they use the video feature of the iPhone 3GS to document their journey from Williamsburg to the Lower East Side across the Brooklyn Bridge.

The video features the songs “Devil’s Trident (The Big Pink Specialization Reality)” and “Lights Go Down” by Telepathe from their album Dance Mother. And with that, we present Experiment No. 2: Moped Ride. Look for the final short on 3/22.

We teamed up with film collective Ghost Robot to create a series of three video shorts filmed in and around New York City. Centered around a group of friends whose leisurely pursuits involve creative experiments with the iPhone 3GS, the buoyant bunch relies on the protection of Incase products to give them the freedom to push the limits of iPhone video experimentation.

Experimental noise pop group Telepathe provides the soundtrack for the segments and makes a cameo in the final video of the series. Featured here is the song “Can’t Stand It” from their album Dance Mother.

Without further ado, we present to you Experiment No. 1: Rocket Launch. Be on the lookout for the second short dropping 3/15.

Summer swooped into Brooklyn last night with Finger On The Pulse’s Summer BBQ Blow Out #1 at the Hope Lounge in Williamsburg.

Check out the full report with more photos on our MySpace page and join us for next month’s BBQ!

My view of the city from the Bowery. Might I add that the beds at this hotel are ridiculously comfy.

From golden televisions to a dude singing and blowing bubbles in the middle of the street. Cruising through Soho, there’s something new around every corner.

After a day trekking through the city, we finally headed out to the beach for the show.

While we cruised through the perimeter of the amphitheater, it was great to see the AKOG logos I created with John scattered amidst the tents. His “Another Kind of Green” campaign has been in full effect since creation and is making strides in the fight against global warming. It was a pleasure to be a part of the project back in February when we created the bags for his Mayercraft cruise.

14,00 fans at Jones Beach Amphitheater.

The show was incredible. The band was tighter than ever and John was having a blast. Even during a brief downpour, the performance on stage kept the crowd going with high energy, unaffected by the rain.

Tony, myself and Jeff. Stoked that he was able to come out and hang with us at the show.

For the encore performance of “Waiting on the World to Change”, John had requested that a group of his close friends jump on stage and fill in for the backup vocals… “waiting”. On top of the fact that he was in front of 14,000 JM fans, it was Tony’s first onstage appearance. You can peep my behind the scenes video here or read more at Tony’s blog on John’s site. And a few more here from the show. Enjoy!

Much thanks to John and all the friends for an unforgettable night.

He was even able to beat one of their star players in an arm-wrestle match.

We’re stoked Tim finally found something he’s good at, because his golfing was going nowhere…
