sometime after midnight in the do lab office, on the eve of the launch of the new Lightning in a Bottle 2008 website, i used the phrase “boom wow,” and after an hour of everyone working on the site making fun of me for saying some ridiculous made up words, the phrase ended up in the front page graphic on the site.
so in case you are wondering what’s gonna go down at LIB, its…..
see you in the forest….
when katie k brought me in to stage manage her fashion show at lucent l’amour 2005 is how this all began. i say the do lab treats experience itself as an artform. 3 years later, it will be a pleasure to experience tomorrow night’s masterpiece.

2008….
there is so much i would like to say about this issue, but i have no time! so for now just enjoy the videos, and maybe at some less hectic time, i’ll get to all the rest.
the one thing i do have time to mention, is that it is an honor to create the artist network with such an amazing team: brian shaw, albertico acosta, arin ingraham, and jesse shannon–aka Y2.
thank you thank you thank you!

LA…. it’s been too long…. we shouldn’t have left you without a dope beat to step to….
and so, after an absence of over a year (our last LA event was in october of 2006!) the do lab returns once again to throw down in epic style with Lucent L’amour 2008:
all the info & tickets are at:
http://lucentlamour.thedolab.com(oh! and there’s a nifty little music player there too.)
check out the welder track! it’s rad.
here’s a slideshow of the images from the last lucent l’amour event we did in february of ’06 (i really wanted to use it on the site, but it didn’t really fit, then i wanted to use it on the do’s myspace page, but we all know how myspace luuuurves code for outside apps, so i’m including it here, cuz it’s just so darn pretty it needs to go somewhere!):
we are now skeeing sponsors for the Lightning in a Bottle Music & Arts Festival 2008:
Over the past two years The Do LaB’s Lightning in a Bottle Music & Arts Festival has become one of the most beloved, exceptional events within the West Coast’s young, active, environmentally and health conscious, creative community. Powered almost entirely by “green” alternative energy and produced as a model for sustainable large-scale live entertainment, the event is renowned as a showcase featuring some of the most acclaimed and original musical and performance acts, as well as a nexus of community and green education.
In May 2008, Lighting in a Bottle once again returns to Santa Barbara with a stellar lineup on 3 major music stages, and a slew of other attractions that include a dynamic art gallery and large-scale art installations, workshops, interactive entertainment, and much more. With the success of the previous years The Do LaB is expanding LIB08 to 4 days over Memorial Day weekend.
As influencers and leaders within the community, The Do LaB is just as committed to creating an event with the highest caliber of entertainment and ambience as we are to promoting sustainability. We fuel or offset the energy needs of the festival with solar power, bio-diesel, and wind power, and implement sustainable production practices throughout the whole event.
The Do LaB aims not only to produce an unforgettable experience, but to set an example for the creative and sustainable lifestyle. We are currently seeking to build relationships with brands and organizations that share our green vision.
