These photos were taken in 2008 from August 8th through the 10th during a weekend road trip taken from Phoenix, AZ to California for the Reventon Super Estrella 2008 that took place at the Home Depot Center on the 9th of August.
This event started at 2:30PM and was a concert with a plethora of singers, bands, and DJs. The titular acts were:
Alejandro Fernandez
Juanes
Julieta Venegas
Don Omar
Belanova
La Factoria y Eddy Lover
Playa Limbo
Beto Cuevas
Banda Machos
El Reencuentro
Back then most of us didn't have camera phones, so the photos we took were with the digital cameras we had at the time. My particular camera was a Sony Cybershot, which was my second ever digital camera. Though I still have it, it no longer works properly. The photos that you see on this video are the ones taken with said camera and do not include any from the concert itself because the event said no cameras were allowed. In retrospect, I should have still taken my camera with me as there were many people that took theirs and the didn't check at the gates.
On the plus side, some of the friends I went with did take their cameras into the concert and they shared their photos via the then version of Facebook, therefore, I will be making video collages from those as well. The event also shared photos of the concert goers via their website, so I will also be making a compilation video of those photos.
Additionally, I still have some of the memorabilia, ticket stub, etc. of which will be taking photos/videos of to also share. Stay tuned!

Mixed Mess - Alfa Dance Club - Alfa Dance Club Megamix
This is mix tape that I titled Mixed Mess on Side A, then wrote Alfa Dance club on top in the spaces between it. On Side B I wrote it as Alfa Dance Club Megamix (cont.)
This leads me to believe that I made some sort of mix tape that was a mess and the decided to record the Alfa Dance Club Megamix on top of it.
A brief online search revealed that this is from the 1996 cassette/CD Alfa Dance Club Megamixes, which features two megamixes.
Side A includes the entire first megamix and a portion of the second one. Side B has the rest of the second megamix. Because there was additional space on the cassette, it appears that I decided to some additional songs to make use of it.
Even though it's uploaded as a single track for your uninterrupted listening, it remains as unedited as possible to capture the genuine experience of listening on a cassette player, including the moment of stopping to flip the tape.

In 2008, I was one of 35 volunteers that were selected for an all expense paid volunteering trip to participate in various volunteer events at the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Target House both in Memphis, Tennessee, US.

The mid nineties were my teen years and very much enjoyed (and still do) piano, saxophone, telenovelas, video games, sci-fi/action/superhero movies, and music by Thalia. As a teen with little money at my disposal, getting any new music had to be a bit selective. Many of the purchased cassettes of new music were the compilation ones.
The Vals Del Pueblo from Corazon S is how I wrote that entry on the cassette sleeve. I am fairly sure that it was from Corazon Salvaje, which was a telenovela, however not sure if it was from a cassette or CD. It is also unclear to me if the piano and saxophone songs originally came from a CD or cassette. If the original source is located, then that'll be another future upload. One thing that is for certain is that in my mind that was the bridge song for this mixed tape to switch from the piano/sax to the telenovela and Thalia songs.
These songs were enjoyed being listened to many, many times via my portable cassette player, hence the noticeable distortion on the first few tracks.
