Patrick Wang gets first Chevy Volt in SF Bay Area

Earlier this year, online marketing manager Patrick Wang was selected as one of the winners of the Wired Volt Challenge. He submitted one of the four winning entries to get the main prize, which included a tour of where and how the Chevy Volt gets made. Yesterday, the 25 year old from Berkeley also got the San Francisco Bay Area’s first 2011 Chevy Volt and the 10th off the Detroit assembly line. Patrick Wang is pretty passionate about his new electric vehicle. He’s even started a website about it here.

Electro cyberpunk group LACO$TE released their debut music video and single for “Numbers” off their EP “The Paradox of Time”. In the video, lead singer Xenia Shin is trapped in an 80’s inspired world fused with K-pop culture. She dons numerous K-pop styled outfits along with matching dance moves in the trippy and glitch-filled geeky underworld. Xenia came up with the storyline for the video, which was recently named winner of the Best Music Video Category at the 2010 Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival (HRIFF).

About LACO$TE
LACO$TE’s origins as a French rap party duo are almost unrecognizable in their current formation, which stretches the tension of noise (of the Southern California, un-academic genus) and pop music to their antithetical limits. The band contributed a track for Manimal Vinyl’s tribute to David Bowie We Were So Turned On earlier this year, and just released their debut EP The Paradox of Time in November.
