Someone pay me $23 million a year to cake super-cute girls who love every second of it. (Oh, and also to hit "play" on my iPod and dance around for a couple hours, I guess.)
Yeah, what a "career"...I love how, near the end of the video, one of the cameramen can be seen eyeing the cake leftovers on the table (as he starts to put down his camera)...
Interesting note: I just saw the remake of Point Break and Aoki has about a minute of film time in it including a caking (but of a guy, sadly, with all the hot chicks dancing -- guess the director didn't want the day's film shoot to devolve into prurient fetishism...or maybe he was just clueless)...but there's a line in the film where the main bad dude refers to Aoki as having "more money than many small countries"
Johnny_Yen said: Sure that SOUNDS like a good gig until you think about all the shitty music you'd have to listen to.
Just did the math: --200 shows a year grossing $23 million --$115,000 per show --So $1000 a minute. --Plus, 4 hotties caked (minimum).
At $1000 a minute (AND a hottie caked every half hour), I could even listen to ICP. Or Kid Rock. Or Riff Raff. Or Steve Aoki's original tunes. Or The Nixon Watergate tapes. (Little "Good Place" reference for the 3 of you out there....)
I read an interview with Aoki in some music mag and he states 300 shows per year and 5 cakings per show...so, adjust calculations accordingly.
Yes, Rich, there are only a handful of people sophisticated enough to watch/like The Good Place...I keep waiting for the full-on wam scene (especially now that we now know what IT really is)

I gotta think Good Place will find a bigger audience if NBC lets it stream on Netflix (or Hulu, or Amazon) over the summer. It's definitely a "binge" sort of comedy.
I don't ever assume a full-on WAM scene in a network comedy in 2017 (or 2016, or 2015, or really any year since Family Matters was cancelled).... But this is Mike Schur, who gave us an excellent caking on The Office AND an excellent pieing on Parks & Rec.
....Unfortunately, both targets were men. But hey, maybe the women are due...?
Aoki is an AWFUL dj and producer. I've seen him live several times and each time it's like UGGHhh.. that being said.. not to take too hipster of an attitude about it... but I was cake'ing and pie facing ravers long before that ass-clown decided to take the stage. He is one of the major things that is wrong with the state of electronic music currently.
Just like anything else corporate america gets its hands on, it's being driven into the ground with cookie cutter events and artists. I can't wait till the music industry moves on to its next abomination
