Above photos were taken by Steve Aoki after his performance using the phone of the male, above the girl, holding the t-shirt asking Steve to choose them for the Cake-Face. Part of Steve’s performance custom is to do what he calls Cake-Me or Cake-Face where he throws a cake in someone’s face. On this night Steve chose two people. One that was part of the political campaign staff and the other was the girl beside Gig who was holding the t-shirt to attract Steve’s attention, and was on the shoulders of the male beside Gig.

Gig was covered in cake and it was on and down his shirt. Below is a photo of the cake remnants on the floor in front of him

If Gig writes a book, he says that he may include a detail about his encounter with Ken Shamrock.

Gig has met a lot of people in the music industry and has been to many concerts. He has even been backstage before, during and after concerts.
For example:
November 22, 2013 Gig was backstage for the concert with Drake and guests Miguel and Future, and attended Drake’s sound check before the concert.
November 23, 2013 Gig was backstage for Michael Buble where he watched Michael throw around a football before the concert and listened to his traveling crew speak French and English interchangeably. In jest, Gig says that he assumed they were Canadian when he observed someone listening to a professional hockey game on the radio.
November 29 and 30, 2013 Gig was backstage for Justin Timberlake where Gig watched Justin take basketball shots before the concert on the 30th. Gig received a set list, which is a list of the songs and order to be performed for the concert, which he gave as a souvenir to a woman who was in the front row of the concert, who received their tickets from her husband as a birthday gift, and was there with her daughter.
December 6, 2013 Gig was backstage before Beyonce’s concert but Beyonce was late and never did a sound check nor met with anyone, but Gig did receive her set list. After the concert Gig went backstage but Beyonce stayed onstage celebrating the birthday of her twin dancers. While backstage Gig saw that Beyonce’s driver had backed up to the stage which Gig assumed meant she was leaving the arena immediately after leaving the stage.
Gig noticed that Beyonce’s show was highly produced, and her fans were some of the most passionate.
Gig attended a private concert by the group Fun in October or November 2013 and a private concert January 8, 2013 by 3 members of the group Maroon 5 who played an acoustic set led by Adam Levine. A private concert is one that is not advertised and not open to the public. Tickets are not sold and the attendees are invited
