The California musician and performer calls himself a "hardcore partier," a description that he more than lives up to. He's best known for his 2001 hit "Party Hard," which has become an anthem to live by. Embodying a lifestyle of partying hard not just in his music but also in his personality, this maniac once did a 43 minute air drumming workout video. That should give you a taste of what to expect from his live show.

The brilliant Local Sightings film festival will show films that reveal the answers to these questions, through features, shorts, and animation that are born here or hereabouts.
