I'm Ed Hunsinger, a 28-year-old East Coast native who now calls San Francisco home.
I can't remember using a cell phone that wasn't a Sidekick and I've been a Sidekick user and part of the online community for years.
I'm responsible for multiple Sidekick-fan websites and you may also know me as "divinity" on the poweredbydanger.com forums.
When I'm not sitting in front of the computer, I'm probably out playing with fire as part of Interpretive Arson, a Bay Area based group of fire artists. I'm a seasoned traveler who loves new places, music, photography, and desert camping.
Favorite Sidekick? The Midnight Blue LX.

Wow, so I thought New York was going to be the best show of the tour, but it turns out that L.A. gave it some pretty good competition. I had originally not planned on going to this show, but was able to make it at the last minute and I’m glad I did.
After checking into the Hollywood Roosevelt, I headed down Hollywood Ave to get to the Avalon. I had seen the parking lot of my hotel filled with shiny new Audis, Escalades, and a Ferrari or two and knew something had to be going on. As soon as I turned the corner and saw the Chinese Theatre, I realized that I was smack in the middle of a red carpet event. I can only assume it was for a movie premiere or something and everyone was standing around yelling at celebrities and trying to get pictures. Someone even gave me a starry eyed look and mumbled a star-struck “hello” at me! I think he mistook me for one of those famous people or something.
I walked down Hollywood until I got to Vine and saw the T-Mobile Sidekick bus. I flashed my All Access pass and just hopped over the ropes and walked inside where I finally met fellow blogger Dave in person. He was a cool guy and was looking forward to a show with a little bit less country.
Right away we headed back to the dressing room to meet Sean Kingston. He’s a lot taller than I expected. We chatted, took photos, and then headed back out to score some free snacks and drinks before Sean came on stage. I think Dave was planning on eating his weight in those little snacks before the night was over.
Sean came out and put on a good show. I’ll be honest, I had never heard him before, but he had me tapping along with his beats. He played several of his hits, including “Beautiful Girl” which I dug, and “There’s Nothing”. The crowd really enjoyed him, and I had fun watching all the hands waving in the air from the VIP section. The place was packed with people having fun. Sean Kingston was great and even gave a shout out to his mother who was in the crowd. But when Seal came on, we were blown away. More on that later…
