It’s the second week of August and if you ride a bike it means one thing…Sturgis. For one week, a half a million riders turn Sturgis population 6000, into the greatest collection of bikes on the planet.

It’s not easy to keep up with an iPad DJ who’s juggling a career as a writer and technologist. With an IPAD in each hand, Rana June is mixing up a tech inspired blend of music and innovation. At SXSW this year, Big Fish chased Rana around to tell her story. It was a ton of fun
