Going crazy is

This event is crazy in the fact that... it... never... ends. Yesterday was nonstop physical labor. We loaded in gear, lots of gear, tons of gear... tons of my gear... (I sort-a wish to sell everything and own nothing, but that is a different story). Today is a weird contrast to yesterday. All of our gear is in and working, so now my crew and I just sit here and make sure it keeps going. But this is no ordinary three hour rock show.... no this just keeps going... its the energizer bunny of gigs. Originally they booked me for 72 hours strait but when they found out we would be here a day early (to set up) they decided to tack on another twelve hours or so. So yeah.. these people are a little crazy. They are nice crazy people though and this event, (loco as the concept seems) is effectivly giving attendees freedom to experience it in whatever way feels right to the individual. They do have limits however. Apparently there is no "Naked worship" allowed. I was almost kicked out for that. I said I didn't want anything to come between me and God... but they had other ideas. I really need to get out of here for at least a few minutes! Enjoy the above mac book pro low-fi shots of me and my close friend Seth going stir-crazy in the green room.

The mini fridge IS!

Since this event is 72 hours strait I packed a mini fridge! The mini fridge is only an arms reach from my Sat audio mix station back stage! My awesome wife made sure I was stocked (and stoked) with plenty of great sustenance. Thanks Babe! You are the best of the best things in my life!

Remote blogging is!

I wish I could hang out with my family, skate and play music 24/7 but sleep is good and eating is good... Got to pay the bills! Life requires a house and food. :) I am just thankful that my day jobs (and night jobs) are along the lines of my passion(s) This week I am providing sound reinforcement, some back-line and audio mixing for live webcast and Satellite broadcast of an event that will go 72 hours with out break. Our client is a huge church in Colorado Springs. We have a lot of clients that are churches. I don't mind. They are often more polite than bar owners and the events are non-smoking. :) Here is a Mac book pic of me at the sat broadcast mix station. I am using two of my Roland VS-2480's for mixing. The 2480 is designed for recording but I like the the features for live mixing things like sat and web broadcast. I'll post some more pics of our gear and adventures later.
