Seeking a Piano Player.
Is anyone or does anyone know a piano player I could talk to about doing musical improv shows. I'm not talking whose-line "play the irish drinking song" stuff - I'm talking about doing fully improvised musicals along these lines.
Help us out peeps.
Thanks! |

| Mahoneyfest! |
[May. 8th, 2008|07:50 pm] |
I'm thinking of going to Mahoneyfest this year. It's next weekend so only 10 days! Truth is I'm a huge fan of a few of those indie artists and it's going to be the only chance I get to see them at the same time - especially since it's only in Atlanta!
Anyways, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) tenebrosity can't go because she's working so I'm throwing open an invite. Anyone else wanna go? It's $20 per day, $40 for the w/e I believe.
From the website:
The Mahoneyfest story: The name "Mahoneyfest" was a joke at first... but seemed to stick and appears to be here to stay. In 2006 I purchased a small farm in Box Springs GA. It consisted of several old barns, a turn of the century farm house, an old 1940’s general store. When I showed my father the pictures, he said "I would burn them down..." haha. Well,I didn’t burn them down... Instead i started to restore them (I always do the opposite of what my father suggests). I immediatly felt something special about the place.. it had warmth and the character of an old soul. I remember the night I first lit up the old general store. I wired in a generator to the breaker box and the lights came on in a slow warm glow. In the evenings after working on the farm house, I would sit in the old store and play my guitar. One evening, I thought about the importance of sharing this experience... at that moment Mahoneyfest was born. The Musicfest is based on the principal of remembering why we do what we do - To share ourselves, thoughts and philosophies with others... to listen to each other, and walk away with something new... whether that be a warm moment, an idea or a new found friendship. The musicfest is not divided between artists and spectators, they are intertwined. September of 2006 - we had our first event. We all had a great time. The musicians that came made the old soul smile. There were many great memories created that we now all share. I intend to host Mahoneyfest for as long as people will come and share this old farm with me. Thanks to all who have come and shared their art with us |

We need to meet up to go to the food auction.
Food auction starts at 6:30. It takes a while to get there due to traffic on 74. Getting back is Lightening fast.
I'd like to leave Charlotte as close to 5:30-5:45 as possible.
Can we meet at <lj user=bunnyboy>'s place at say 5:45 and leave together from then? My current understanding is one car, us two plus <lj user=tenebrosity>.
I must remember to empty the trunk of the car so we have somewhere to put our purchased spoils :-D |

| Harry Potter 0day |
[Jun. 18th, 2007|05:46 pm] |
Someone posted a "0day exploit" for the latest Harry Potter book.
It's a synopsis of the book.
I won't include the spoilers but will say:
"The attack strategy was the easiest one.
The usual milw0rm downloaded exploit delivered by email/click-on-the-link/open-browser/click-on-this-animated-icon/back-connect to some employee of Bloomsbury Publishing, the company that's behind the Harry crap." |

| Awards and Rent review. |
[Jan. 28th, 2007|10:41 pm] |
Firstly, I won an award at the Uwharrie Players banquet. "Favorite Character Performance" :-P Unfortunately I was unable to make it to the actual awards because I was working sound for Omnium Gatherum. Such is life, I win something and I miss my moment in the spotlight :-P
Rent Review Summary:
1) Disapointing, very low energy and weak.
2) Horrifically bad tech.

| MIDI building + Omnium |
[Jan. 27th, 2007|06:23 pm] |
The MIDI controller project is chugging along as planned. I wired up the LCD to it yesterday (16x2 Character and deep RED) and it gave me the required "READY". That "READY" comes from the programmed microcontroller so to see those five characters staring at me gives me a huge confidence injection that everything went to plan.
The second software load will go in tomorrow.
In other news Omnium Gatherum is still progressing well. We're selling out every Friday and Saturday night but still having issues filling Thursdays and Sundays. Everyone needs more friday and saturday nights it seems.
Photos of the yet-unnamed MIDI controller and Omnium from the booth behind the cut.

| First Filming... |
[Nov. 21st, 2006|12:38 pm] |
As many of you know I've started the process to become an accredited producer at our local public access station. After the process is complete I'll be able to put together and produce my own TV shows using their facilities to be shown on TWC channel 21.
The line-up is very Religious-heavy and some people down there are desperate to see some kind of balance. So, topless darts on ice anyone? ;-) (That was a UK tv program at one point in time).
So, last night I did my first stint of volunteer work of which you have to do five before you can qualify. I ran Camera 2 for the program "Spiritual Lifelines". The first impression I got was that it was REALLY hard work and relentless. It's probably the hardest I've had to concentrate in my life for 30 minutes straight.
You don't get any opportunity to actually listen to the program as its taping as you're taking instructions from the director as a conscious stream. Every so often you'll pick up a word or phrase or two. A few phrases peaked my interest:
"Observing Auras"
"Some people use other senses such as taste and touch to sense auras"
and lots of random comments about "Group Mind" and "Group Thought".
We had a brief and interesting discussion about religious dogma and their place in secular society and politics.
Good Times.
Tonight, I'll be operating one of the cameras for "Guns 'N Stuff" hosted by Dan Starks.
It's going to be a fun evening. |
