We just spent the week prepping all the gear and signage for the Mercedes Championships – the actual setup starts in mid-December…

Just four of us and one guy from DCI – piece of cake…

You know, I’ve had so many shows that I’m not allowed to talk about this year that I’ve barely had any postings for shows…

Sorry guys, it’s just the world we live in nowadays…

When I can write about them, I will, ok?

The Slack Key Fest was great by the way – I had a blast and everything went smoothly…

I got to do a setup at the Grand Wailea today and my boys were there!!!

I haven’t worked with Doug or Greg in a long time (since around September 11th, 2001) – so it was cool to have the team back for a day. It was really cool how we all just slipped back into it and got it all done – just like old times…

It was a totally easy video setup, and Greg and I jumped on the audio setup (to help Kevin out) after – easy day…

Did this show last night and will do another one tonight. Just running Audio and Lights – very simple gig. He’s a living legend as far as local comedians go, so it’s a real pleasure to work with him and his guys…

Been setting up for Earth,Wind, and Fire too. Setup started yesturday, and I went right into show mode for Frank DeLima after – today looks to be the same…

Got a 1-off (set, show, strike) here tomorrow as well (with Earth, Wind, and Fire) – so it’ll be a long day…

The day after I got back to Maui, I did a Scottish thing in the MCCoy (here at the MACC). Fiddle and a Chello – it was one of the best shows I’ve ever mixed. Lottsa fun too! Talent always makes us techs look (in this case “sound”) real good, ya know?

Did the Wells Fargo Corporate show at Ft. DeRussey. Ran handheld camera for the run. Larry May was our Director, and Donner was the other handheld guy – I learned more about the intricacies of operating live-handheld-camera working with these two the last few weeks than I had the last 20 years.

Anyway, I’d gladly work with either of them anytime (and anywhere)…

I’m now gonna start slowly dropping all but my Video and Technical Director skills…

Sorry it’s been so long since I wrote, or put up any “News”…

Finally figured out the issue with my computer, it was the RAM. Had to take it to the Apple Store in Honolulu to figure that one out – but since its been pulled the problems have all disappeared…

It’s always a pleasure to work with the talent I’ve been working with the last few weeks; to get to know them, and to learn from them; it was great to work on the beach this time of year; it’s fantastic to have my computer working good as new – but there’s no place like home. It’s great to be home on Maui…
