This happened lastnight and was the second one I did – the last one was last month…

This was a fun show for me simply because there were so many ques that I had no time to do anything else but know what they were and do them…

I couldn’t tell you what this thing was about or who did it. I was the A1 and the LD for this show. We did one walk-through rehearsal, so I could get the sound right and adjust the lighting for each act…

And then we did the show…

There were 42 lighting cues and 38 audio cues for an hour show – and only one operator – so it was fun…

Got to A1 Baldwins Choir (5th) and Lahaina Luna’s Choir/Band (6th)…

Same `ole, same `ole – just another day in paradise…

Tell you what though – I finally got to just sit down and play with the new system by myself. Killer – no other word can describe it…

See…?

The never ending day I was talking about yesterday – never ends. I got off the Doobie Brother thing (at the MACC) at 01:00, drove home, took a shower, took a nap, and got here (the Grand Wailea) for this show about an hour ago (06:30).

Yesterday was our dark day for this show (which allowed me the opportunity to do the MACC show). This show is actually for the Estes Park Institute which loaded in on the 24th and will load out tomorrow after the last session…

I’m basically just the “break out guy”, and working directly for Rob Neuhauser of Neuhauser Audio Video. There’s between 4 and 6 break out rooms at any given time. I just have to make sure that the projectors, computers, and audio is working well for the beginning of each session – then hang out at “home base” so everyone knows where I am if they need me…

Got a site for you to check out – rivkin.net. He has some good stuff as far as marketing and communication goes. He’s one of the key guys here (sitting next to me actually), and he knows his stuff…

Very nice production team, and the band is very cool as well. I
forgot these guys were here just a few months ago (when it gets busy
in this business, one year just seems like one long day). My days
have been blended together now since September. Sorry I haven’t been
keeping you guys up2date on the latest…

Makes me happy to have this up again…

I’m doing the Doobie Brothers for a corporate conference tomorrow, so I really wouldn’t have had the time to mess with it for another day. Today was the only time I really had and it got done! WordPress is really a great program guys!

Kind of a cool thing on the side. Last week I did two shows for Jose Feliciano, followed on the third day by Stevie Nix, and now I have the Doobie Brothers tomorrow. Kind of a cool trend floating the Maui way right now – hope it keeps up. Come to think of it, I worked a Michael McDonald show at the Ritz Kapalua last month…

Only thing that bites is that they were all corporate shows – so the public didn’t even know they were happening. Most of the shows I’ve done this year have been corporate…

The only public shows I’ve done so far this year were:
The Mercedes-Benz Championship in Kapalua
The Shanghai Circus at the MACC
Henry Kapono at the MACC
Barefoot Natives at the MACC
Keali`i Reichel at the MACC
Anti-Gravity at the MACC

Other than the six above, I can’t think of any “For Public” event that I’ve done this year (yet) worth mentioning. But it’s only the first two months of 2007, it will all pan out…
