well thats it for me.
sooooo im at the airport right now... which is taking forever, and my flight is delayed. but i dont care because i have the internet and nothing better to do. WOOT! i know i know i win!
anyways...
the tour. it was well worth my time to do something so outlandish for me and insane. i enjoyed the time that i was able to spend with all the kids/ peoples and the times that were shared. im sure i will forget most of what i learned but with hope i wont. i really hope that i remember all the acts and what happens in them and and and and ....oh so much to remember... ugg.
well with any hope it will all come to me after working a bit and boom there we go, right?
**two days later!!**
well i finally got my flight. it was only like a half hour late so things wern't bad at all. infact i was happy it was late because then i was able to use the internets! yay! talking with people to burn away the time and all that jazz. so the flights went quick and all was swell. got to the airport in redmond and rabbine, my roomie, picked me up and then we called it a night!
The next day we did some stuff around town. i was able to drive my car again now because it has insurace back on it... ohhh man was it weird to drive that thing! talk about a huge change!! my car is so little and everything in it is soooo small!! but the stereo is beautiful and the turning and the ohhh the everything! i love it!!
so the question that most people are asking is what is next what will i be doing next. well i cant even answer that question as of yet. all i can say is that i will be still working for the acrbats but i dont know when or where. but in the future there might be a move down to glendale.... but only time can tell that one right now... so father time... be nice to me please?

save the worst for last
well here it is. the best worst day of the entire tour.
the last day.
we started off the day at 6am this morning going to our first venue and it was pretty easy going for setup and for the shows.. i let steve do the show today because there was sooo much going on with the setlist. things were not in any friendly order at all...it was really lame. like damn.
so i was back stage for this one and i was ok wit hthat being that i wanted to be around the kids. you see today is the last day that i will be seeing about over half of these people. people that have turned into my family and friend over the last 3 months, they are leaving, going home.... no not to cali but to china. back to where they long to go. and the band that i got so close to... we they only come to usa like once a freaking year! so i will never see them again mostlikey!! totally lame. DO NOT WANT! lol
so the shows went great and everything was skippy. they packed the truck up with all their gear and luggage and then got on the bus. so i went over to the bus to say good bye to all my friends and got something i didn't expect to much. hugs. :0)
now from what steve says and from what i felt from the kids ealier on is that hugs aren't something that really happens in chinese culture... which is why im not chinese i figure.. haha.....
so for me to get hugs from these people felt really good! i feel really blessed for meeting these people that have helped me adapt to new changes and a new world. like my friends in japan they will never be forgotten but im sure i will forget a name or two.. heh.
so now the last day of the tour. the last show, the last supper with my family. now im all alone, in florida with 4 days to get back to cali.
begin the worst day of the tour. im depressed.

update from Florida
well here i am again.
To say it has been awhile would be an understatement, and i promise i have a little bit of news this time,.
soo lets start with were we left off last time.
new hampshire was a lot of good times, i got to call the show and had fun doing so, the group that we worked with was amazing this time. and the TD at the theatre, Quintin, was probbly one of the single coolest persons i have ever met! really nice guy, took care of all the issues and was so smart and expieranced on so many levels of theatre. someone who i could really learn a lot about, thats for sure. he has been working for the last 3 years or so on updating and beautfying his theatre. and i would have to say that he is doing an incredible job on it. (pics to come.....if you're lucky) the theatre is called The Music Hall and its about 2 hundred years old or so. so much history and so many strong good feelings in the place!
the day after we left Q was to have a meeting with the historical board to see if he could do some more fantastic things to the theatre making even better than it was before. that guy is a real saint in the world of lost theatre. i praise you mate.
next up was to go to lowell, Mass.....it must of been great....i dont remember it. haha no it was a good time. a college auditorium that had a really small dead hung grid.. we were able to put up the movers but that was about it... it was tragic.... there was one girl that steve and i really liked. good hugger as well! hehehe
steve was jealous. i laughed!
i learned something that night too, when steve says no bounce he doesn't mean no bounce. he means, "we are going to do the finale without closing the curtin" well thats just fine and dandy but he forgot to mention that part to me!!!!! and then when i closed the curtin he kept saying, "NO BOUNCE NO BOUNCE!!" which to me ment that we were done.....
it was lame and looked like crap because i had brought the house lights up and everything... twas totally lame.
ohhh and that night it was really cold. nothing some drinks cant remedy! heheheh
next on the list, Mahwah,NJ simple college venue, fun college kids to work with, good show over all, i will be returning there....
oh oh oh now i get to go to Albany,NY!!! yay.....
sooo the venue is called THE EGG!!!! yeah it really is and yes it kinda looks like an egg.... sorry i didn't get any pics of it...
soo the thing about this place is this. steve has been talking this place up the entire tour, saying that it is a pain in the butt, that it is strict union and that i will be handleing very little of what is to happen there. that i should used it as a learning experiance....
so when we get there i have it in my mind that they are all hard ass union workers and this isn't going to be very fun at all......
wrong.
the house is far from union. its a house like i like to run, a do what you have to do to get it done kind of house. everyone did everything. which was really helpful. the lead TD and light tech were old weathered guys that just knew to much of what they were doing so the entire thing went so smooth.
steve ran the show that night. i got to chill out back stage and smack a guy that was taking pictures with flash on.... fat bastard...lol jk jk
left there and stayed in the ghetto motel 6. checked in at 6pm.......our rooms still werent ready... freaking stupid.
finally got into our rooms at like 8pm or something. and a BUNCH of the rooms weren't done right at all... it was way sad.
i was happy everything i needed was there.
so the next place we were off to was henderson,NC
this was a college venue. with nothing to offer....but two decent spots from the 50s lol jk
its intresting how some places don't have a real address.... the college doen't exist on any maps or gps..... the college name shows up about 10 differnet places in the city when you look it up in google but trying to find the right address... hopeless.
so we had two days in henderson allowing us to load in one day and then do the show the next day. so because the place was sooo damn easy i told steve to just stay at the hotel and relax due to his already stressful day. so i get to do the load-in by myself and i have to say it was fun. but i really need to figure exactly what i want when i and forced to choose something to scratch or to choose between one thing and another. so its a bit of a long road to get all that down par. but the load in went well and the show went well also. kids show in the morning and then a late night show for the blue hairs. lol ....it was a blue room alright.
and here we are today. the day we traveled to FLORIDA!!! YAY!! WARM WEATHER!! WOOOOT
so we left henderson at 6 in the morning.... uuuggg way early..... and then we started driving.....and driving.....and driving.....and yeah i was able to wait at a gas station for like an hour when i needed gas but didn't have the damn card...ugg
bottom line. North carolina, pretty. south carolina,even prettier. Georgia, reallllyyy pretty and so nice to see! Florida, TROPICAL RAIN FOREST!!! hahaha this place is really pretty wonderful and muggy as hell.... but i dont mind it because i was in a great mood and and and i didn't have to wear my sweater at all today!!! except for right now... because im outside and it is 11:47 at night and im pretty sure its like 65 or something out here.. tis LOVELY!~
so we have two shows tomorrow and then some traveling and shows but my last show will be on the 24th... i think thats the day that yoko graduates!!! im so proud of her! she has done so much and gone so far... i really love that woman! <3
ok i know my posts suck, but its ok because you are only guests to reading what i want to write for myself to remember things by! HA!
peace and love from Florida!

so i have started taking over the shows and doing the main shows. the process is pretty simple but its the small stuff that can get ya. all the smaller cues and spots. still learning...
still thinking.
still driving.....
lol
i just hope i remember all this stuff next tour!! eewww....
its been kinda intresting as well while on this tour, i have been shoping for a place to move to... and i have been cursed. i look for places with the trees that i enjoy, the eneviroment that i love with the theatre support that i need.
but for the areas that have some of these atrabutes but totally lack to go the other way of others. but i do love them trees.... and really dont like the big citys.... though iowa was nice! minus the damn tickets.... stupid cops..
hermm i have to make a phone call now.. ttfn

o ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok soooo a super super duper good time in PA today. in the town of King Of Prussia, Pa. for the last 5 shows i have been calling the shows. granted it is only one full show and 4 kids shows, but it was still pretty cool to get to do the show and learn all the cues for the first time with no help from steve. but i am still learning a lot everytime i do the show. we will see how long it will take me before i and able to do the full show with all the fly cues, spots with colors, and a few of the other aspects of the show... yeah we'll see what happens for sure.. lol
so that was one of the very intresting things that happend to me while we are here in this damn cold winter wonder land. oh and yesterday the truck wouldn't start... that suckeeed. but it was alright because i was just going to go to the mall... all is better now. you can stop worrying dad.
lets seee......
places that i have been since the last update..... ummmmm lol i dont even remember.. i have been moving around so quick that i loose track everytime... hermm let me check......
ohh yeah thats right went to a house in Bethesda,MD it was an intresting place for sure.... do i remember it?... well no. lol let me think.... hold on....ahhhh yes the straphmore!!! a BEAUTIFUL theatre!! for sure! i even have pics of it, when i get a good enough connection that i can upload pics i will do so for all one of my readers, thank you hannah i love you and i hope that you sister gets better!!!
the hall is covered in all wood. the ENITRE place is in some form of a white ash or a pine or something like that. but that could be wrong because im from the WC and this is the EC... hermm i'll figure it out someday.
so from there we went to williamsport.MD this place was really nice for a change because we were able to do the full show, it had been a while since we have been able to do all the things in the show. when you have so many elements in a show and are on tour comprimise becomes a rutiune in life.
and then from williamsport we came here to the lovely town of Glenside, PA but we are staying in King Of Prussia, PA. never heard of it? well thats because its outside of philly and all that is here is a kick ass huge mall.
word.
peace and love my friends!

things are getting intresting
from maidson we have traveled to our lovely first casino on the tour the harras riverboat. now i didn't really know what to expect at all.. but i was expecting a lot larger of a space. not so much. this was a really small stage made for band and thats about it. lol
this was not a act that this venue was used to at all.
but the line up for stage hands and techs was out of this world full of talent. guys that have been touring all over the world with all the biggest acts ever. so coming into the venue i was a little unsure about the crew, they all seemed like angry union worker type cussing at everyting calling everyone names. so i acted on the defence side of things. turns out they ended up taking offence to it. at least thats what i found out later that night.
so the crew was pretty intresting to work with because of their knowledge and humor.... lets just say some of the things that i would say didn't really translate to the same meaning as what i had attended... more on that later.
the show was great, it was a little different this time, we had to do a hour and a half show, straight though. i guess thats pretty normal for casinos though. so we had to rearange the show a little bit and i was stuck in a corner with about a foot of space to call my own while i peaked my head out of a curtin just to see the stage. it was great. oh and they have an elevator in the back as well as the loading door, both of which needed to be used just to make the show happen!
it was a tight space..
oh so later after the show i was kinda invited to go to the local bar that all the techs go down to and i was giving a very very insightful talkin to from one of the techs that i worked with. and he assisted me in understanding what i needed to work on and things i could do to help myself advance in the bizz as well as just as a person working in the tech world. coming from bend there is very little that i knew of this world that i have entered. so i guess the tech ( mike) has talked to steve a little bit and so i asked mike a question, why of all the people that steve has met why did he hire me. his answer was simple. "talent, but you are rough around the edges" this has been the single most helpful thing said to me as of yet on this tour. i was also given the advice, i need to choose to be the nice fun pleasant guy, or the asshole pain in the neck but with a joking attitude.
i have a lot of building to do. and i have only a week to do it.
wish me luck.

right so i has been a good while since i have done an update but only due to the issue of having time to do one. while we have had a few days off here and there i still have things i need to do.. so.
i think i left off at before i left or got to colorado, well that place is totally awesome and reallly really pretty! i mean everything there is soooo lush! even the rocks!
the shows there went grand and met some really great people when we went to aspen. we played at a high school there and the TD was super awesome and we worked with some guys that have been in the business for a pretty good while. i dont think i took any pics of that house though i think i should have.. idk.
while i was there i DID get to use a kick ass fogger though. a liquid nitrogen fogger. massive amounts of fog. and quick! its interesting driving in colorado because the rules are a little different in how people want to drive.. as in like any state, but this was a little different, it felt different for soem reason... idk.
but the trip there and back was great no issues at all. then we were on our way down to texas. the most boring state to drive through... well at least the "panhandle" was pretty lame.. ewww.
i was supppper excited to get to dallas because of what was kinda waiting for me when i got there. this pretty little lady named chrissy!! hhehehe its a gal that i met online through stickam and totally chill to hang with online so i figured we should meet in dallas since she kinda lives there and all. so the night we cam in we were able to go and see the city lights with the mad man hawk! who rules at takin pics. we went all over the city then found ourselves at a Peruvian restaurant, and i have to say the food was awesome!~ soo om nom nom~
then we went back to the hotel and i bid her a fare be well since i was to see her at the show as well!
the hall we played at was insanely pretty! it is a symphony hall so the sound travels there like none other. like fur real! lol
see pics for its beauty and dallas.
next it was off to tulsa, OK...
yeah i dont remember much about tulsa at all.... lol.. guess it wasn't that good.
then was Ardmore, Ok. now this space was different. it was and old high school from like the 30s or something. and it was rundown and no good so some guy bought it up and started adding all sorts of stuff to it and made a pretty kickin place. well... if you like to kick things. lolzzz it was some guy from cali that jus bought all kinds of money so he just went and bought what everyone said was really good.... well thats a good thing and kinda a bad thing.... ya know?
well no matter we made it work and i got to play in the biggest make shift theatre ever.... and i loved it
oh i also got to do nearly all the loading and the work on the lock rail! which to me was pretty freaking cool. to bad it wasn't a newer rail.... *tear*
next came Ames,Iowa
but before we leave lets go and get some so tires put on the truck, what do ya say??
HOUSTON WE HAVE LANDED IN OKLAHOMA!!!! wow... this sure put me in the middle of a real hick tire shop.. lolz it was cool shit for sure.
so about $700 later i have new tires and hey the truck doesn't shake anymore...WOOT
get going again and heading to ames and i have to go into a weight station.....well thats easy right?
normally...YES. this time F&^K no! i get called in and then boom a full inspection!! lame shit. im already an hour behind i dont really need this crap..
another hour later i have 3 violations. yay.
on the road we get to our stopping point for the day and get a nights rest. but not before going to Red Lobster!! for my first time i went to red lobster and it was all kinds of yummy! but i dont know if i just make people want to know things about me but damn was our waitress interested in what i was doing there.... should of took her back to the hotel~! rofl jk
next morning we were able to go to the venue pretty early and the loading was way easy and i was even able to wash my clothes for free!! YAY.
well mostly. forgot to put one load in the dryer.. heh.... oops
lets see... what was next.... ummm idk... im drawing a blank.... i think we went to the hotel then the next morning was the quick drive to omaha, Ne. now it was a short drive but wouldn't you know it that my truck all of a sudden it wont go over 60 MPH!!!! soooo lame! arg was it stupid!
so we spent about 3 days in omaha, i was finally able to re-wash and dry my clothes, get some good eats, and just relax over all. which i really needed. oh oh oh we got to go to a chinese market too, so i was able to get all kinds of cool candy and drinks and such it was awesome.
so we got to hang out at the hotel and get our minds set for the next show. we played at a waay old theatre in the downtown area in omaha. not to much at all to say about that show really. the house was rather pretty... i think.. lol i cant even remember. it was only a week ago, but in this life, damn it was a week ago!! know what i mean?
ok from there was back to iowa to a iowa city... to a small ass stage in a high school....
the kids are bright, the stage is under equipped and it reminded me a lot of my high school.
we thought we had something great but in truth we were lacking sooo much. . the show went well but it was snowing outside... a lot... twas a big bummer to deal with..
oh ohoh i forgot to tell you that i got some new pants! YAY oh and dont get pulled over with any form of alcohol in your truck if you ever drive commercially... i got pulled over and inspected and i had 4 beers on me and they said that i couldn't drive for 24 hours after getting to iowa city... totally lame shit.
ok from the school i went to milwalkiee, Wi. it was super freaking awesome!! we played at the pabst theatre. which is the oldest theatre that we will play on this tour. it was built in the 1800's!!! and it was soo cool!!! hehehe
and then the green room area was soo relaxed, bean bags, and arcade games and foosball tables! it was soo cool! a deff awesome chill spot. oh oh and there was even an LP player! hehe
check out the pics for that venue.
then we were off to Madison after a midnight arrival to the hotel and waking up at 5 am.... eew.
lets see.. madison.... madison.... ohh right the place we just came from. totally wicked house. everything was like brand new, the worlds largest moving pipe organ, lots of movers, a moveable stage wall and all kinds of awesome stuff. the crew were all vets in the feild and really really friendly, and they had awesome nicknames. like my sound techs names the main tech was Beaker, even had the head shape... lol and his helpers name was fish. the main TD on deck was this super old guy that still get action at home. and its some funny shit. its great working with people that totally rock at their jobs and are fun to work with.

done with the NM lets go to Colorado
ok so the show last night went really rather well. the people were friendly and really nice to work with. the set-up was a little rough around the edges, but all ended well. things came together and man was it a mad rush... lol
i dont have to many pics of the place because it wasn't all to fantastic. it was a small hall on the university campus of Las Vegas, NM and well.. it was just swell......
the best thing about the place was the hands that they had helping us. they were pretty cool, all of them minus 2 were rather noobly... so there was a lot of teaching going on. but i enjoyed it. i like to teach people new things. what i dont like is when people think they know more than i do when i am the only person that is correct. but people figured it out and all was well. stupid people... lol im only kidding, some people just didn't understand a few things and then they learned.
side note.
one of the girls that i was working with was one of the most entertaining people i have met in a while. and we had so much in common to talk about and such. it was really pretty sweet to be able to just talk with someone that has the same intrestes in music, cartoons, gadgets, and all kinds of things. it was simply refreshing.
so this morning we left at 7am this morning and set on our way to Grand junction, Co. it was a decent trip. loonnnnggggg long trip though..... that wasn't so much fun... the check point this time wasn't all to bad either, the people were really nice and helped me understand even better about the log book. so i think im deff on my way now with that log.. oh the snow was really nice on the cayon thing was cool driving down 70. pics will come up tomorrow for sure. not enough time tonight.
ugg i have to sleep. night everyone.

i really dont like the rules in new mexico
soooo we came to new mexico yesterday and well... it was a 450 mile drive.. and let me be the first to say that it wasn't all to bad. beats the hell out of cali roads. which beat the hell out of you.... ugg
so leaving arizona made me think a little bit about how small the states really are. i mean from one side to the other arizona is only about 380 miles wide. i mean thats hardly anything right?....
ok so when we got out of AZ i was pretty happy. things were good and all was shinning(the sun). thheennn we got to the damn border check point. now for all you that haven't been to one where you actully have to like show your drivers log or anything of that nature... it sucks oh and you can get fined heavy if you dont have things in order....
well heres my little story.
so we pull into new mexico DOT check stop and i get up to the dudelyness and hand him my stuff (mind you these people assume that you have done this many times before and will always have it wating for them ) so i hand him everything that the last check point (in arizona) asked for. he looks at it and then asks for my log book..... i know im in trouble.... this isn't good... shit.
so i hand it to him and in an instant his face changes to discucst and just wasn't liking things the way he was seeing them. so he takes all my stuff and tells me to go inside. well i knew i had to go inside any ways because oddly you have to have a permit to cross new mexico.... yeah i dont get it either... anyways, i go in there with steve and we wait a few minutes fearing what is to come for us.. and how big of a fine it was going to be... things were NOT looking good.. so the guy opens the book and reads to me all the things i am doing wrong. well everything. everything is wrong in that damnbook all because i never got proper instruction on how to fill it out even after asking. grated i was showed a few thing but nothing all to amazing for sure.
so he looks at it, tells me i suck, and then says " violation of the law" im thinking nothing good is coming my way for sure. so hes pecking on the compy and inputing numbers that i can only assume are fines and then i start praying that the comp would fail and it wouldn't go though. just hoping that all of this would just go away.. more pecking, more numbers. more praying........ uug.. i hate this... then a shine of light come out, he says " i thought we fixed these computers" my eyes are bright with hope and i pray some more " bring their computers down!!!!" soon after he walks away in failure but with no words to say that we are off the hook. so fear is still in the blood of my veins... we go to the next window. we get our permit. we leave...... thank you god. damn that was close.
sorry for the run on. im good at those.
oh then we went to las vegas, NM and all was well. got the to the hotel in this small town. cute town though. and got to the hotel. super 8..... its realllly nice. beds are uber comfy.
then its lights out. long day tomorrow.
i'll tell you about the show today a little later. right now i have to sleep.

monday. 1/26/09
yay we get to go to arizona!!
not to bad of a drive. the country is so different from bend......DUH!!!
and the trees.... umm weird.. i think they were like some kind of juniper bush tree or something along those lines.... not to sure really.
the passage into the state was pretty intresting. the fact that i needed a permit was new to me as was the process of getting one.. yay..
the seat on the truck is proving to work really well. im pretty surprised that is it, but im happy about it. but for some strange reason the engine light is coming on and i haven't a clue as to why it is doing that... i mean it was just serviced... so i might have to check the vacume lines or soemthing... the worst part is that it doesn't stay on... it is really very random and hard to figure out when and why it is coming on.. so woot on that one..
but i have a few pics and stuff of it all.
oh and snow in Arizona sucks.

to the grand
alright so heres whats going down.
there was a pig, a horse, a bowl of cottage cheese and some orange juice......
ok nvm..
today we went to glendale. it was a pretty cool place. the theatre was like a story below ground so the load in was rather intresting and a little slower than i like..
but the house was really nice the stage was small... so it was hard to find places to put stuff!
buuutt the awesome part was the crew. they were sooo on the ball on everything in the house. things went soo smooth. of course at every show we have a little stess bomb and today wasnt any different. but the stress is just making sure things go really well, but all normally turns out well.
and this time, everything went so well., the cast did fantastic.
oh and i also got a new truck today. my first truck had some issues with the lights and the battery... it was lame. so the new truck is a little bit better this time. ok so its a llloooottt better. the only thing wrong with it was the seat not working.. but i McGiverd it to work. wooot!
but the ride is a little rough... it shakes a good deal... but i think i'll deal with it. mostly...
so after the show was over then we went back to the studio and got to celebrate the chinese new year! it was soo much fun! i was able to enjoy some new types of food and learned a few new traditions. heres some pics. oh and the cute little girls, well they are my sisters. they make me smile everyday!
thats all for today .catch ya tomorrow

the recap
ok so we are back online. i think.... i really hope... i will keep you all posted of a few things here and there..
currently i am back in pomona, Ca. we started our tour here on the 7th of this month and nearly 20 days later here we are again. and this is only the beginning. YES!!
so i have some pictures for you all and some details about things.
number 1) i must keep this blog on the DL. it has to be a small thing.
number 2) comment. please. its the only way that i can tell that people are reading and are intrested in what i am writing.
number 3) i wont be able to update it all to often at all. it will be a "when i can" kind of blog.
number 4) my new camera!
so here we go. im going to give you a quick recap of the last like...2 weeks.
so we have traveled from bend down to santa rosa. it was a 500 mile drive which took nearly 10 hours to drive. i have never in my life driven that long and by god it wasn't all to bad!! oh and got some sweet pics too. we played at the wells fargo center there and it was a really cool venue. the people there were really nice and super helpful. they did all they could to make it easy for us.
i had a rather large misshap with one of the lights but all turned out well in the end, thank
oh and the hotel that we stayed at was the nicest one i have ever have the privlage to stay in! and i even got my own room!! it had a king size bed, tile and marble, huge windows and everything was just soo awesome in it!! while we had some free time we found our way to a few pretty nice places. the first of which was the peanuts museum and gift shop.... a rather intresting place if you really like peanuts the comic... my boss loves it, well he love woodstock... dont ask.... the next place we found was the hotel bar. yummmmmmmmmmmmm
the shows went great. each time the show seems to change in one way or another... which is not soo good for us because we need it to be the same so we can actully light the damn thing.....
oh well.
next stop was San Rafeal.
ummm old school theatre really pretty very nice place... a lot of amatures. but great workers.
next up was chico. yes.. we went south just to drive back up north..... chico was a beautiful venue. its apart of a college and was just stunning! see pics.
the crew was wonderful again and there were two girls on at this venue that were just bunches of fun. and a few of the guys were so on the ball it was grand! always nice to have a venue of people close to my age that know whats up! we played 3 shows here and all went swimmingly.... though a VL started to act up.... *kicks the light* stupid thing....
next we went to arroyo grande, now this one is a little different... the venue is attached to a highschool. but doesn't belong to the high school.... it was built by a different group and is then gifted to the highschool. so it isn't a union house at all but the main guys there really know what they were doing. plus i got the chance to see people of my position when i was in high school just learning all this stuff......oh how things have changed for me! YAY~!
we stayed in pismo beach and well... it was wet. not to wet but wet none the less...
next stop was to santa barbara. not to far away just about 90 min from pismo beach where we were staying. got there just a little late but no matter all turned out well. the venue was amazing!! i think it was built in the 20's or something idk. but it was ooo pretty! and huge too! .
now comes the not so good part. some how one of our VLs went retarded, the hazor totally died, and two different items got cought on something when being flown out! this venue hated me! oh and i couldn't get a GPS signal at all to find some place to eat, and on top of all that i guess i forgot to put my card back into my camera so i took like 30 pics of this amazing place with NO memory card in my cam....... i was not to happy when i found that out.....
the crew was all union and was a total blast to work with! everyone was so much fun and when you have that much experiance in one house you will have a hard time not having fun... well as long as everyone is in a good mood.
and that night at like 11 pm we decided that we were going to lay the hammer down and drive for 2.5 hours to pomona where i am currently just so everyone would be nice and happy for a change..... oh and today. WE ARE HAPPY!!!! and tomorrow we are going to be REALLY REALLY happy!! hehehe because tomorrow is the chinese new year in american time! today was the new year for china, so they had a little dinner tonight but i think the big dinner will be happening tomorrow! YESS and i get to drink with the chinese... this should be a blast from the past. woot!
ok im done. hope you actully read it..... lol
untill next time. peace.
oh and i bought a new wireless mouse today... uber sexy!
