90's Concert

I went to a concert with my current but soon to be former roommate Dave Cullen. The concert was at the way too popular 'Taste of Chicago'. Cracker opened up the show. The crowed was pretty huge but it all got crazy when Soul Asylum started breaking out the classics. It took me back and I was surprised at how many songs I knew. Dave sang along to everything and I knew about half of the songs. They were awesome and we started leaving when Cheap Trick and their pyrotechnics began. We would have stayed but I had a prior engagement.

The show was a dream for Dave. There was a point that I thought there may have been a tear in his eye. It was like I was the head of Make a Wish Foundation and that was Dave's final wish before he kicked the bucket.

Dave is still alive and Soul Asylum still lives strong in all our hearts. Summer was awesome here in Chicago but I will be gone in a week. The exclamation point of this whole day was that I had forgotten my ID at home. I found this out when I attempted to buy a beer. I forgot about it and we went to a bar and I ordered a beer again. I turned my wallet inside out trying to find something that said how old I was. And then I saw my Illinois State Fishing License. It was the only time I ever had to use it, but it worked.

Website Plug

Have you checked out that crazy awesome website? Pretty nice right? Well, it is constantly being updated so please check back. It's all set and running but keep looking back for new videos and writing samples and pictures. I have a bunch to put on I just need to get them transfered or in some cases I need to get access to films that other people have. I also have some motion graphics work that will be showing up very soon. It's a huge file so I'm trying to export it without killing the quality.

But if you like my website then you should get one of your own. It's oh so cheap and easy. The person who designed my site is Amanda Clifford. She kicks so much ass. She designed everything and worked with me so that I understood how it all worked. She's always on sets but she does websites on the side. Her website is on my links (www.pandavisionfilm.com). Check her stuff out. Just an FYI, she does like large bodies of water and tea. So if you wanna buy her a gift to get on her good side, there are some ideas. I went with the tea.

Websites are great for resumes and it's a awesome that people can see what's going on with me. If you care, that is. So, check back often and leave comments. I wanna know what you like and what you think is stupid. Everything helps. And if you have a site that you want me to link to then send me that thing!
