I Need PAs, Can You Help Me Internet?
UPDATE: I’ve received many offers, thank you everyone. I’m still processing them at this point so I haven’t responded yet I’ll be in touch soon. It’s likely I’m covered for now. Thank you internet!
Turns out there’s a lot of work involved in shooting a concert DVD. I’m looking for a few helpers for this San Fransicso thing – PA’s they call them, which apparently stands for Production Assistant. You know: sandwich getter.
I need one person for the day before the show, two the day of, and one the day after (that’s Thursday, Friday and Saturday). I can’t pay you anything, but I can get you a free ticket if you don’t already have one, or perhaps one for a friend if you do. You’ll of course receive credit, and probably some other free stuff, and my gratitude forever and ever.
If you’ve had experience doing this sort of thing that’s a definite plus, but mostly I’m looking for people who are available (like, all day, for a long time) and willing to run around and do all sorts of things when we realize we forgot something at the last minute.
Email me if you’re interested.
The 404
The show where it’s actually kind of difficult to google the name of the show and actually find the show’s website instead of a bunch of pages about error 404.
Yesterday morning I went into the CNET offices and cracked wise with the kind and gentlemanly fellows of The 404 podcast. It was a little touch and go, I arrived literally as they were broadcasting the show opening because…I was late and stuff. But they seemed not to have wet their pants, so we had a nice time talking about SMS messages, AppleTV and Portal. Thanks doods!
It’s a Major Award
It has not escaped my attention (for very long anyway) that our very own Molly the Ukeist, who is also called Sweetafton23, has won the Uke Hunt Ukulele Video of the Year for 2007 for her cover of Tom Cruise Crazy. Totally boss! It deserves a repost here because it is pretty great, but instead I’m going to make you watch this original song that she wrote. Congrats Molly…
Two Things of Note
First, I’m delighted to learn that GLaDOS has found her way into an xkcd comic today. Another honor I can cross of my list.
Second, I played this party last night to celebrate the opening of a new NYC office for Oasis, the very excellent company who manufactures my CDs. I played a set, and got to enjoy some great performances by Jen Chapin, Sean Altman, and Kenny White. But the best part was when Tom Brislin from the band Spiraling came up and introduced himself to me – I’m a big fan, and I’m afraid I geeked out just a little. He also gave me a super secret advanced copy of their new CD which I am devouring right now instead a bacon egg and cheese sandwich (it’s twice as delicious).
I’m hoping to get some recording done this afternoon, so check back if you’d like to watch. UPDATE: Having some technical problems with ustream – may not happen today. Stupid internet.
