fun time

Last night was awesome, the lights I made worked perfectly and looked cool as hell; the projections by Lindsey Borgerson were cool as hell; Solid Gold sounded cool as hell.  It was a great production. The work is fun, the plexi-glass shredded hands suck, loading in sucks, doing my shit and doing it well is fun.   I did a whole new light rig for the Solid Gold show at First Ave. last night; and it was awesome.  I got to see some video of it off the cell phone of a drunk girl; I'm proud of how it all turned out.  The guys go bigger, I have to go bigger to catch up. Last night there was no catch up being played by me last night.  I was on point and it turned into a great show.  

I have distinct memories of some bands having amazing lights/projections; Nine Inch Nails, Massive Attack, Tool, The Dandy Warhols, Daft Punk.   Specific shows by those bands or specific moments in the visuals really stuck in my mind and inspired me to get into doing the shit I do.  Now that I'm getting pretty good and using more complex set-ups people seem to really like it.  Beyond making shit look good, I always hope that at some point in that show something I was part of will stick in someone's mind.

I love doing the lighting design thing and people are really digging it.  fun
