We'll be airing it tomorrow (Friday the 7th) at 9pm EST and then a week from then, (the 14th) also at 9.

College of Santa Fe is in economic trouble...who isn't these days? In any case, they're working on it.
This video was made by a student, with various students and faculty speaking about what CSF means to them. It reminded me of what an amazing place it really was. I hope things work out... |

...No, really, this is a small room, if I need to talk, I really don't need a mic. But if you think I do? Fine, I'll grab a mic if I do, in fact, need to talk. Ugh. |

I don't know if any of you have heard, but Sugizo is going on a North American tour with Juno Reactor!
There are six US dates on the tour, and tickets are already on sale.
Spread the word guys! And definitely, if there's a show somewhere where you can go, you should be there! It's not an experience to miss!
For those of you who are up for helping to spread the words, join the street team!

I am an artist.
This isn't a conceit, like the Broadway producer who talked to our theatre management class claimed calling yourself an artist was.
There's a part of me that wishes I weren't. The sensible, logical, part of me wishes I would be happy at some desk job, far, far away from the entertainment industry. Somewhere safe. Where I'd make money, and be secure. Where I wouldn't be giving any REAL part of myself to my work. Just 9-5, go in, work, get paid, go home. It would be so simple. So easy.
But I can't, and I know I can't. Every time I think about doing that, it feels like a part of me is dead the part of me that makes me, well, me. You could call it my soul, my spirit...call it what you will, but I'm not alive without it.
I find art in many things, there's an art I never imagined to sitting in front of a sound board in a studio, an art to mixing that I never knew existed until I found myself in that chair, alone, mixing my own song for music tech. It's an art I'd love to explore more, if I knew how to do that.
I don't necessarily think I need to be creating work that's 100% my own, or even mostly my own. But there's a part of me, a very large part of me, that has to be involved, in some way, with art, with entertainment, and not just as a hobby. Because I know that if I try to make it a hobby, I'll either not actually do anything, or I'll get too into it, and forget the things I'm "supposed" to be doing.
I do know that the day I stop being an artist, is they day I'll be dead. At least, for all intents and purposes. Even if I still breathe and move around, I might as well be dead.
I am an artist.
Whether I like it or not. |

| Miyavi Concert Report 5/19 San Francisco, CA |
[May. 23rd, 2008|11:37 pm] |
I suppose that it's about time I post another concert report, after all, on Monday I saw Miyavi at Slim's in San Francisco. And, before I even start the concert report, I feel like I should say that it was, quite possibly, the best show I've ever been to. And I've been to a lot of shows, JRock or otherwise.
( Cut For Length....But read it anyway! ) |

...Kinda disappointing, I mean, I'm a designer. XDD That said though, it's HARD, and it partially depends on what color set it is that they're using. Cause it wouldn't take some of the colors I gave that I have markers/colored pencils/what have you that are called that. |

[Apr. 26th, 2008|01:15 am] |
Ok, it's kind of late, but under the cut is my concert report for Taste of Chaos.
( Taste of Chaos! )
So, all told, it was a really fun trip, I made some new friends, got to spend more time with some older ones, and got to see two amazing concerts. I had a lot of fun talking to people, even just talking to the general fans about JShock and JRR. And I'd totally do it again...though next time? I'm coming prepared with a clip board or something for them to write on. XD |

...Everyone should get on the iTunes music store and buy I.V. by X Japan. Now. I mean it.
It's only .99. And it's awesome. And it's X!
...And, as everyone knows, Heath Ledger died. And it sucks lots. ;-; |

This is a "Pay It Forward" meme type thing...
I will send a handmade gift of some sort to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my LJ requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don't know what that gift will be yet, but you will receive it within 365 days. The only thing you have to do in return is "pay it forward" by making a similar agreement on your blog.
And the gift you send to others can be whatever you want, it doesn't have to be something handmade. XD |

Ok, so, having gotten some sleep after finishing the seventh Harry Potter, and sitting in a Panera waiting for it to be time for me to go to work (I'd rather sit here than in the cottage), I am making a spoilerific Harry Potter post. Everything for now will be behind the cut, this will not be a comprehensive thing. XD I 'm going back to reread more slowly, and after that, I'll post something far more detailed and insightful, I'm sure. So, for the love of god, if you don't want to be spoiled. Do NOT click the link below!

| And Finally: My Week as a Rock Concert Refugee: aka JRock Revolution |
[Jun. 2nd, 2007|12:42 pm] |
I'm sitting in the LA Airport right now, at least while I start this, leaning on a pole because there's an outlet here, so I'm charging my laptop and my ipod for the flight. I'm totally freaking exhausted, I honestly haven't gotten a full night's sleep in about a week. I certainly haven't, you know, slept in a BED in a week. But hey, what can you do right?
The festival itself was freaking amazing, and I met some cool people in line, we actually had the five of us (Janessa, Cara, Carol, Sacha, and I) but our line group turned into a group of 11 because we acquired two other groups of cool people . Anyway! Details for the week will be behind the cuts, for those who may not want to read, or those who just want the basics: Concerts were amazing, the string of events we had to deal with surrounding them? Not so amazing. But the concerts made everything so worth it.
( Monday, May 21st )
( Tuesday, May 22nd )
( Wednesday, May 23rd )
( Thursday, May 24th )
( Friday, May 25th )
( Saturday, May 26th )
I desperately want God Band to tour the US. I desperately want ANY of the bands I saw to tour the US. It would be amazing. I would go.
Highlights, for those who didn't read, or who just want a quick over view:
1) Carol, Cara, Sacha, Janessa, and I are all officially Rock Concert Refugees. And we successfully spent a WEEK in LA without an actual hotel room. o_O;;;
2) Emily is amazing, and let us sleep in her living room a couple of nights, yay Emily!
3) I now have a new understanding of what it's like to be a hobo. Though they STILL don't listen when I tell them I have no money. Even when I don't.
4) LA gets really freaking cold at night.
5) Kagrra,'s music is beautiful I adore Isshi's voice.
6) Duel Jewel: Surprisingly fun live.
7) OMG MIYAVI! Also, he is now officially part of SKIN. Sugizo played, and it was amazing.
8) Apparently, one summons Yoshiki with a disco ball and the song Tears.
9) Rame is an amazing bassist.
10) Saga molests his bass. This makes me happy and uncomfortable all at once.
11) Western? A really dirty street.
12) When no one comes around to take presents for the bands, it is good policy to ask the security guards inside the theatre what to do with them. And sometimes they will send you strange places.
13) Gara is an acrobat, and has amazing breath support. And I love him.
14) Girugamesh is a spiritual experience.
15) D'espairsRay is amazing beyond words.
16) It IS possible to get so caught up in the music that you don't recognize Sugizo standing ten feet away from you. If that. Seriously.
19) MUCC's bassist can play stand up acoustic. This is quite cool.
20) You can, in fact, get a Super Shuttle at 1 am. It just costs a few dollars extra.
And that, my friends, was my week in LA. |
