Now that I've been off the ABW tour for a bit, you and I can finally catch up and chat for a while. (lucky you) The tour ended last week but I hopped off 2 weeks prior as my work was finished and I was needed elsewhere. I had a great time on it and word on the street is it was a big success. I left out of VA and was pretty stoked to be heading home. I've flown in and out of this airport before but for some reason never took in the architecture of this place. Not sure how one could overlook such a graceful building style.
So being home for awhile has been good. I've settled in nicely only to be dragged right back out again. AOL in NYC is using our control platform and called for an impromptu training session. Guess who gets the pleasure of doing that. It wasn't so bad though, they flew me out and put me up in some swanky hotel in the east village. Remember a while back I was telling you that every time I stay in the city I always get stuck with a room that has a concrete wall view, not the case this time. Apparently every room in this establishment has no such thing.
Certainly made waking up a lot easier. The training went alright, some minor hardware issues but nothing life threatening. Pretty cool place to conduct a training I'd say.
I finished up and had the rest of Fri evening to hell raise before heading home
I don't think I've mentioned it yet but somehow Martin decided to promote me to a new position. A position, might I add that was solely created for me. Something they call Product Support Coordinator, not really sure what it means but I guess I coordinate shit now. I'm pretty jazzed about it, its an opportunity to be in front of the right people as well as walk through some doors that have never been opened for me before, figuratively speaking of course. It also calls for more...
A lot more!
A perfect example as to what I'll be doing a lot of. Just the other week, the band Crowed House was in town. Their designer is using one of our latest moving heads, their actually field testing them for us. I had to go down to the venue and upload some fixture software as well as make sure the fixtures were performing to satisfaction. The guys invited me to stay, make sure all goes well and to check out the show. Figured I'd see what the Australians had to offer.
Other than that, all is going pretty well. D and I hit up Interpol at the Fillmore last night, good stuff! Ran into my good friend Ivan which is always a pleasure, can always count on him being present at a good indie rock show
Not the same without you Carlos D!
Looks like I'll be home for a bit, hopefully, that should give me some time to work on a few personal projects.
Until next time!
