Humming Air Conditioners And Working

            Last week I mentioned that I had another Skype meting with the composer for last Monday. If you recalled I mentioned that I had my doubts that he would show up for our meeting. Low and be hold I was correct. Never showed up and didn’t email me until well after our meeting. According to him his girlfriend was being released from the hospital that day and he wanted to be there for her; which is fine but when someone is being released fro the hospital they and the person who is picking them up has at least a 12 hour notice. If you knew she was being released that day then why not send an email before the meeting to explain your situation. Needless to say I have no future plans on working with this composer in the near future. I understand situations come up, but to not send at least an email prior to a meeting twice is unacceptable.

          The rest of the week has been peachy. Working on the background/ambient sounds for Team Awesome, trying to make a closed off meeting room sound compelling without it sounding like an air conditioner rattling away. Had to take a break from it this week so I can complete the Foley for this short then if I have time to go back to the BG's to tweak it some more.

          This weekend I took a little break and went outside to enjoy the sun and grab some ginger beer at Pikes Market. It's kinda nice just to relax and do nothing for a weekend. Oh and I started to replay the first Walking Dead game from Telltail games. Just seeing the different options that I didn’t make the first time around. I also need to play The Wolf Among Us at some point as well.

          This week I plan on finishing the Foley for Team Awesome. I also have to have dinner with my man's mom. We haven’t spoken to each other since we blew up at one another on Facebook two years ago. In my defense I was defending my man from false accusations made by his older sister. So this dinner will be interesting, stay tuned to see if I live threw it.

See you on the other side

Long week of Socializing and Costumes

            I’m still recovering from all the festivities from last week and this past weekend.  So much to tell you about so let’s begin shall we…

             

            I returned back home on Tuesday with out my man’s knowledge and left the house before he returned home.  Now why did I leave the apartment before letting him know that I have returned?  Well I wanted to surprise him and I have a networking event that started before he got back.  The event was Show Your Shorts presented by Team Awesome and Leftjet Studios.  I ran into some old connections and a bunch of new ones.  It was a great little event where you can network and watch a bunch of short films as well.  The up side to all of this I might have a possible have some work coming my way because of this.  Meet a couple of directors who were interested in working with me on a couple of their projects… go me!  If you want to check out more info on Show Your Shorts click here: Show Your Shorts.

            When I returned home, I surprised my man who was sitting half naked on the couch playing video games.  I love him, he is so adorable.

            The next evening I went to my usual last Wednesday Film and music happy hour networking event.  I was a tad disappointed in the event due to it being more focused on music side for this month.  The guest speaker was a hip hop artist who was going to talk about how to expose yourself to more people via social media.  Their were so few people on the film side I left after talking to four people.  I will still attend this networking event but I think I might be more selective on when to go depending on the guest speaker for that event. 

           

            Thursday my man and I attended Carol Corps party thanks to our good friends at Comic Book Characters for Causes.  You can read more about my experience at the event and thought on it here: Bitchin’ Friday: How To Pull Off An Event

            Friday was me rushing to polish and finish my costume for Emerald City Comic Con for Saturday and Sunday.  I didn’t want to be rushing and running late due to me being under prepared and trying to put my costumes on.  Oh and during this I was rapidly sending emails to back and fourth to a couple of directors and producers.  Still fingers crossed on something magical happing to my career.

            Saturday was the big event: Comic Con!  Even though it was day 2 their were a ton of people and so many cosplayers running about.  I dressed up as Rock Star wonder Woman from Charles Holbert’s drawing.  Not many people took my picture but that’s ok, I was their to scope out items to buy for tomorrow and to hang out with my friends.  Here are a few picture of me in this costume:

            Sunday I went as Bombshell Wonder Woman created by the wonderful and talented Ant Lucia.  I was stopped often for pictures and was even called “sexy” by a stranger.  The two biggest highlight were being hailed down the hall by the sweetest cosplayer Apotheosis Cosplay to come take pictures with her in her steam punk Wonder Woman out fit.  We gushed over each others outfits and posed for several pictures. She is such a sweet lady and you should check out her website for more info about her: http://apotheosiscosplay.storenvy.com/

            The second biggest was meeting Ant Lucia in my costume.  I thought he might not like it but he got so excited he took a picture with me and his brother took a picture of me as well.  I’m a little sad that I don’t have a picture of me and him together but I did buy a couple of his art posters and now I just need to go hang them up on my wall somewhere.  I was so giddy you have no idea, check out more of his art on his web site here: Ant Lucia

           

            Over all the Con was great, got to meet a ton of my friends and hang out, spent a bit more than I would like but when in Rome.  Below are a few pictures that were taken of me in my cosplay.

             This week it is back to the grind of finding work and going to the dentist.  Oh what a dull life I lead.  See you bots on Friday for a rant possibly on the PS4 vs. Xbox One.
