Spring going on Summer update…
Well, the past two months have been CRAZY. About the middle of April, my wife and I made an offer on a rental property in Bloomington, Illinois. We closed the sale in the middle of May, and I spent 5 insane days doing some touch-up work around the house with the invaluable help of my brother. As soon as that was finished, the calls for work in audio wouldn’t let up. That was a good thing, since my income had been at a minimum since Christmas.
I was able to fill in with the Kyle XY sound department on a few occasions, and also got to spend a day with so me old friends on Eureka. I also spent an exhausting but entertaining week working at the Surrey Children’s’ Festival. I moved literally thousands of pounds of plywood during the set-up and teardown. During the festival, I did the sound for Red Sky Performance’s play “Raven Stole the Sun”, and for Celso Machado, an Afro-Brazilian musician who I really enjoyed.
We spent 5 days in southern Indiana, near Santa Clause to celebrate my aunt’s 70th birthday. It was an almost complete family reunion of my mother’s family, with only one uncle, and my sister who couldn’t make it. It was fantastic to see everybody. There was a lot of eating, and chatting, but we also were able to visit both the Marengo Cave and the Squire Boone Caverns.
I’ve also been continuing to work on my basement renovation in my “spare” time. Currently finishing off the electrical work in what will be the living room, and trying to figure out what to do with our forced air ductwork.
