EDIT:
I've applied to do my practice lessons for teacher training at the high school I dropped out of.
Once again Tuathal sets out to prove that he can bullshit his way through life successfully.
It's amazing how much of life is like that. And I don't mean it in a bad way. If you're willing to learn from your mistakes, just jumping in and doing it is often the best thing.
Speaking of, in a similar vein, I've been asked to help instruct this semester's TV production class in the use of the remote truck we use at the access station. This really isn't that much of a step up from when I took the class myself 3 semesters ago, and helped demonstrate the equipment because I was already paid staff on the truck at the time, but this time I get paid to be in class. (I'm taking another video class at the school right now as well).
Earlier tonight I filmed another show. A fun night that included a punk band from Germany, The Yoohoos, who are actually just vacationing in town because the guitarist's girlfriend lives here, and had to borrow instruments to do a handful of gigs around town. The big reason I'm blogging about it is because this is the first time I've gone head-to-head in the video dept with the local legend of show taping, a guy who's been doing it for years now.
I am really competitive when it comes to this, and quite sure of myself. Of course, my cockiness got quite a kick to the groin when I forgot to turn on the mic until halfway into the 2nd song of the first set!

Other than that, I feel I got a lot of good footage and I'm happy with how this new camera is working out. But since I AM so competitive, here's a side by side of recent clips taken at the same venue.

Tornado Rider - Bluff of Rough Stuff / Dinosaur (this is worth a look in any case because of the amplified rock cello carried around with a guitar strap)
