A Day At Work….

Posted on March 25, 2010 by insider53

We took a family outing this past weekend and on the way stopped off at one of the schools where ’73 teaches. He teaches Pro Tools and sound editing. Frankly the number of things to remember on a mixing board boggles the mind. Below are a few pictures of his classroom. ’80 and Mike along with K take their turn at dreaming.

Les Miserable At The Almond Blossom Festival….

Posted on March 14, 2010 by insider53

It was the Almond Blossom Festival this weekend in my town. My granddaughter K and some of the other cast kids performed a little of Les Miserable to promote the play. They will be performing the play this June through The Desert Opera Theater. It is looking very good even if the stage at the park isn’t. Thankfully they will be performing it at the Chimbole’ Theater and not in the park, whew!

Foto Friday: Down The Rabbit Hole…

Posted on March 5, 2010 by insider53

Well I went to the midnight show of “Alice in Wonderland” The movie was a lush 3D look at Tim Burton’s take on the story of Alice and it was very good. I imagine if you could peer into Mr. Burton’s mind it would be a little like falling down the rabbit hole in this movie. But more interesting than the film was the fans in line, die-hard Alice fans. I took a few photos with my phone so you can see what I mean. I have been to many midnight shows over the years and it is always a remarkable experience. I think I am getting to old for this though because I am so tired this morning and my body aches in all the wrong places. A few questions before I go. What is wrong with beach balls? Why do movie ushers hate them so much? Is it really necessary to do violence to the poor ball? Isn’t confiscating it enough? A moment of silence for the poor beach balls, destroyed, popped and mutilated before their time. Awwww!!!










K waiting in line and plugged into her ipod as always











Friends of ’88’s











K and her Alice grin. She has been waiting 2 years for this movie and was so excited to be at the midnight show.
