So my fellow readers, it is now a glorious 2010 and how are you doing? The new decade was ushered in with a traditional kiss which was silhouetted against a sky of fireworks and a horizon line of ocean. Champagne, dinner, groceries, and flurries; I watched as the world moved past me. People trying to shake off 2009 like a wet wool sweater.
I personally have been very thrilled with the past year. I saw my company double its business, I hired two new employees, I diversified my industry, and I networked like a pro. Looking ahead I am thrilled with the designs and positions I have secured for 2010. Going into the New Year I have already signed 8 gigs spanning musicals, rock, and opera.
I have also begun to dip my creative fingers into listening for new music. Over the past year I have been working on a professional connection to the music industry, and when I hear something I like I pass it on. Hopefully something strong can grow out of this relationship which could further my creative and design based process.
Closing up 2009 I invited one of my Grad School class mates to come up to Boston and work with me on the nutcracker. I had a really enjoyable experience and it was wonderful to see her again. We were able to catch up, share work stratagems, have harrowing driving experiences “thanks to me” and invent new cocktails for post work relaxation.
I have begun rock climbing, and all I can say is climbing a cliff is a lot different than climbing truss or a boom. My arms hurt so much, but thankfully my dignity is still secure as I am trying to take to the sport like a duck to water. I am thankful that Boston has so many rock wall options available to the public. It makes my new hobby accessible.
I have met a new interesting individual, a true neuroscientist, and I have been enjoying taking my time and getting to know this person. In the upcoming weeks I will mount Footloose, Spelling Bee, Barber of Seville, and RENT. There will also be a few rock gigs spattered amongst the shows.
I am really excited with the few months ahead, and will have to close this entry with that. I am finding myself pulled in many positive directions, and all of these forces are making it difficult to write at the moment. When I touch ground again I will get in contact with you.
As for tonight I am about to slap on my Aldo’s and rock over to the house of blues foundation room to do a mixer for Adam Ezra. Then I will be whisked off to his concert, and hopefully do a little networking. New York City is on the horizon, and I am looking forward to seeing all of my friends.
Peace Love and Jell-O
