On the road: NFL football, MSNBC @ the GOP Convention, Big Ten Football... - August 29, 2008
This September is turning out to be a very busy one with a variety of jobs all peppered throughout the month.
Last night I was in Green Bay, WI running low end zone camera for an NFL pre-season game.
Today I'm in St. Paul, MN getting ready to spend the next week working as a Techincal Director for MSNBC at the GOP Convention. Should be very exciting considering the week they had at the Democratic Convention in Denver.
After that it's back to Madison, WI for college football for the Big Ten Network.
Other events coming this month include producing and directing video for the Forward Music Festival, producing a 5th anniversary Special for the Madison Area Music Awards, TD'ing a corporate meeting for Epic Systems in Madison, Directing the main stage at the Austin City Limits Festival.
Squeeze in some quality family time and my own projects and it makes for a full schedule.
Stay tuned!

Lolla Down, College Football and Austin City Limits on the horizon! - August 7, 2008
I'm recovering from a bad bug I picked up while working Lollapalooza in Chicago last weekend. Not sure if it was because I was in an air conditioned truck for 72 hours or if it was the sketchy catering.
Either way I'm glad it's almost over.
In the meantime the weekend went very well. It was my third time directing Rage Against the Machine since their reunion and Coachella last year and like the two previous shows this one was unique and special in it's own way.
I'm sure everyone had heard about the crowd issues, but little has been said about how amazing the band was.
"Stunning" is the way I'd sum up their show at Lollapalooza 2008.
All RATM shows have such a unique power and resonance with the band and their audience, which is something you don't experience at many concerts.
There's nothing like seeing a band that goes full out for 90 min giving no quarter to themselves or the crowd.
As a director shows like this are very special, and incredibly fun to direct because of the unknowns involved. You never know what's going to happen, you just know it's going to be HUGE in terms of energy and passion.
That's the way it should be.
So next up the college sports season, working for BTN, ESPN, etc...then it's on to Austin for ACL Fest 2008 at the end of September.
Can't wait.
Be well
Ken
