Tampa Bay 2008 Red Bull Flugtag

April 7th, 2009 | 1 Comment |

Despite my introduction to the beverage in 1995, I long resisted the pull of consuming vast quantities of Red Bull. Corporate world took notice of my abstinence and invited me to work at the 2008 Tampa Bay Red Bull Flugtag. Since that time I have ever increased my consumption.

Working on the production team for the TBRBF was lots of fun. So much so that I went back for the San Francisco Down Hill Derby later in the year. My role in Tampa was assistant to the audio guy. We ran cables placed mics, set up the wireless mics, and then during the event itself I was the guy talking to the director letting him know when the crafts had been removed from the water… you’d think that I’d have trouble messing that up wouldn’t you….

So have fun and if you get the chance head out to on e of the RB events… fun all around.. and lots of Red Bull too!

So there has been a frantic pace of apartment hunting with this Clinton Hill duplex the front runner: I am also tempted by high rise living.. something about a corner apartment on the 40 somethingith floor of a mid-town building..... So I'm furiously packing and trying to remember ...

Lost

Over the US Thanksgiving Day weekend I finally had the opportunity to catch up on Lost. I've made it through seasons 4 & 5 and am now working on season 1, with 2-3 to follow. Present Theories: Jacob is the father trying to raise his child. A loose parallel of Christian and Jack. The Island is a prison: Jacob and "friend" are in the prison. Jacob is a warden whos "powers" can escape the island. I've come up with a list of questions for which I'd like to find answers: How is Jin hopping thorough time in Season 4 with the other Island persons but ...

Saint Petersburg Sunrise

I finally made my way to Tampa Bay's water's edge to catch a sunrise. I liked it more than the sunsets... There felt more of an activity about at least with the birds and the dolphins. Pelicans and seagulls were swooping about and the dolphins were friskily feeding. Aside from a lone tug boat heading out to the Gulf of Mexico there was little human activity seen on the water. I had also forgotten how long it takes for the sun to cross the horizon once the eastern sky begins to lighten. I was ...
