Still Doing Sound
So I’ve been working as the manager for the IT, Tech. Svcs., & Support department at Flashpoint Academy since last June. I started just as demolition had finished and we opened our doors in September. Needless to say, I’ve been busy with a variety of technical issues from building the network and server infrastructure in a little over two months, staffing my team, and managing technical issues relating to our Avid ISIS/Interplay systems or our adoption of the Red Camera on our latest film project. This is why people seldom see me and why I am so bad about blogging or responding to email.
Along with all of this, I sill get to do more than a bit of live sound work. I ran the live surround mix at our ribbon cutting event with Mayor Daley in the fall, and since then have slowly been putting together a small FOH system for our larger events. There’s even a picture of me during the setup for our latest event on our CEO, Howard Tullman’s blog:

I’m about three quarters of the way down the page, hunched at the Venice during line check. People always seem confused when I explain that I’m gaff taping strange things to the mic stands because I have seven open mics but don’t have a 1/3rd.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
