It's been a long time since my last post - sorry about that. This whole thing with working three jobs (web designer, liquor store clerk, disc jockey) has me going in different directions. All the while, I've been helping people get a house ready for sale, straightening up my apartment, and studying more music for some upcoming wedding receptions and a family reunion. I also assisted in a wedding reception Saturday night with a friend from WILY Radio at Purdue University, where I am an alum. It's time for a break...sort of.
Next week, I will be near Orlando, Florida, where my parents have a timeshare rental at a condo for a week. I'll be taking the boyfriend along, too, for a 16-hour drive over 2 days, each way. The plan is to relax (of course) and to be inspired. We'll be visiting Disney's Pleasure Island at least once. I've never been. In fact, it's been years since I've been to a club other than a campus bar. (There really aren't clubs on Purdue's campus, just larger bars with dance floors.) Hopefully, I'll have something to bring back as far as lighting and sound ideas are concerned. I will be thinking about what sort of lighting is used for each theme; how each component comes together to produce the desired effect. I will also be noting how sound is used effectively - we have a handle on this for the business, but you never know, we could something to make it better.
So, in reality, this is not just a vacation. I really am taking time off for professional development. Yeah, that's it! I'll share what I learn when I return to Indiana. In the meantime, enjoy the fireworks!!
