Well, I always wanted one of these . . .

I love that this is the first posting on a blog that is not going to be seen by anyone for quite a while . . . I'm sure once I have a consistant internet connection, I'll be able to join other people's blogs and develop something out of this, but until then . . . JOURNAL IT IS!!

Alright . . . real quick . . . I'm leaving on a plane in 5 1/2 hours to go to Washington, D.C. This is the first time I've actually been sent somewhere on a business trip. This will be very cool, and I'm very much looking forward to it. I'm working for Sprungdancefloors.com this weekend, and I'm meeting with both owners, one I know VERY well, and the other I've met once before. Basically, I talked to Cam, the one I know, and he told me about his company . . . I took it upon myself to investigate further and quickly realized that there is a nice amount of money to be made doing this . . . and the BEAUTIFUL thing about it is . . . if I can get in on this and start helping everyone make more money . . . I can afford to direct more often, and basically where ever I want . . . this is my goal as of now . . .

The CD's I'm taking on this trip are as follows:
2 Mountain Goats CD's
Green Day
N.E.R.D
Jeff Beck
3 Mix CD's
2 Dispatch
Jeff Buckley
The Gray Albumn
New Faint
Widespread Panic
and some other ones . . . I don't remember, and they are packed . . .

The books I'm taking are:
The Empty Space - Peter Brook
Film Making at Used Car Prices - Can't Remember
Some book about the trials of Lenny Bruce . . .
Through a Glass Onion - Jason Stuart

The last is the show I'm directing right now . . .

I'm also taking a whole bunch of bid proposals for various jobs all over North America that need dancefloors sometime in the next 3 years. That and a whole bunch of blank paper.

I get to DC at 10:45, (I have a transfer in North Carolina, so hopefully my bag will make it with me . . . ) then I hope in a rental car and drive to Petersburg? VA . . . I hope that's right . . . I've got the mapquest directions in my folder . . . eh, whatever, that's what cell phones are for right??
Then I'll drive back to DC Saturday night, spent the night drinking and whatnot with my best friend Michael Urie who is doing a show at the Folger Theatre in DC (check out his BADASS review here) then I will see the show Sunday and fly home just in time to miss the entire Superbowl . . . eh . . . I like football and all, but this is WELL worth it . . . Go Pats.

I am, however, missing my room mate's birthday . . . Clay turns 24 tomorrow, so if you know him, remember Feb. 4th . . . He's going to Bob Schnieder/Deathray Davies on Saturday in celebration . . . I'm envious, but again, this trip will be greatness.

Alright . . . enough . . .

My right now is:

"Leaving on a jet plane, don't know if I'll come back again"
