Inside out pancakes

Shorter vlog today.  Being productive as always.  Got to check out a little bit of the area around the theater.  We’re down the street from a US Air Force Base.

Awesome (but wet) Slide!

So tech is a necessary part of any stage production.  As a swing it’s a little boring because they use primarily the normal cast to set the lighting and sound.  My job gets a lot more exciting once it’s all set and I can successfully swing someone out for a show.

I will say today’s vlog is a little scatterbrained, but I’ll tell you it’s better than footage of me reading books off an iPad!  The show is making huge strides and I really wish I could show it to you.  Here’s to hoping for another tour (especially one in the US)

Authentic Japanese Spaghetti?

Today was the first full day of tech.  I want to apologize for you depressingly boring I become throughout today’s vlog.  Jet lag was finally starting to hit me and there wasn’t much for me to do today!  I do love my job and it’s awesome that I can do stuff like this for a living.

I will say that today was one of the first times I started getting real goosebumps.  It’s exciting to be putting together a new production.  And especially a new iteration of a show I always had a dream of being a part of.  This show is going to be very special and I’m very excited for where the show will go and where I’ll get to go along the way from it!

First (ever) Vlog Post for Blast! Series

Well, here goes talking to myself in public places and narrating my life.  For real though I thought it might be interesting for myself and viewers to have a snapshot of day to day goings on as a musician at Blast!  While I won’t be able to post any actual show content due to copyright laws I will be attempting to post any possible behind the scenes and adventures I may embark on in Japan.  While this series is specific to this tour I am exploring the idea of eventually making this into a regular percussion blog where I will discuss different aspects of being a musician.

I’m departing tomorrow morning (August 8) and will be in Japan until our short tour ends on September 12.  Pending wifi, expect posts from Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya.  If you can read Japanese check out the tour website here.
