Tuesday...

The morning started out with ripping CDs and accounting. Thank you Michael & Judy for the help!

Then met with Jesse & Mylissa to begin putting the works on their May 11th ceremony & wedding at Mercury Hall. Welcome onboard! They also told me about a place in Fredericksburg called Boot Ranch that looks like a nice wedding venue. I want to go and play golf there! Golf Digest voted it one of America's Best New Courses in 2007. It looks beautiful.

After that, a quick jaunt to mix The Dad Show from 6-7 pm and then off to Dillard's for some new pantalones. Very exciting.

Tonight, reading a few tech and photog blogs and trying to wrap it up so I can sleep.

Big Weekend

Austin Bridal Secrets continues to grow and bring me great joy. I did some voicework today with Hemma Jani. She is from London and is new in town and she did a great intro and outro for the show which will be in the next episode.
One of the challenges with the show I see has been to keep interviewing people and not ask the same questions. I got a book on The Art of The Interview this week from Amazon that is going to help me improve. I have an interview in the morning with photographer Eric Hegwer that I am excited about. We worked together a few weeks ago and had a good time together, so I expect more of the same. The launch party for Austin Bridal Secrets (see flier in this post) will be held on Sunday, May 4th from 6-10 PM at Casa Chapala. All past and future clients are invited to come enjoy some great Latin music, food and fun.

I met with Debbie today to put the final touches on her wedding which is Friday. On Saturday, I will be doing Tara & Rick's wedding at San Michele in Buda. My band Vida Deluxe will play on Sunday on Sunday morning at Unity and then I plan to take the rest of the day off. It will be a full weekend.

Big congratulations to Holly & Todd and also Elizabeth & Jesse who both signed on this week for their wedding receptions.

Van Halen

I'm up way too late tonight, listening to Van Halen for the last few hours and enjoying sounds I have not heard much in quite a few years. All the stuff from the first four albums mostly with David Lee Roth. Great stuff!!!

Working on learning more about Photoshop and having some fun seeing what I can do with some of the digital images I have taken over the last 5 years.

Also, cleaning up the database online so I can get ready to send out invites to the Austin Bridal Secrets salsa launch party coming up in May.

Saturday night I played at Courtyard Marriot on 4th street for the first time. Played 5 hours! After dinner, the dancefloor was full almost the whole time until 11:30. Congrats to Alan and Tracy!

Got to see Culture perform this weekend twice. Saturday night at Flamingo and Sunday night at ARF. Kenyatta Hill is filling his father's shoes quite well I must say! He is such a dynamic performer. We were all impressed with the rebirth of Culture.

All fun and exciting stuff!

Now I must sleep... on the air in 8 hours.

Great Wedding Ceremony Music

If you are looking for something classical, yet different and modern, check out The Vitamin String Quartet. They do classical covers of a lot of different rock and pop songs which Tara & Rick and I are using for their reception on the 26th. Great stuff!
