Nichole fever

I must be full of dumb luck. Why do I say that? I seem to run into dumb luck more than often. Tonight, I decided at the last minute that I was going to go to the Nichole Nordeman concert here in Denver. Tickets were $14 at the door and I was gonna give my last spare change to go. Well, I get to the door to buy the tickets when one of the vendors tells me there’s an extra ticket for me. I ask how much I owe and they said nothing. Say what?! I just happen to show up at the right time and get a free ticket!! What kind of dumb luck is that?!

The whole night I stood by the mixer and talked to the engineer. He travels with her tour so he’s very familiar with what happens during the night. I didn’t realize that every venue they perform they rent the equipment they use. They don’t have their own equipment that they carry to each place because their needs always change. Makes plenty of sense.

Andrew Peterson was the opening act and he did a really great job. I highly suggest you check him out because he was awesome.

In not as good news, I found out I only have 2 weeks until the studios close for the semester. This highly concerns me because I haven’t even seriously begun mixing the tracks yet and I have 12 songs to mix. I just hope everything works out.

sick

Well, I’ve been ignoring it for a few days, possibly the last week. But I think I’m officially sick. Sniffling and blowing my nose as though it were a faucet. I don’t feel too bad, just sick of blowing my nose.

This weekend I went to Dallas on Friday night and back to Houston on Saturday. The weekend wasn’t all that great but it’s okay for one reason. On Friday night, the whole computer giveaway should have been called Geeks Over Texas because it was about 700 or more geeks in one room waiting to win the biggest and bestest computer stuff. I didn’t win anything as expected. So on Sunday as I was on my way home, I was driving down Central Expressway and heard about Nichole Nordeman signing CDs at the Family Christian Bookstore. So I rushed over there and was the last one to get her CDs signed!! And, there’s a good chance she’ll remember me because she’s from Colorado Springs. It made my Saturday.

I didn’t get much sleep yesterday but went to lunch with Russell Martin. He’s got some great ideas for music recording and I might get him up to Colorado at some point. Pretty cool stuff. So after seeing Lord of the Rings with Russell, I came back home and we rented Final Destination. Not too much of a day.

Christmas in two days!

where does time go?

I was watching Saturday Night Live tonight when I started thinking about a thought I had about 3 weeks ago. It was the night of November 16th and I saw that a new episode of SNL wasn’t appearing again until December 7th. I remember thinking how it was 3 weeks… such a long time but it’d be here before I knew. And now it’s gone. I thought about that thought tonight and realized how quickly it passed. I couldn’t believe it.

In fact, I remember on one specific occasion in 1989 thinking that the year 1995 would be here in no time. Over the next 6 years, I remembered thinking that thought knowing it was gonna be sooner and sooner. I couldn’t believe that 1995 came so fast but it wasn’t as fast as 2002 has arrived in the past few years.

Now it’s been 7 years since 1995 and I can’t believe it’s been 23 years that I’ve been alive. I can vividly remember thinking little childish thoughts like the one I just described because I did a lot of that kind of thing. I could sit here right now and think to myself “Gosh, 2007 is over 4 years away” but it isn’t as significant as my thought that 1995 was a few years away from 1989.

Does this make sense? It does to me.

So I download a few songs from Kazaa tonight from Nichole Nordeman. I hadn’t really listened to her before but she’s amazing. I can’t believe how good she is in her compositions. I might ask a friend of mine at UCF to perform the song “Every Season” next semester because it’s an awesome song musically. Who knows, maybe before then.
