week in new york

It's been a while since I've posted an entry, and I'm happy to finally have a new video to share (especially considering that my last entry wasn't the most cheerful).

This week's video documents my recent trip to New York City. I was in town for several meetings, rehearsals, a recording session, and a show with DJ Johnny Juice at Pace University. I was also lucky to be invited to appear on Rocketboom, one of my favorite online shows. Not only that, I was able to find a little time to catch up with good friends and family. All in all, it was a very exciting week!

Speaking of exciting, Inka and I will be performing at Playboy's "Rock the Rabbit" Spring Break Festival this coming weekend. I'll be taking my camera with me, so check for that video soon!

Also, I am thinking of playing a live concert online sometime soon with my guitarist Ken Belcher (most likely via ustream). As soon as I figure out all the technical aspects to make that happen, I'll be sure to post all the details. (If any of you have experience broadcasting live musical performances online, please send me an email or leave me a comment!)

Sorry that this entry is written so haphazardly. I'm in a rush to get several writing projects done before I leave town this weekend. Hopefully, I won't be as rushed next week! :)

I love how you make your videos. They're all so well done and smooth-like... You say you did it haphazardly, but it seems as if you spent a lot of time on it.

I like your voice in the background, and even how you end it with a little laugh.

I live in NY (specifically in Brooklyn =3), and I found it amazing how you managed to encounter all those different places with music (especially in the train) within a week. I love the view from the bridge from inside the trains, too. Anyhow, great video!

whats up comrad. that was quite a dope video of your trip. what model camera were you using by the way? it looked like you had a tripod aswell?

[pauldateh]

Thanks! I was just using my point-and-shoot Canon SD870IS. I didn't have room to bring a tripod with me on the plane, so I just placed it on whatever table or counter I could find. :)

[higgalot1919]

if you happen to note, your voice could be a radio announcer, so don't give up the violin,but keep in mind all of your unique talents...even in the airports ! great video.
