4/15/10

I trust everyone filed taxes today. Now that we have that out of the way, Here’s a brief BAMM update.

We continue to mix and edit the audio and video from our incredible week at South by Southwest. It’s relatively easy to shoot footage, but the work comes in the post-production (as if we needed a reminder). Jerad and Sonia have been mixing the audio from the RV performances and interviews downstairs, while Jeff and Jamie have been editing the video footage upstairs. The footage looks and a sounds great. You can see a few of the videos on our main page. This may sound lofty, but searching through the bands playing SXSW has made it abundantly clear that there is tons of great--great--music out there by people we've never heard of. That's my warm and fuzzy for the day.

SXSW was such a large project that the preparations made the move into our new space fast and unceremonious. Now that we’ve had a chance to take a breath we’ve taken on the task of renovating the space. So far I estimate 12 gallons of paint, at least a dozen rollers, and we’re working on our fifth role of painter’s tape. The renovation has gone smoothly, despite Fernando's false claim that I lost the paint roller and a heated encounter with the manager from the hardware store. We have a contractor coming in to work on putting a lighting grid over the performance space and stage curtains are on the way. It feels good to do some manual labor. Here's a picture of where we are in the process. Call me crazy, but I think we should have gone with even more of a candy cane theme around the mezzanine.

More soon from various jackalopes at BAMM.
