Music Music http://glendarae.blogdrive.com/archive/22.html Sat, 05 Aug 2006 17:17:23 GMT We spent our last two days in NY visiting the top of Rockefeller Center, wandering into the Village Vanguard to catch some jazz, and one more visit to Arthur's Tavern, just cause we liked that place. Our plane back to Seattle was scheduled for 6PM on Friday, so we just packed up the rental and drove around Jersey City and Newark, ending up in neighbourhoods we really have no business being in...ah well, a little fright is good for the ticker.... I have many impressions of the city (NYC), virtually all of them positive. There are many unattractive components,and you have to be...

These boots have covered alot of ground. We went to the MET and spend most of the day there in various states of inspiration and awe. We stayed until they kicked us out and only managed to see half of the exibits available there. I have rarely had the opportunity to enjoy specific sights or landmarks though I have visited seven or so countries of the world. I decided before we left Vancouver, this journey would be different. I didn't know that commitment would take such a toll on my feet. One great side effect is weight...

We had two gigs so far - tearing it up at night and walking our feet off during the day. There's so much to take in...The sights seem both bigger than life and surprisingly approachable. Yesterday, we went to "Penn Station", passed by the fashion district and "Time Square". The Manhattan mall was so familiar as if it could have been Metrotown. The air is hot and very muggy. There are venders shouting on the streets, selling purses, portraits, watches, water for cheap. As I write this, Miles is working on three new...

Miles and I finally find a sound company that will rent us a PA for a reasonable price... A production company called PCA in North Bergen, NJ. Pat is absolutely great, and a total pro. His credits include The Byrnes Sisters, Jimmy Buffett, Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy location shoots, and countless others. I know this guy is going to valuable to us in the years to come...we hit it off immediately. After picking up the gear from his shop Miles and I head back to the motel to pick up Rene and Glenda...then head to Hillsdale in the afternoon,...

Miles, Rene, and I are in the motel room...eating burger king. Now it's Friday morning. Miles and I are off to rent a PA.... Things are EXPENSIVE here. I sure miss Long & McQuade! Will get Glenda on the blog a little later... Tony http://glendarae.blogdrive.com/comments?id=17 http://glendarae.blogdrive.com/archive/16.html Wed, 26 Jul 2006 21:02:37 GMT Well it’s one day of insanity before our adventure to NY. As is usual, I’m running around trying to do things that can only be done at the last minute…taking care of arrangements for my dog, preparing food for the person house/dog sitting, and digging my way through a mountain of laundry after a flood in the basement has made washing very inconvenient. This will be the first trip I’ve taken in a while. It is a working vacation, but I plan to enjoy every minute. No time like now to start enjoying the little and big things in life. This is the life. As I submit...

Hit the border with our P2 approvals in the morning, and hope that goes effortlessly, then drive to SeaTac to catch the flight to Newark. We'll be pretty bushed by the time we get to the hotel in New Jersey, then our 1st night at the Cornerstone in Hillsdale. We'll be posting pics here and at our myspace site, and this blog will be replicated there as well. Stay tuned, and we'll bring you as much as we can about the adventure every day! Talk to you...

The concert in San Diego was well recieved and intially well attended...by that I mean the crowd started to really thin at the two hour mark...as the band contended, the program was far too long. (3 hours). Time for the organizers to fine tune this thing! We did get some video footage...as soon as our Tulsa people edit it, we'll make it available at glendarae.com. We (Glenda, Miles, Brett, Rene) and I went to Old Town San Diego for my birthday last night...I easily went to painless state, courtesy of these monstrous margaritas they...
