Happy 2 year birthday Blog!!
Yip it's been here for 2 years now. Wow, I didn't think it'd make it this long.
The slackness in my bogging meh, ahh well, at least when I write I have something to talk about.
The last 2 weeks have rocked!! I was asked by my Instructor to work the Junos!! Now I'm not a fan of the music award show genre, but to work it, that's another story. The experience was amazing.
My first day I worked for Live @ 5. I covered the free concert down at the park. I got to meet Bruce Frisco and I worked his camera. I also got to meet a lot of the camera guys and director of Live @ 5, so great times and great contacts on day 1. Day 2 I spent on the red carpet all day. I got to hook up the "mobile" to the plasma screen on the carpet and I also got me a red carpet pass which came into play a few days later. That day I got to meet a lot of the head players at CTV that work in Toronto, great guys, and they liked me... So bonus.
Next 2 days I worked for Live @ 5 again at a bar downtown Halifax called Cheers. There I got to do Audio for Susan Aglukark who did a performance for the show and I got to meet Barney Bental and Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo. They were all wicked nice guys and girls, I also got to work with Bruce Frisco again and Star Dobson, who I have to say were amazing and wonderfully nice. All the guys who I was privileged to work with were great people. They answered all my questions and were just nice all around. It was a fantastic experience.
After the last day of work was well Sunday the night of the Junos... So me and a couple of the guys took our red carpet passes and walked into the Junos... We got backstage, went to the dressing rooms, and walked down to the stage area where only media could enter or the people who paid 150 for a ticket could enter. I got to see all the bands up close and personal. I got a high five from Chris Martin of Cold play and a hand grab from that Taboo guy from Black Eye Peas. Greatest thing about the experience.... Not only did I get in for free... I was paid to be there.... Life is good.
So that was my junos caper. I had a great time and met great people and make a good impression. The executive producer has my contact information and was impressed with me and said he is going to call me for some work during the summer... So IM pumped.
I only have 2 weeks left of school and then I go home for work term. SO much to do. I'm starting to freak out, LOL. But it's all good.
CBC here I come.... wo0t!
