Where Did That Come From?

There really isn't too much to say about tonight, except that the concert was a total surprise! It was a band called Deadmou5 (pronounced dead mouse) that I quickly looked up on youtube before I left for work this afternoon. From what I could tell, it was some sort of techno, and when the stage rotated to reveal the concert, that's exactly what it was. One man, wearing a mouse's head with x's taped on the eyes (so it's dead, naturally) behind a big DJ stand. For an hour, he played techno dance music that I thought was alright, nothing out of this world, and the audience LOVED it! I was shocked! They were dancing and moshing and other activities associated with rave-type dances like I had never seen in any other show! And we've had some big names...

The most exciting news of the night: I ran the camera on stage tonight for the pre-show and concert! What I was filming was seen on the big screens! It was exciting, but also more tiring than I expected. I enjoy camera, but I think I prefer a camera on sticks to handheld. I'm just not built to wear a big camera on my shoulder for long periods of time. But if I can prove myself with a handheld camera, anything is possible! Right? :)

Anyway, it's late so I'd better head off to bed. The plan is to venture to Vancouver tomorrow!

  1. thats a really bizzare name for a band! thats so cool that you are getting to do more with the production etc. that must be neat to hear what u learned in class going on in real life.
