So I went to the Flight of the Conchords concert...

...and I had a great time! It was easily one of the best concerts i've attended. They were funny, original and engaging. I know some people don't get their humor, but I get it! 

Here's a crappy video from their concert at the Berkeley Community Theater, on May 25th, 2009. I dare you not to laugh at this snippet.

Finally getting back on track

Today is the first day I've felt normal in over 2 weeks. Whatever flu/cold ailment I have is lingering a bit too long, but I will kick it dammit!

It felt great to finally get out and about! With such great weather in the Bay Area, we decided to head over to Ocean Beach -- more specifically Fort Funston. Jango gets a big run and I get to move around outdoors and have a small workout. Here's a little of what it looked like:



It really feels good to be a part of the land of the living again.

Live Scam School from SXSW

I haven't edited an episode in a while, but luckily I had time to put this one together.  Not lucky in the way that I had SO MANY technical issues, but in the way that I think it's an awesome episode.

This was the big 4 camera shoot I had been tweeting about. Brian is a amazing in this set. Enjoy!

The Idol Times - Grand Ole Opry week

Sorry to bore those of you who could care less about this show, but once a week I really need some ear candy. I thought I could keep up with my predictions, but obviously I've done a horrible job since the first week. So here's a short review of each contestant and prediction:

It's Grand 'Ole Opry week which is not one of my favorites, but it tends to bring out the best and worst of singers. How funny was Randy Travis with Adam?

Danny - there's a lot of hate for this guy in the blog world (from those that actually watch the show) and I just don't get it. Check Dial Idol and guess who’s number 1? Yup it's Danny. Wasn’t his best night, but if you don’t like him, too bad. He’s not going anywhere and that’s the way it should be. When he got to the chorus, it was amazing (and I don't even like the song he sang).

ANOOP! So happy to see he’s back. I thought he was the best of the night. Loved, Loved, loved him! Way to just do it.

Matt - Woo hoo! Man I love this guy. I thought his performance was really nice.

Lil - bad song. I too wish that she had done I Will Always Love You. I still love her though.

Adam - Meh. Not my thing. I love the original version and I while I love the fact that he is unique, some of those falsetto notes were horrid. I don’t care if he’s over the top, I just care if he sings well. Tonight was not it.

Megan - great song choice for her. But honestly, sick or not sick, I CANNOT STAND HER PHRASING. Blech.

Alison - Great performance, but will people remember her?

Michael Sarver - the only one who really sang country tonight. I don’t like that song, but he served the genre well.

Chris Allen - this is the first time I really enjoyed his vocals. Great job!

Alexis - ugh. Poor thing. I did not like this interpretation. Did Brooke do this last year? I seem to remember liking Jolene last year and on paper you'd think this was a great choice for Alexis. What happened? I like her and I hope she doesn’t go anywhere.

Scott - I didn’t like his song choice. He’s an awesome pianist, but I just haven’t connected with him. He's kind of boring to me, but I want him to make the tour.

Going home: Alexis or Allison - although I'm thinking this could be the week the judges use the "save" option.

My personal faves: Danny, Anoop and Matt (in no particular order)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
