good morning everyone
today is just a continuation of my monthly internship which is getting to a close. But in the mean time i still have a lot of work to do so i can't be worrying about that. i've got much editing to do, which i am a little nervous about because i've said so much about how much i want to do this and that, i now it's finally happening and i hope i can stnad up to my own hype.
Now, what i've been seeing is a lot of the process of how they work an event. i've seen the begining where it starts off as just a phone call, then the negotiating of the venue, artists, price etc.... i've seen and been helping out to the drawing of the contracts. One step i haven't seen is the rehersing of the acts. But i've seen the making of the extravigant incredible costumes. I've had to help out with the set up of the events, not physically helping out with the setting up but, i'vemaking sure the artists are going to be there at the right place at the right time. That was a task i didn't like so much, i don't like being on the phone with strangers....i don't know why. but it's a skill i have to get accustomed with whether i like it or not. And then the final step, the actual event. Of which i have not yet seen, but i have seen pictures. I will very soon come to an event and be able to see the seting up of the venue and the show itself. Gregangelo and Velocity Circus are having an exhibition at the DeYoung museum in San Francisco on Friday 17th of August (2007). I've heard the bustling excitment among the artists as well as the costume designers, costume makers, the artists not even involved and of course the managers of the whole thing. Should be very exciting.
I'm actually going to film the event which, again, makes me nervous. as far as i know, i'm the only one filming this event, so it's all on me...exciting.
well anyway, till tomrrow.
actually tomrrow's my day of so till thursday.

hello everyone,
well, i haven't done this in quite a while. i've been really busy with a lot of data base work that i've been doing for the company. it's not the most interesting work to do but it is work that has to be done. that actually has been what i've been doing for the past week and a half. But for this week, my last week here at velocity, i'm going to be working a lot with film, i'm continuing with my life by working here and being in the san francisco film world. Progress is coming with that but coming slowly. i'm also filming tours that gregangelo gives of the house. really interesting stuff. i've been here 3 weeks already and i had no idea what the house was all about. it's much more than unconventional. It's almost unimaginable. Each room has a story and a theme to it. I liked seeing the reactions of the people looking at the rooms in the house and listening to gregangelo's explanation of it all. Every detail in this house has been thought of and thought through carefully so it makes sense to others. Speaking of the tours, i'm going to be doing another one today, it'll be nice to take me away from the work i normally do here, and do something more creative.
I actually should take this blog to a close, i've got a lot of work to do. i'll see you next time.
