I recommend getting 'out there' and doing what you love to do and doing it quite often. Last week I was cameraman on Rodney's film excursion and it was loads of fun. I cannot wait until the next shoot. I went to the Aurora Picture show on Saturday with Mike and Kerrick and we watched some found 16mm reel films. They were short public service announcement films from the 60's. One was about having the perfect lakeside bar-b-que in Maine and another was about syphillis. They were all so outdated they were hilarious. 30-somethings playing teens, prancing around a lake like spazmatic ballet school dropouts while waiting for their bar-b-que chicken to roast (and this was originally intended to be serious.)

I recently purchased a shortwave radio from an antique store in hopes of picking up transmissions from sattelite hillbilly healers. So far I have been unsuccessful but I will keep trying. I usually pick up radio shows from France and Japan. I love this lo-tech shortwave stuff. I wonder if anyone would be interested in broadcasting a pirate radio show one night. Usually pirate radio broadcasts do not last because the FCC is extremely well at pinpointing their locations. If you were doing this regularly, sooner or later your station would be raided, looted and shut down (a process that occurs at lightning speed- usually only taking minutes to loot and strip a pirate radio station bare.) Ah, yes and you would be arrested as well. With this danger factor involved I'm sure some thrill-seekers would love to do this.

I just bought 'Lost in Translation' on dvd so I will be watching that soon. I find myself in the studio more- painting and half-watching dvds. It took making the studio comfortable before I could stay out there for more than one hour. Now I love going out there and working for long stretches of time. My usual work session in the studio is about four hours now.
