Max is in town as a surprise for Diane’s birthday.. YEAH !

OK.. as promised.. catching up on some pictures here !

First.. Friday nights Mike Gordon concert at House of Blues in Boston was excellent. I went with my friends and partners in crime.. Colin and John who worked with me on the EEL (Aka BIG).. along with Homer who did the mechanicals. .. the crazy touch sensitive keyboard for Mike Gordon’s band..

 

 

The band was in their 18th show in a cross country tour. They sounded great and fresh. The music was fantastic.. and the ‘look’ of the stage that Mike was after using simple Moire patterns and cool lighting effect really, really worked. It was so great seeing his ideas made real and working so beautifully .. You can read about it in Wired here

 

Here are greg, rachel and liggy workign light and sound

 

love those Moire light boxes.. so simple and so cool

 

the wireless DMX light up bass and guitar where the hit of the effects in my opinion.. so beautiful

 

I was there to see the EEL.. it had taken us way to long to build.. but it looked good and worked great..

It was so great seeing folks enjoy the show.. and enjoy the lights.. it was great closure on a long , hard project

 

 

i got to my folks around 2:30 AM and hung out with my mom for a while. .then slept about 3 hours.. too much on my mind

next day.. i drove Colin to concord.. and drove straight home to pick up diane  in time for the Generator opening ..

That was amazing too !

we made it there about 5.. and it was packed !. More than 850 people came for the opening !
