Back into the swing
We visited Tom last night at camp with Once Was Lost. And what an eventful night it was. It was really nice to see everyone again and remember why we’re doing what we’re doing.
Jon and I hired some lights from Lots of Watts for not very much money. I felt extremely ‘techy’ driving across Sydney with lighting bars, parcans, trees, a lighting desk and a couple of mega cords.
Sadly other technical elements of our night were a little less successful. The DVD skipped and stopped in the middle of a live scene heading towards the climax of the show. Two ‘intervals’ and a change of DVD player later we managed to finish off the show. Thank God for exciting drumming at the end to lift our spirits!
I enjoyed dancing though and chatting to people afterwards. It was nice to do something practical and creative in the midst of lots of emails, phonecalls and paperwork.
We also brought the lights up overnight so they didn’t get stolen. They filled up our whole lift and our hallway. A little odd. But fun.
Took them back today and picked up a rowing machine that we bought on ebay.
Our first ebay purchase! It’s very exciting. We’re going to get fit in the comfort of our own home. Well…we think so anyway….maybe…we’ll see….
I also just bought credit on Skype and am attempting to call Helen on her mobile in Hong Kong. Seem to be having difficulty with sound…I’m sure we’ll work it out.
Seems to be the week of new technological experiences
