Back from the Convention
I just stepped in a few hours ago from the Podcasting Convention in Ontario, CA … I took a few photos from it and will post those after I download them from the camera. I’ll try to get those posted by tomorrow.
The Expo was fun…I snagged Rufus to come along with me [since he's into electronic gadgets, computer software, and other forms of technology as well] and I think he enjoyed it too. Though the convention was geared more at podcasters rather than musicians, I still enjoyed myself.
I was happy to get to meet Chris AKA "C-Dogg"… who did a quickie interview with me for his weekly show. [I'll post more pictures from that tomorrow]
Chris was pimpin’ me to some of the other podcasters he knew there. Let me just say…how great it is to have someone saying something nice about you to others.
Back when I was in a band, I could easily pump up the group to other people and "sell it"….it’s much easier to say…"hey, check out the band I’m playing in, we rock"…etc… But now doing the whole "solo thing"…saying "hey check me out, I’m great" just does not seem to work. LOL
And so…the trick is, how to learn to do self-promotion without coming across as an ego-monster-maniac. I don’t think I do that great a job at it… but I try. And so…I’m ultra-thankful when someone else has some nice words to say… It’s a huge relief. I think anyone who does any sort of art knows what I’m talking about.
Oh…here’s a picture Val took last night. My hair grew back pretty fast eh? Just over a month ago, I was damn close to being bald.
Basically, I was just digging the new Racer X Jacket and wanted to have a few shots taken in it. I have a couple others I like but I’ll spare you all the jacket modeling session …this is enough to see what it looks like.
I STILL have not been able to find a pair of jeans I like for a reasonable amount. The jacket was cheaper than ANY pair of jeans I looked at. Sad.
Well… I’m really tired for some reason. It’s not as though I spent the day at Disney Land, but my body sort of has that same feeling like I’d been waiting in line for a ride. Weird.
Oh…back to the Portable Media Expo for a second… I walked away with a handful of business cards that I need to go through and add to my podcast feeds. This might take a few days to organize, but I look forward to checking these out.
More soon…

Now THAT is a cool shot! I am such an awesome photographer! I really rock! Great side lighting, with a very creative pose… and those catch lights in the eyes..wow!.. pure genius! (See! That’s how you self-promote without coming across as an ego-monster maniac!)
(of course, it’s pretty hard to take a bad shot with a $5,000 digital camera)
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH now THAT is funny.
sorry….I’m being hyper sensitive/paranoid ever since some asshole let me know that *it’s narcissistic to post photos of yourself* on your own journal. Makes me want to post a new picture DAILY
Great shot you took there…it was a toss up between this one and the other one pointing to the “5″ on my arm though
Whoever the idiot was that ragged on you for posting photos is probably so insecure and fucking butt ugly he dare not post photos of himself! Pretty obvious. Duh!
no biggie…it just bugs me when someone bitches about something I post…it’s not as though I FORCE anyone to read my blog…
i’m happy that some others enjoy reading but I keep the journal mostly for myself…and under my own real name(unlike the mongloid who made the comment)
You must be tired because my company is so draining
And. Yes. I did enjoy it! :grin::lol:
ha! not draining in the least..glad to have you along.
That little MP3 Cube looked pretty neat… I’ll email you the picture I took of you surrounded by the half naked women
Glad you had fun
cha cha cha chia
i feel like Charo from the Love Boat just posted on my blog….say it isn’t so? :razz::mrgreen:
ay coochee coochee
(gives you the look like the bartender Isiac would:) )
Don’t forget all of us little people when you get all incredibly famous & stuff.

NIIIIIIIIICE picture. You may be joining George Clooney in my fantasies now.
WOW…you just made my week…to put me in the same group as George Clooney! I’m far from a Clooney but i’m going to pretend otherwise until reality kicks in
hehehhe
thanks so much!
