massive update

first and foremost, hi! It's good to be back communicating once again through massive. Though my involvement on this board has been sparse this past month, lots of progress has been made by its members. The Narwallograms rocked the bay area and got real paid. Paul Sweet was able to sucessfully chill out some of the harsh vibes that were surrounding its upcoming shows. A new camera has been purchased by Senor Mikey Mills, with which he has been documenting EVERYTHING. He has made a much of short edits of the 'Trash Crew' mashing bikes all around town. He has captured all the amazing performances that occured at the Halloween Vulcan Space Party.
We have been talking extensivly about how to clean up things with our media:
Our beats at home need to be solidified, practiced, and then recorded well.
Our graphic identity and website(s) need to be developed in order to release our videos, short films, arkaos mashups, visual presentations, ect.
We need to add more of our own images and content to our VJ sets, not just things we rip from elsewhere. Me Mikey and Andreas agree that this will be the primary thing that gives our VJ sets meaning and message.

That being said, I am still in need of Flash CS3 and other adobe tools. Evan said he would upload the files to his firm's FTP or email me a DVD once he got his paycheck. Either is fine.

My cello phone is most certainly broken right now and I apologize to people who have been trying to connect up with me. I try to still check my voicemail daily and my email whenever I'm in front of a computer. I'm going to get a replacement phone sent to me this week.

One of the awesome hip hop artists who played at the Vulcan party, Forrest Day, contacted us about doing visuals for their gig on Friday, Nov 16 in Berkley. I emailed their bassist and told him we would do it. Rad.

I'm currently working on a story board for a mixed media cartoon I want to design/film with the rest of the Paul Sweet crew (and Andreas too). I'm going to need help scanning stuff into the computer, designing 2D characters by hand, filming sets, and I would like to compile it all out in flash and set it to music. I will get in touch with people about more of the specifics once I finish drawing out all the shots in the story board. MILK!
