The Roaches have penetrated the circled semis and almost killed Tracy. Lamont puts the finishing touches on one of the last remaining Roaches.

Blast from the past!

This video served a couple of purposes. I was able to dub an old project called “Fear of Failure” that only existed on VHS onto a mini-DV tape and then captured into a hard drive. This last remaining copy was shot in Super-8, telecined to Umatic, edited on Umatic, dubbed to Umatic, then dubbed to VHS. You’ll have to believe me when I tell you that original one-hour edit looked great!

It also gave me a chance to keep my editing chops from getting too rusty.

daddy’s girl is in jeopardy!

The feeling you get when your work inspires other artists raises a little bit of chicken skin — that’s goose bumps for those of you who haven’t lived or visited Hawaii.

Ikaika Tecson, Shinya Yarimizo, Dennis Ouchi, Chris Roth, Jason Gaye, Lady Paisley with guest artists So (on flute) and Seph1 on vocals sitting in, elevated DOG to another level. Thanks for KILLING it on the evening of January 17!

Ikaika wrote a number of sketches. His “Roaches,” was amazing. Ikaika then sprung for the after-gig sushi meal. What a guy! A huge, “Thank you!”

Jason Gaye on sax wailed all night. He and Lady Paisley both wrote songs about Tracy. Some hauntingly melodic and lyrical stuff…

Video (with sound) will posted after I get back to Tokyo and edit.
