[PatBaer]

Holy fucking shit. Download music from the band Molotov, specificly the album "Donde Jurgaran Las Ninas?" Latin punk rock from the late 90s. SO GOOD!

My only other comment: if anyone can get me a bootleg copy of powerpoint, I'll owe you one.

And I always repay my debts.

Things I am officially giving up on!

1. The crush I've have for like 6 months. Guess you're not breaking up with that guy.

2. Trying to get a post of the day. Being "Just not clever enough" is tiring.

3. Sunday Night Ring. I can't keep giving my money away.

4. Mr. Wonderful Ruins Everything.... at least, the sketches. Some of the ideas will live on, as well as the monologues. I know now I just don't have the drive to write and put up a sketch show with a cast.

That's a lot to give up, I know. But I feel better already.

[PatBaer]

I'm currently working on a show where I know more about the subject than any of the performers. And I actually like the subject. This is not the first time. Hopefully this won't become some weird pattern. It's kind of frustrating. As a tech person I just want the show to go well. As a performer I want to be there, doing it too.

I guess what I'm saying is, cast me in your show..... especially if it involves anything nerdy or dorky or weird.

Besides the obvious joining of scenes, Eric Appel played music from the booth while Rob Riggle provided voice overs from the mic.

 

[PatBaer]

I hear from G4 tomorrow or Tuesday.

I might be moving to LA.

 

[PatBaer]

So in the past few days alot of the same problems have surfaced. I've done my best, but I know more needs to be done. This will be the first in probably a series of:

Pat Baer's Tech Tips and Tricks!

Today, we'll talk about using projected images/video for your show.

Everybody loves video these days. And recently, powerpoint and other slide show programs have been used to compliment shows. By all indication, 2004 will continue this trend. That's great, except things don't always go as planned.

START EARLY. Don't wait till two or three days before your show to test your laptop adapter. It's not just plug and play. You have to mess with your display options and no computer is exactly the same. Also, your adapter might not work at all.

HAVE OPTIONS. Can you make a video CD instead? Is your laptop the only one you have access to? Do you honestly need the projector for your show to work?

DON'T CALL ME. That's not to say don't ask me for help, but don't expect me to be able to fix your problem over the phone or via PMs. Most of these problems can only be solved by actually looking at the problem.

GET AN EXPERT. If you're using a mac, get a mac dude. If you're using a pc, get a pc dude. Talk to people who have used a system similar to yours before.

STAY CALM. Video and slides should be the gingerbread of the show, not the meat. You're the meat. Do it up!

 

[PatBaer]

Money made teching tonight: $20.

Money spent on a cab: $18.

Reason: You can't put 5 people in a cab, you son of a bitch.

Lesson: Don't wait around, otherwise you spend too much money while someone else gets to suck face.

As you may have noticed, I haven't updated this in a while. Life has become very busy, and I kinda got sick of the whole posting twice a week with just the music I played.

If you're interested in possibly seeing yourself: Check it out! I recently got a digital camera, and I've started taking pictures. They're still too large, and I'm not the best photographer, but it's a cool new thing for me to occupy myself with.

I'm still waiting to hear from FUSE about this video game review thing. My contact at G4/Tech TV moved back home to London and is working on Wired UK magazine. Supposidly some freelance work will come.

Oh yeah, tonight begins my week of shows!!! Yes, to celebrate my 24th Bday I'm performing in: School Night, Also Known As, Hump Night, the Chuck D and Jawnee Show, and Dirtiest Sketch.

What do you think about all this, Appel?

Oh.
