so it rained for a bunch during the last week, and when the rains went away our indian summer ended (fingers crossed) and beautiful cold crisp fall weather settled in. thank goodness for that, but on the downside, the leak in my roof from last year that my landlord supposedly fixed has returned. seems like they simply but up a new layer of plaster - hopefully they actually fix the leak this year because my wall looks like its melting, moldy and probably detrimental to my health.
strictly funk's fall show a brave new funk was this past weekend. i had helped my boy jason finish the video on time and was also asked to take photographs during their saturday matinee show (photos here). tannis came back all the way from paris!! she, cricket and i grabbed a quick dinner and cocktails at pod between the two shows. quite a few alumni showed up (greg, haley, hilary, tami, anna, shosh, anthony, eric, ryan) and a good chunk of mask&wig boys were there too. the thought of re-auditioning for funk has crossed my mind, but a lot more consideration will be going into that before anything happens.
after the saturday night show, i headed down to old city for ben & tiffany's halloween party. i didn't dress up of course (i don't do halloween), but most everyone else was and it was a good time. nice and low-key which was fantastic and exactly what i hoped it would be. i headed back to west philly around 1.30a and made an appearance at the funk party for a few min before heading home and crashing. somehow though, i had managed to contract food poisoning (it wasn't alcohol because i really didn't drink anything after my cocktails at pod much earlier in the night) and got really sick later that night so sunday was spent in bed recuperating.
today i got to meet jerry tessendorf who is the principal graphics scientist at rhythm&hues. we chatted about the studio for a bit and then i attended his talk on the bamf effect (used in xmen2) and how that evolved into some of the particle, voxel grid and fluid effects (used in superman returns, happy feet, etc). good times.
