Good Times!

A group of us went to a minor league hockey game this past Saturday. The Texas Tornadoes. We started out the evening at Paulios, which is an awesome little place where they have freaking great pizza and pasta. So a group of us started out there having a great time amongst friends, then we headed over to the game. Ben and I with another friend were following Amy, who had two more in her car, and it was an experience! There was one point where we needed to do a U-Turn, we were stopped at a red light when Amy just went ahead and did a U-Turn at the red light and headed the other way…well, Ben and I did not know where we were going (hence the following Amy in the first place…) so Ben just followed suite. (What the heck was she thinking?) :)
Then we get to the park, and Bens truck was too big to fit in the upper section of the parking terrace, so we got good parking right on the ground level.
What an awesome time! I so love Hockey and it was a great game. It ended up going into double overtime which ended in a shootout. They even had a put up your dukes’ fight between two guys who needed to let off some steam. (There was an obvious height advantage to one of the guys, so it was not really fair, but it was still awesome!) So cool. I had a great time hanging out with friends, and watching people getting checked right and left!
Hope we can do it again. It is a very affordable sport to go to live! And one that I really like too.

Famous (not really)

So I had to do a Broadcast for work today, which consists of me creating the slide show, and writing the script (which this time was easy, because it was very similar to the broadcast that was done last year on the same topic, so I just copied most of it over into the new background).

So I also get to dress up in a suit, which now I work in a business casual environment, I don’t wear suits anymore. But I dug one out of my closet, and put it on. Needless to say, once I got to work, all my coworkers razzed me asking why I was all dressed up 

But I got down to the studio, and there are different ways that they do this, you either do it live and all the stores watch while you are doing it, or they tape with a teleprompter, or they tape with out a teleprompter, and you have to have the times where you are on camera mostly memorized. I got to do the taping with no teleprompter. I was a bit rushed on this one, so I did not have it memorized too well.

But I suppose I did alright. It is an odd experience taping, and it gives you a whole new respect for people who do it all the time. It is one thing to give a presentation in front of a room filled with people; it is entirely different to tape a presentation while staring at a camera with no audience reaction. While still having energy, and smile!

Well, one down, and I am working on the slides and script for one the end of the month, when that one is down, I should be done for the year!
