Tomorrow morning I have a date with a different rehab. This is getting interesting. I am not really minding it. I am a very social person so it is in a way what I enjoy. I am sure it will get old after a while but I still really dont mind doing it.
I waiting to get off work so that I can go to bicycle rehab. It is my favorite of my rehabs.

well off to my date with rehab. I am excited to check this out. I would rather be doing something else but wtf.
Monday I am going to fishing rehab. At least I know I can bring home some dinner from that one.

well well well, this has been an exciting weekend. I took a 1/2 day off at work to document Lara getting her hair chopped off for Locks of Love. We spent the afternoon listening to the rain.

I met up with my sister later that night and had some fun talking to her. I had some DV taking of me for an art group from Tuscan. I got home around 3am and woke up early to go on a ride on Sat. Lara and I did a 20 mile ride in the pouring rain. We then went to a messenger bbq on the westbank. We took the ferry over at 2 and got back at 4:30. It was fun but I know it was going to get ugly later. It takes a certain personality to choose to be a NOLA bike messenger and that personality is extreme. I went home and worked till about 1 am then went and had coctail with Lara after she got off work.
We woke up on Sunday morning and went a longer bike ride. We made up a new route which took us through City Park, the lakefront, then back through City Park to Canal then we went through the downtown to get home. It was wonderfull. I went and did some work for bike gang and now I am at home working for Turbo Squid. Ahhhhhhh.

Well, I am working on several projects at the moment. Friday night bikegang.org will go up live. I am working on some photos for the project with Jonah. I am also working on some pic sets for this blog. I am preparing for Siggraph and preparing to teach a class at Oregon 3D. I also learning a new software that I am not allowed to talk about. I am also trying to keep up with my cycling and trying to mantain my new groove. More to come.

After a long work week I am back in NOLA. I flew in on Friday and went to the North Shore to prepare for Tour de Louisiana. I woke up early on Sat. to warm up for the TT and to test out my bike since it was completely rebuilt. I had a solid TT. It was not nearly as fast as I wanted but I felt good on the bike and I didnt blow up. I pushed myself hard but I did not go overboard. I then went and made soem tweeks to my bike and drove up to Husser to do the Road Race. It was probably the worst group of guys I have ever raced with. They were all over the road and did not show a bit of race etiquet. I had a strong race. I stayed up front and bridged a couple of breaks to keep everything together so that Dave would have a chance for the sprint. We decided before the finish that winning was not that important because of the possibilty of crashing due to these poor riders. I skipped the crit on Sunday because I was exausted and I just didnt want to ride with those guys again. I slept in and spent the morning with Lara before heading to Abita for the UCM bike fest. It was awesome. I was amazed on how many bike geeks live in the area. I wanted to buy a bike but I know that I do not have the room.

I am not sure how I feel about this place. I have to do a 45 minute demo today so I want get much time to get out much. I went and ate with the guys from Discreet last night. It was way over priced but the food was ok. I had crab cakes because I head that that is what the Baltimore specialty is. They were ok. Not enough spice for my likin though.

Imagine 800,000 bats living under a bridge that is the size of a city block deciding to leave at the same time. It is basically the population of New Orleans leaving for a hurricane. Bats are much more efficient on there cooperation skills and they dont drive. It was a sight. I have never been here at the right time of year to see it.

Stayed up all night last night working on my demos. It ended up turning out good. I got into using the dynamics engine in max to create atmospheric collisions with the hair plugin. I had to be at a breakfast meeting at 7. So I turned on my happy face and got to work. I setup my demo and now have a little down time before I go on. I have to be social all night so this time alone is a treasure.

I did not want to leave NOLA this morning to fly to Austin. I did with a little help from miss Lala. I felt like a kid trying to play sick so that I would not have to go to school. I arrived in Austin in much better spirits. I checked into my room and started working on what I am going to say for 30 minutes on Tuesday. I will be ready by morning. That is if I get my voice back. I screamed as loud as I could in utter excitement when the French team beat England yesterday. It was worth it.
I am starting on my first perfomence piece for the colaborated project with Jonah. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do. I am going to meet up with Sam the butchers little brother tomorrow night. I know that he has done some performence pieces before so I want to get his take on my idea.
