Day 21: The Project.

DateTuesday, December 22, 2009 at 5:24PM

The on going battle of projects keeps struggling on. Writing a pilot is a lot harder then one would think, and new ideas for other projects are always floating in my brain.

The best project of the year was probably at points the most stressful, but the most rewarding.  Jeremy Baker’s Capital Rock City Podcast.

It’s hard to organize and produce a show like this because it was going to be recorded and put on the internet for everyone to hear. Not just the folks who were in the Black Stilt Coffee House that night.

This show made me realize I have some really talented friends. Scott who recorded and mixed the show for us really out did himself and Kathryn who designed up some stellar limited run posters that are now framed on my wall.

Jason Walsh played his first show, Dock hates playing acoustic but did it anyways, Liz and Simon made pretty music, and JP Maurice did his thing.

Check it out here or on itunes and subscribe to it while you’re there as well. Jeremy puts one out weekly and they are always great.

Cat's out of the bag.

I guess the news is out.

If you listen to Jeremy Baker’s podcast Capital Rock City in his last installment he let the world know I’m in the works of putting together a live version. It’s been on mind a fair bit over the last few months, and I finally pitched the idea to Jer last week when I was at the radio station.

It looks like I might have a venue lined up. Hoping for a mid afternoon/early evening show so the venue can still serve food/drink and what not.

I’m hoping we can line up three bands/musicians to play some of their songs acoustically with some interviews in between. I think it would be really interesting to see what this would turn out like.  

So I need to line up equipment, stuff for recording it, someone to operate the sound board, get posters made, and the list goes on. Shows aren’t easy to do I know that. That’s why it could take a month or so to get this going.

Do we charge? We will need to cover some costs.

Trust me there will be many updates along the way. Till then do yourself a favour download Jeremy’s podcast.
