For the first time since, well ever, I went to work before 10am and was welcomed with the overwhelming smell of gas on 42nd & Broadway.  Apparently the entire west side will be stinky for quite some time... I saw the olfactory sensation Perfume this weekend with friends... I don't want to ruin it for anyone who plans on seeing this, so let's say I was traumatized by something that sounds like porgie. There was a porgie in this movie that caused me to lose my sight and sense of reason for a good five minutes. The audience was at first speechless, but soon bursts of teehees and guffaws were popping up all throughout the theater... I still really enjoyed seeing Perfume and even though this will make me sound like some kind of sniffing pervert, I could relate to lead character. I love the way things smell (good and bad) and am often comforted by the lingering scents that loved ones leave behind.  ... The whole point behind starting this blog fyi is to share my video creations and interesting finds I stumble upon. Right now I don't have any video to share (comp is on the fritz), but will soon, so be patient and bare with me as I orientate myself in this new foray of creative expression and shameless self promotion. However! Stay tuned for the world premiere (ooo) of the Pistolera music video "Cazador", that I have been working on for the last few months. I will finish editing it this week and will share it with you (and the world) here as soon as I can, along with a lengthy blog entry on my experience directing/shooting/editing my first music video.  Until then, wet your whistle on this very shaky clip I shot a month ago at their CD release party (the waitresses kept shoving me out of there way): [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px7uSoHm7xY]
