Catching up

As i have said before, keeping up to date with a blog is a job in itself. It been two weeks since the last post, or there abouts. I have been drawing like crazy. A lot on paper and not on computer, so not much to show, but i am happy with the improvements.
I have also been busy with the DJ/KJ work. Karaoke at Ron's Place it starting to get regular singers. Although there may have been a personal mistake or two in the first week (sorry) it is starting to get into a groove and I hope if you are reading this post, you will stop out this Thursday. Ron's place is the former Roadhouse and karaoke starts at 8.
Last sunday was the big spring forward clock adjustment. I was sitting at my computer, 12:30 and the phone rang. It was the Shuffleboard League to remind me that i was to start playing in 30 minutes. They wanted to know if i forgot. For the first and only time in a lot of years of DJ work, I had forgot!!! I made the fastest trip to the Mount Union Country Club ever made in a 1978 Dodge van! Sorry about that. I was to play from 1 til 4, i made it 2 til 5:30. Did some caricatures and had fun. Hope it was as much fun for those attending.

That brings us to the finals of the Karaoke contest at the Mount Union V.F.W. Friday night. A huge crowd on hands and a thank you to everyone who participated. There was actually a tie for the winner. Zeb and Shawn congrats. I am glad i was not a judge, whew. After the night of karaoke was over and i was finished cleaning up my gear, we talked at the bar about another contest down the road. Maybe toward fall. We are also going to look for ways to improve it next time. I gave a little speech when announcing the winner. I said that not everyone would be happy with the results and that is the way it is with every contest. No matter what happens if we do it again, somone will still not be happy. Just remember, it is a karaoke contest at the Mount Union V.F.W. it's not American Idol. :-)

Saturday night i was at the Mill Creek Fire Hall for an after the cash party dance. It was jammed as i knew it would be. Not because of me, but because it was a cash party. The night was a lot of fun. Had some great dance moves, but they were so fast i didn't have a chance to get them with the camera.
Toward the end of the night things got a little weird, but that stuff happens. I am looking forward to getting back there on the 11th of next month. It's a Friday night and that means KARAOKE!!! Hope to see everyone back then with singing voices ready to go.

This week i will have a little more free time. If you have lived in the Central PA area for more than a few years and you were a radio fan. You may remember Sean McKay, he was a radio, well god, with a small g, in the day. He is coming back to Altoona this week. He is going to do mornings on Q94 where i work. So that means the usual morning guy, my boss, will be taking my spot from 10 til 2. That also means i get the week off. Hopefully that will mean i will get more work done that i have been slacking on at home. I registered a domain carickature.com but haven't been able to do anything with it. That is n the list as well as many other things, including hours of deep thought :-) for now the end.....
