So’s I’mma goin’ to Vegas
The last thing to happen to me on Friday, just before I left work, was that my boss told me that I was approved to sign up for the PostProduction World Conference, held during the immense National Association of Broadcasters con in Vegas. Not only will I be going through intense training from a Saturday to a Wednesday in early April, but I will be doing it somewhere warm!
Even better, they’re shelling out for me to take a certification course in Final Cut Pro (our video editing software of choice at work).
Of course, to really make it work, I’m flying back on a red-eye flight.
Anyway, this is a huge, huge deal for me. I’ve been poking around about this for the past few years, because I went a number of years ago, and it really taught me a lot, but software and hardware have changed so much in that time. There’s an awful lot to stay updated on, honestly.
If anyone out in that area wants to meet up with me in the evening, just let me know!
I left work and met up with Melanie, Lucy and my mom and we had birthday crepes at What Crepe? in Royal Oak – which was delicious but so, so incredibly slow. The atmosphere was pretty cool, though. I’m such a nerd, I was staring at their tiny tiny projector pointed at a screen that was elaborately framed like a painting.
My birthday toy was an ipod touch! It’s pretty sweet, I just discovered a lightmeter app!
If you have one, what’s your favorite apps?
To be fair, it is difficult to find a non-redeye flight from Vegas that’s affordable. It has become an expected thing for airlines to specialize in those there.
But anyway, HAVE FUN! I hope you have a wonderful time, even if it’s a working vacation.

Woooot, congratulations! “I might get to go to Defcon next year” is the closest I can say to anything that cool. ;) And final cut (lol I typed “pro tools” first; guess what my husband does for a hobby) is a great thing to have certs in. Woot, I say!

I think it’s called Angry Cat.
