  • Exit stage left

    Well I’ve started my exit procedure for the Arab games… So far I’m a little freaked, not that I’m leaving, but that they’ve taken all forms of identification that I can use to be recognized as a US citizen… I have no ID card and no passport in hand; since rule #1 when traveling internationally…

  • Another year another event

    I’ve been working on this event for the Zoo for the last 10 years. I got involved when I was first starting out at PNTA. Since then I’ve seen the event grow and evolve into one of the best events in Seattle, and arguably one of the best group of people I’ve ever worked with.…

  • What the hell?

    From working long hours to injuries… I don’t know which way is up.  Of course there are other reasons I don’t know which way is up, but I think I’ll keep those to myself for a little while longer. The latest injury happened last weekend, I was helping someone move some items down the hill…

  • Computers…

    Don’t get me wrong I love them, but I just had to spend the entire day yesterday and a good portion of today formatting and starting fresh with my laptop. I suppose it was about time, but the timing could have been better as I’m still trying to get all my things together to move…

  • The boat show…

  • Shoulder torture… But it was worth it…

    In an effort to torture myself and my injured shoulder I met up with C this Saturday for a little bike ride and some kayaking.  The ride didn’t hurt, the kayaking did.  Not only that but I was up way to late last night, and it turns out so was C, to be out on…

  • Email and then…

    An email arrived asking if I was still interested in working for this event.  I hadn’t heard from them from the time I put my CV into the system in 2006 and then updated it with my Seattle address when I got home, so I naturally assumed I wouldn’t be hearing from them.  So when…

  • Weddings… why can’t I ever just attend one?

    A long time friend got married this weekend and it was a great ceremony.  The location was nice, the food was alright, the random attendees were friendly and the photographers seemed nice. In the build up to the event we got there early enough to help put some decorations, programs and flip flops together, yes…

  • Boat show, boat show, it’s the boat show…

    So my new gig involves water, boats and all that goes between and with. So far it’s been a pretty fun gig. Security is a lot easier to deal with then it was in Doha, for the most part all the FA’s do their job well, some leave something to be desired, but all in…

  • News

    So I’ve been busy for the last few weeks and now I’m finally sitting down and writing a post. Although I don’t have heaps of time to put into this I will just put the important stuff and update later. First, I got a new job. I’ve accepted an offer from North American Video to…
