Day 6
Day 6, haven't left the timeshare, food is growing scarce, getting weak, all I see is brides. All my brides are down here, Ty, Amber, Pam, Crystal...ok not really but their videos are and I keep working. Lots of pretty people around here, but no one eats cheese whiz these people are strange. Wait I hear sounds, it's my vegan daughter bringing food, have to go. Will write more when the voices go away...avoid the bright light save the cheerleaders.

Welcome To The First Day
What a cool idea...you get to post your thoughts so everyone else can read them. I think I'll call it PLOGING...no that doesn't have a ring, I'll keep thinking about it, get back to me later.
Today "the set" takes us on location to Newport Beach, California. Even editors have to take a vacation, but not really. I have a small editing room, set up in the living room, with a BOXX laptop, external hard drive, HP DVD burner and minicam I am using as a deck to capture video.
My brides (I like to think of them all as mine) have been so patient with all the delays in getting out these weddings. Between a virus, that I have no clue where it came from (on the computer that is...after all my wife does read this), a defective hard drive, and other delays, I am pushed behind schedule further than I have ever been, in almost 10 years of weddings. But as the family shops at Fashion Island, I edit and edit.
When I return, we start our set up for the live internet weddings so many people have asked about. We tried our first one a few months ago at The Almond Pavilion in Oakdale. All I can say it that it was so-so. The problem was using wireless internet. Bad signal strength and bad stream. We have since fixed that issue and have acquired some new equipment that will let us keep up with the big boys. It was almost like we were driving a Volkswagen on a Highway with Mercedes and trying to keep up. Well watch out cuz we just got the keys to our 550SL (so to speak).
