Just attended the morning breakfast here at ShowCanada sponsored by Paramount Pictures. They showed footage from all theor upcoming films.
Set up the booth for the trade show tomorrow at ShowCanada and now heading down to the opening night cocktail party.
The Fairmont Hotel in Banff where I’m staying at and where the trade show is being held is sweet! A renovated castle built in the 1880’s.
The couple sitting next to me on my flight to Calgary was returning from the Coachella Music Festival. How ironic. On the road to Banff now.
Had to make 6:30 am flight to Calgary so I could get to Banff for Show Canada. Co-worker prepared breakfast for me and brought it with her!
Finally back from Coachella. Will take me a while to recuperate. Roger Waters was amazing and I’m not even a fan. Justice was great too!
Just saw My Morning Jacket. Waiting to see Roger Waters perform “Dark Side of the Moon” along with most of the 60,000+ crowd at Coachella.
Stars were really good. Hanging out to see Gogol Bordello. It’s less crowded today at Coachella. Think people are a little partied out.
Back at Coachella for the final day. Already seen Duffy in the Mojave tent and now enjoying the music of Stars performing on the main stage.
Spent last night seeing Prince, Sasha & Digwood and Portishead with 65,000 Coachella attendees. M.I.A. was packed. Lounging by pool now.
Cafe Tacvba totally rocked the Main Stage at Coachella. Hot Chip had the Sahara tent packed and for good reason. Off to Rilo Kiley now!
R coachella2008 Rilo Kiley is supposed to be great, and their last album was fantastic.
Just saw a bit of Devotchka at the Outdoor Theatre and now sitting under one of the tents listening to Cold War Kids on the main stage.
Just saw Man Man in the Mojave tent at Coachella. Never heard of them before, but they were amazing.
Just got back to the hotel after seeing Jack Johnson at Coachella. He was pretty good. I’m exhausted and my feet are killing me!
The Raconteurs Coachella set was mediocre at best Jack White was amazing, but overall not very consistent.
Missed all but five mintes of The Swell Season set. And now seeing Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings in the Mojave tent at Coachella.
There are drfinitely some serious fashion statements being made here at Coachella that have no business being made.
Getting set to see Vampire Weekend play the Outdoor Theater at Coachella.
John Butler Trio just played the main stage at Coachella. I had never heard them before, but they were great. Will have to buy their record.
Okay. All important emails sent and responded to. Time to head to Coachella!
I just heard it is only going to be 96 degrees in Indio this weekend for Coachella. Thank heavens! I won’t be sweating my @&$#! off.
Unfollowed @bgardner a while back because it seemed he wasn’t using Twitter. He is now! Follow him if you want to hear from a good designer.
Just made my annual trip to the gym. Thinking I shoulg go more often. Of course, that’s what I thought last year too.
Spending the next couple of hours meeting producers for a podcast I’m putting together.
Okay I think I have to take Twitter off my IM. That’s like the third time I have typed an IM to a friend that has wound up on Twitter. Crap!
Armen, in other news, I need to talk with you about a couple of keyport related things.
John Fogerty is actually singing “Put Me In Coach” on stage right now. It’s like an out of body experience.
Comedian Kevin Pollack is on stage before the dinner is served at the Will Rogers Foundation Pioneer event.
At the Will Rogers Foundation Pioneer of the Year dinner at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica. Tons of exhibition and distribution folks here.
At Ciudad in downtown for dinner before heading to the Ahmenson Theatre to see “My Fair Lady”.
Nordic Project →
Digital cinema equipment installed in Norway for the Nordic project.
Just saw “Iron Man”. Downey Jr. was great, the movie just okay kinda like most action films. It’ll probably make a mint at the box office.
Springsteen played two hours and thirty minutes. An amazing set and one of the best shows I’ve ever seen him perform.
Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine just came on stage to sing Ghost of Tom Joad with Springsteen.
Springsteen has played for an hour without taking the slightest break.
Springsteen concert is about to start at the Honda Center. We are all squeezed into the pit like sausages.
They let us into the pit at the Springsteen concert at the Honda Center. I’m ten feet from the stage!
Got a general admission wristband for the Bruce Springsteen concert in Anaheim and the random number thay was picked put me in the pit!

A tumble blog that posts one new song every day.
Still can’t believe both UCLA and the North Carolina lost today. Guess both teams were looking past the Final Four to the championship game.
Getting a haircut in Beverly Hills. I’m not fond of driving into Beverly Hills which is probably why my hair is so long.
Friend and co-worker @jperky008 is in San Antonio at the Final Four. Got jealousy?! I know I do. He’ll probably be tweeting from the games.
DIGITAL CINEMA FORUM - 400 BLOWS : Theme... →
A deconstruction of The 400 Blows, one of the best-remembered filmst that introduced
the New Wave to the world.
Headed out to lunch with Jim Whittlesey and Jonathan Kramarsky over at Deluxe Digital Cinema. Should be an interesting conversation.
This morning I drove past a smashed up car on a flatbed truck with the words “A teenager died in this car” painted on the side. Morbid.

And you’d be my boss… .
