Been at PAB, expected to have posted this and the next show before I left. No time, as usual.
This episode and the next was in the can and waiting for post before I
left for Canada last week. I thought about post dating these episodes,

The schedule was packed though and most conversations I had were short
and had to be followed up at the end of the day's sessions.
Give me a few days and I'll have a post up for that, along with some brief interviews I recorded.

me with almost 300 gigs of video, about 12 hours of footage. Organizing
this much footage is going to be critical in order to meet the
September deadline for the final cut.
Over the past week I had the following shoots and classes:
