So here we are.
The date of the first public performance of The
Trinitrons. If you'd like to fly out to LA, it's 14358
Magnolia Blvd., 7:30 PM. Throw that on a yahoo map and
see how far it is from ya. Heh. 91423 for the zip by
the way.
I just performed
it for Jess, Charlotte and Marshall 'cause
I needed a nice dry run through as I'm having an
incredibly hard time with Live Adam. He's turning out
to be too much like Cameron. Even though they're now
brothers it's still a bit too much. I'm gonna work on
it like crazy tomorrow and should have a good idea of
where he's headed by showtime.
I'm basically just
writting this entry for a little getaway. I have been
doing all things Trinitron non-stop for the past 8
days. SOOOOO much work. I'll get into it in the
next entry, which will be the final Trinitron
Chronicle. I just can't believe the day has actually
come...
Man here
I go...
I cannot HELP but
think of that moment in December of 1998 when I bought
those TVs. It is soooooo incredibly vivid to me. I
remember looking at the credit card I was about to
hand over and thinking clear as day: "There is
absolutely no turning back now". I was about to blow
$1200 on 4 televisions with absolutely no rationale if
this didn't work out. Little did I realize that those
TVs would be the CHEAPEST part...when it was all said
and done, I was close to $10,000 by July of 1999.
What made me do it?!?! I mean, I think about
that now, and I'm in total SHOCK that I went
through with it. I sometimes think I was more
courageous back then. Maybe just more
naive.
Just so many huge
moments, and really nothing bigger than the ultimate
crossroads: CD101. On November 5th, 1999
I ACCEPTED the full time late show position.
I was about to have my own full time radio show with
Joe... It was a move on my part so I wouldn't
have to face a life of uncertainty following 4tvs.
I knew the concept would fade away as radio
became my full focus again. And then in an INSTANT I
was fired. I never worked another day there.
Absolutely stunning. I mean does it get much more
fateful than that? I remember calling my dad and
telling him and both of us being rather speechless. I
ended the conversation with I'm gonna move out west
now...and he told me of a cousin in LA and
I diverted my route a bit. That cousin never
returned my calls by the way. ROFL. LOLOL. It's just
so uncanny...
And now, today,
after nearly 8 months of development - I will perform
"Adam and The Trinitrons" in front of a live audience.
SWEET LORD I wish I could read ahead. I
absolutely HATE that. LOL.
Ya know, I was
gonna save this for the next entry, but I just
got it done and it's WAY too cool to not show
right now. Here's the very first picture of The
Trinitrons as a group.
LOL. Doesn't that
rock!!?!?!? I still need to work a bit on the color
balance and lighting, but for the most part the
picture is done.
Well I still have
a bunch of things to finish before showtime (17 hours
away!), but this has been a nice distraction for a few
moments. I can't believe today is the day.
WOW.
Wish me
luck...this is a big one.
Adam
Ahh
yes, the video...good ol' opening to the
show now...a little
play on the
THX logo.
I figure if I'm gonna get sued for
copyright infringement I might as well do
it right.
(16 hours,
45 minutes....)
