What a busy past couple weeks it has been, I feel like I haven’t even gotten time to breathe much less update the ole’ website. Here is my roundup of the past couple of weeks, and things to come in the future.
Twestival Houston 2010
Twestival is a wonderful charity event that takes place in hundreds of cities all around the world on the same day. I have been a part of the Houston Twestival since it started and gladly donated my live sound services once again this time around. It was wonderful to see how many people came out to donate their time and money to a wonderful cause; Concern Worldwide. It was great meeting all the new people that I never fail to meet at these events. The bands were great to work with, the people were fun to be around and the photo booth was surely a bad idea for me to step into (see above).
Golf at Jersey Meadows
I finally found a group of people to golf with after not having played 18 holes on a full course in well over a year. Regardless of how awful I played, it was still a great time and reminded me how much I love that game. Hopefully I can make this a more regular event and get my skills back on track because as I quickly found out, the driving range and the golf course are two completely different monsters.
Roadshow Blondes Send-off
Roadshow Blondes is a duo of, you guessed it, blondes, from Houston taking a roadtrip from Houston to New York to raise awareness and money for suicide prevention and the Jed Foundation. Basically, the idea is that they are driving across the country doing all sorts of crazy things decided by donation. The send-off was a wonderful event and much like Twesitval, it was full of meeting new people and all-around good times. There is still time to donate even though they are already on the road so visit their website and get your helping on!
WordPress 3.0, Beta 1
It’s coming, and it’s coming quick. WordPress released the first beta of WordPress 3 this past week. The upgrade is perfectly balanced having a great bunch of improvements to WP2 while still being the same familiar system we’re all used to using. Custom post types, built-in multi-user functionality, featured images, automatic thumbnails and a whole host of other awesome improvements make WordPress 3 my new best friend. While it may be a little bit before I start using it for production purposes, I have definitely started to dive in head first and love absolutely everything that I’ve seen so far.
Primer Grey + Colab Block Party
This coming Thursday is our ever-so-awesome block party. What originally started as an open house quickly turned into a full-fledged “everyone come and meet each other” party. We realized once we moved into our offices that there were a ton of creatives and other companies hidden in the area that no one really knew were there. That said, we decided to do our best to pull everyone from within our community and everyone outside of it together for a night of fun and excitement. We’ve also added a little twist involving One Day Without Shoes, a cause organized by Tom’s Shoes. Be sure to check out the links below for more details on the party, see you then!
