Stardust: An Immersive Live Music Experience (Opening Night)

There's a massive amount of video I shot the past few months while on the road. Each week for the next month or two, I will be giving a sort of behind the scenes meets director's commentary on a video I am posting. Agree or disagree with what I amy say, I can promise you this - it will be the truth and A.I. free!

LAKEWOOD, WASHINGTON

This was from opening night. By this time I had already missed my flight (more on that later), fought off a head cold since the Pacific Northwest reeks havoc on my desert rat sinus cavity and had to wrestle with a bad cable that decided to crap out at soundcheck, Still though, the show must go on.

Opening night is always a cross between a firing squad and a roller coaster. Part of you can't wait...the other half is in full panic mode. Something that was really exciting about this particular opening night, was that so many of the audience members were seeing my show for the first time. I even had a few come back for a second and third time, while I was there.

Opening night isn't always smooth, but as my Dad would always say, "As long as its only you who knows that you messed up...that's what counts."

No fires onstage. No power outages. Nothing of the sort.

It was a blast. Once I got back to my Air BnB the adrenaline dump wore off and I was out like a light.
