Rad Brothers: Part 2

I'm going to begin this post with how I got to the Rad Brothers bar in the first place which was by bus. Now, as I was saying in my previous post, about me being wrong about where the bus station was located and how far I was from it, I wish I paid a little more attention to what was going on. I must have fell asleep on the bus on the way to the bar because it seemed like such a short ride. And had I realized how long I slept, or remembered that I even dozed off in the first place, there would be no way that I would be walking for 3 hours straight to find the bus station where my bus stops for me to get back home.

Rad Brothers: Part 1

This weekend was one hell of a trip. I was called out to record an event for indie artists at a bar called Rad Brothers. So when the day came, I got my camera, my microphone, and my game face and set out. When the event began, the artists absolutely shone on stage. I am taking an incredible liking to indie music in general ever since my last gig at the Indie Music Awards. I met the photographer for the night, his name was Tyler Fergus. He's a very exceptional photographer and does it as a profession. Tyler was giving me some tips on photography and some tips on what kinds of lenses I should look out for.  His FB page is as follows http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Tyf-Photography/176760879036856. He also does magic as a side job too and my God is he good at it. He did a few card tricks that I managed (not very well though) to catch on video which I will upload soon but will take a while due to the videos large size.

I am glad I was given the opportunity to do this because not only does it actually give me contect to write about, but it's also giving me an invaluable experience. I'm learning videography and photography on a more practical and professional level. Not many people are giving a chance like that so i'm taking it and running with it.

After the event, I decided to walk to the Go station because I imagined that it wasn't too far from where I was, so I can jump on the bus and be on my way home. I was tragically wrong...
