Back home, and one thing that’s always bothered me is: why are there folks who refuse to give up the window seat, and then shut it and nap without an eye cover?
How often do you get to see the world from 10k+ feet? How often do you get to touch the clouds? How often do you see *this?*

And after Jose was called off to do sound check for the eurobeat concert, nearly ending this concert early, I stepped in to take over mixing, which was wild.
Unlike the DJ’s, there’s several audio channels for the drums and another for their backing track. It was a challenge, but I survived!

And now that my internet’s a little better, a taste of the madness that was Project Yona.
And that little mosh pit kept growing after recording.
I hope we get more rock bands next year. 🤘

Concert’s at capacity, so gotta listen from the line access control point. But Shihori’s rocking the house, and new tech crew members Nate and Alice are absolutely crushing it backstage w/ Jose.
I’m proud of everyone on the tech crew. ☺️

Ah, the time-honored tradition of marketing execs who have no clue how to use contemporary slang continues.
“Come edge and goon all the way to Ohio at our skibidi arcade! No fanum tax means you’ll be mewwing with our sus deals!”
“Um… Do you have any idea what any of that means?”
