Dancing Barbies

VIDEO #316
Song - "You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon
These were the requests for a birthday video from a friend: "Something with your little toys and Keeley as a giant Japanese movie monster. And I better get a producer AND a writer credit for that one!" I know how much she loves Barbie photo shoots so I incorporated Barbies. The cat liked "Ken" too much so the monster part was a wash. Anywho, Happy Birthday Kim! Cheers ya later.

Beats n Strings

Songs - "Moonlight Sonata" and "Classical Gas (live)" Performed by Zach Andrew

If you watched yesterday's video, you'd see that Vegas is filled with street performers. Their talents are on many different levels and you might question what gets these people up, motivated to hit the streets and what kind of success they're having... if any. After a dozen Elvis impersonators I was fortunate to find someone really "performing." Sure it is fun to see Austin Powers walking around shaking hands with people but my money is on this guy, Zach Andrew. A nice guy with a good ear for music. And word has it, this is his full time job. That's pretty cool.

People Are Strange

VIDEO #314
Song - "People Are Strange" by The Doors, covered by Echo and the Bunnymen
If you have seen the movie, "Lost Boys" you might recognize this cover by The Doors. Also, you might remember the movie later opens up to a very similar montage that takes place in Santa Clara. I always liked the movie (who couldn't like a movie the Two Coreys were in?) and I wanted to pay tribute to it... Vegas style.

The Super Bowl

VIDEO #312
Tappy Tap Taps From Dan's Magic Hands
If you missed tonight's game, here are the highlights accompanied with tapping from my own little "Super Bowl." Sorry to the Steeler's fans, I left out all the highlights for you guys. It wouldn't change the outcome so, as they say, "if you can't beat 'em... join 'em." Go Pack Go!

LAS to PDX

VIDEO #311
Song - "1974" by Gone Done Wrong
Even though it is only a 2 hour flight from Las Vegas to Portland, it is quite an extreme difference in lifestyle... then again, it's a huge difference anywhere and Las Vegas. Needless to say, it feels great to be home even though the sky is gray and the streets are wet. I wouldn't trade it for (almost) anything. Viva Las Portlandia!

Sunset in the Desert

VIDEO #310
Song - "Run This Town (Instrumental)" by Jay-Z
These time lapse clips all took place tonight, deep in the Nevada desert where snakes and scorpions roam the dried earth, sage brush blows aimless over dunes and roller coasters scream through the sky at a mini version of New York City. Wait... what was that last part? Three words... Vegas baby, Vegas!

The Car Accident

VIDEO #308
Sounds that happen when you get get by a car
You know, it was a little strange putting this one together. I caught myself laughing hysterical, over and over, when I saw myself getting hit by the car and adding the sound effects. This is very unhealthy. I plan to seek professional help.

Songs - "Make Her Say" and "Alive" by Kid Cudi
Portland Players Club just received a facelift so head on down to 60th and NE Glisan, second floor of Biddy's for a tournament, play some pool, pinball, catch a game on the flat screens and grab some food. If you play your cards right, you might walk out with a nice stack of cash!
