Judging by it’s size, Tara thinks it is pregnant.

Judging by the tree climbing skills it exhibited, I would say it was drunk.

I picked up a new lens (arrived too late for a project I was working on) it was a good excuse to take some pictures of Leah.

Last night RiverBrew had their first beer dinner. No, that doesn’t mean we drank beer for dinner. What it does mean is that we were given the opportunity to enjoy some excellent food prepared by an amazing chef, coupled with appropriate beers chosen by our hosts.

There has been some confusion in the community about RiverBrew and what they are really about. I’d encourage you to head over to their website (riverbrew.com) if you haven’t already.

I’ve been busy so all you get is more pictures.

As always, you can go HERE (www.flickr.com/photos/nateklan) to see recent pictures.

Here are a few samples:

The ‘Wreck’ set came down last Sunday afternoon and this one started going up the next day:

What We Did: After much deliberation about the material we should use to build the giant tipping cross we ended up with 2 inch right angle steel for the primary structure and 3/4 inch right angle steel (like that found at the edges of a drop-ceiling) for the bracing. There are RGB lights mounted to the floor, walls and ceiling that light the interior of the cross. There was much grace from above in the building of this thing, the angles never seemed right but the outcome was exactly what we had imagined.

The mirror prop was an oddly difficult build. The ‘mirror’ is actually an exterior commercial window with two panes of glass joined (it is HEAVY). The frame is 2×4s that were notched out to hold the glass and legs attached appropriately so that the thing wouldn’t fall over. There are two fluorescent lights mounted to the back of the frame that were attached to a dimmer unit so that they could be controlled from our lighting console.

Ken (pictured above with long blonde curly hair) and Rick (the Bassist wearing the black shirt and a tie) helped a TON with the cross build Monday through Wednesday. This set would have been impossible without their help. Andy actually did most of the work on the mirror prop, again, I’d have been in big trouble without his aide.

Kristie, as always, did some excellent work with projection. The back wall projection during music segments is abstract video stuff. The primary projection for text was a great feel against the rest of the projection.
