NYC & AES
Posted on | October 14, 2009 | No Comments
Back from NYC. Had a great time there. Scott Greene and Dave Hesse came along and we got to catch most of the major sites. Ate at Gordon Ramsay’s Maze at the London and Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles. Street vendor food was okay. I prefer the Fat Franks we have here in Edmonton. Got to check out a taping of Late night with Jimmy Fallon show, which was pretty funny. It’s always nice to see the Roots crew in action too. One of my highlights was the MoMA. It’s pretty inspiring seeing work by Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Mark Rothko and more. We were just in time for some special exhibits featuring Water Lillies by Monet and some amazing industrial design work by Ron Arad. On Friday Oct 9th, I went to Strawberry Fields across from the Dakota Apartments and celebrated John Lennon’s 69th Birthday with the locals. But the main reason for going, of course, was for work. For 4 days I attended the Audio Engineering Society 127th Annual Convention. It was pretty amazing and my favorite of all the conventions I’ve attended. I got to hear some of my recording heroes speak including Bob Power, Bassy Bob Brockman, Tony Maserati, Bruce Swedien, Greg Calbi, Tony Visconti and more. Even got to take a pic with the legend Rupert Neve! Caught a sneak peek at a ton of new gear coming up in the next little bit and saw some familiar faces. Next year the 128th AES convention is in London, UK. How cool is that!?
