Blue Chips at The Redmoor

I was on the production crew Wednesday night for the 2012 Blue Chip Cable Access Awards, held at The Redmoor theatre on Mt. Lookout Square. I was given the anachronistically titled job of "Tape Operator"; actually, I was cueing up mpeg video clips of the winners entries for roll-in on a Windows XP computer. Another example of language failing to keep up with technology, much as when the hostess Denise Johnson said the we were "filming" the show for later playback.

All in all, a very enjoyable evening, and the show went off with few hitches. :-)

The 2011 VRN (Volunteer Recognition Night) for Waycross Community Media volunteers took place tonight at the Forest Park Senior Center. A lot of wonderful awards given out, including Jason's fifth straight Volunteer of the Year, and a national Hometown Video Award (pictured at right) given to Waycross volunteers for our coverage of last year's Smooth Jazz in the Park (congratulations, everybody!). In addition, I was recognized with a "longevity" award, in recognition of my volunteering for 20 years now. This award came with a Skyline Chili gift card and two tickets to a Reds game. Not a bad haul. Now if the Reds would just get in gear...
