Quick note

Another day of inaccessible meetings. Another day being thrust way beyond my level. We started off at Stephen Leiweke's studio. Stephen is a producer and session guitarist that offers a more private type of studio with in-house lodging and includes all his services in his studio fees. It makes perfect sense, but apparently it's not the norm down here? That's how Innovation was.

Anyway, we also visited Jason Halbert's house. Jason is Kelly Clarkson's musical director. He runs shows and keeps everything synchronized completely regardless of whether or not she skips a measure or two. That's a high level of skill.

Emack Studios (Toby Mac, Michael W. Smith, Relient K) was next on the list. Met with Kyle Lee who does production, mixing, songwriting, etc. there. Gained a lot of insight from that, as well.

For dinner, Marcus DePaula (our tech boss for the next three months) had us over for chili and cornbread. It sure was delicious. We felt each other out and talked about some tech experience on both ends. Obviously Marcus outshined everyone immeasurably.

Sorry this post is so bland and undetailed. I'm really just jotting down quick notes, so I remember the day. I am rather sleepy, so good night.
