Need your opinion...

Hey, everyone!

The big news this week is that we have been working hard on putting the website together so it can be an informative and entertaining tool for everyone to find out about the project news and info. Basically, the idea is that it is made for YOU.

So, it makes perfect sense for us to try and find out what you think about how it look and about what kind of information you would like to see there.  When you have some time, go to our website and check it out. Sign up for the mailing list. Send us an e-mail or a message telling us what your favorite thing about it is, what is the section you like/dislike the most.

Especially, I would like to know if the texts on the website are too long or boring or if they are fine. Let us know what kind of thing you would like us to talk about and what kind of thing you would like us to share about the project. By the way, that goes for the BLOG too...of course.

Anyway, the main thing is, I would like for this whole project to be completely geared for the listeners and viewers. This is about you, let's make it a two way conversation!

There and back again...

...a musician's Tale, by Al Kapaz...lol.

Sooo...I'm back from NY. Back to Boston. Back to a little MORE cold than the Big Apple. Back from a VERY successful trip for Project K-Paz.

We met with Matt Anderson and Jonathan Hsu, the other two people added to the "DVD Team" of the project, along with Greg Stees. It was a very good meeting! We came out of it with a real game plan and tangible next steps for the project, and it feels more and more like we're on the right track to get things going as smoothly as possible. I also met with Fernando Lodeiro, our esteemed engineer, to start discussing setup details, which was VERY informative!

Also...it was valentine's day and me and my wife went to dinner at this lovely italian restaurant, Tratoria Dell'Arte, on 7th Ave, where we saw James Earl Jones dining with his wife. So, basically, I had dinner with Darth Vader, lol! The rest of the weekend was very touristy, walks in the Park, around the Village, SoHo, and other delicious spots of that delicious city...

More to come!

First Posting...on the Bolt Bus??

So...here we are...facing the difficult task (one of the most difficult in the online world...) of writing the very first post on a new Blog. Right now I am on my way to New York, aboard the Bolt Bus. I have to say, this whole free wi-fi during a 4 hour trip really comes in handy!

It's valentine's day...but that's not the main reason why I am going to NY. Like last weekend, the reason of this trip is to work out the nuts and bolts (got it?? Bolts!! Bolt Bus!!! haha) of Project K-Paz. Last week we visited Avatar Studios with some of the people who will help us with the photos and the shooting of the DVD to start thinking of the setup and preparation for the big day...April 11th! Check out this video of us scoping studio B out:

This time around I am going to meet with Fernando Lodeiro, the Engineer who will record and mix us, to talk about the musical aspect of the setup, the instrumentation, equipment, and some other boring details, hehe. But I am VERY excited about it...as usual. I guess that's one thing that has been a constant since we've started this project, every new step, every little inch we move forwad, just keeps on fueling me with this sense of fulfillment and joy that I hadn't felt in a long time...

Yeap, music will do that to ya...

Peace!
