Man, I had a great time last night!  I saw KISS at the Ed Sullivan Theater.  I got to see a lot of friends I haven't seen in a long time.  It was nice to reconnect.  Here's a poorly shot video I took of KISS making their grand entrance:
To see how the pros tape an entrance, and a concert, CLICK HERE.  Live on Letterman is an excellent  web series.  They all do a great job.  Thanks, Walter.  I had a fun night.

That video is my first attempt of editing using Final Cut Pro X.  It's different but the jury is still out.  A few years ago I took an expensive Final Cut Pro course.  I learned on Final Cut Pro 7.  After I took the course, Apple totally changed the program!  Such is life.  Such is MY life, ha ha.  I'm told you can still buy FCP 7 but I don't know if they still update it.  Crazy world.

I'm writing this on my new computer.  I finally broke down.  My old Mac was from 2006.  It's so old, in computer years, they stopped updating everything.  To save money on my new computer I bought a refurbished Mac.  I got all the ram and all the gigabytes I needed for about 15% less than retail.  Plus, I had an Apple gift certificate.  So the final price wasn't so bad.  I've been using it for two days and have no issues.  It's so great!  I'm very happy.

OK, that's all I know.  Have a great day.
