Vacation thwarted but not all was lost...

 Timing is everything.  Unfortunately our trip to Mammoth Lakes was cancelled because of a heat wave.  You don't want to go hiking in the mountains when the weather is 86 degrees and your condo doesn't have air conditioning.  When I booked the room the guy said we wouldn't need a/c.  That's because it's usually 75 degrees but when I saw it was in the high 80's we decided to have a staycation instead.  So...we went to the movies and saw:  "Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning" the first day and then went right back the next day and saw "Oppenheimer."   Funny enough we did NOT see Barbie but I did pose in the photo booth.  You couldn't help get in the mood for this movie because everyone was wearing pink.  Even me (unintentionally).

Day 3 we went to the Hammer Museum and got our art fix:

For size reference:

My parents used to tease me when I cut up and call me "Sarah Bernhardt."  She was the most dramatic actress of her time.  Here we are:

This artist is from Uganda.  I've seen many pieces of his art and am a big fan.

This photo was really powerful...

Especially when you read the description

Random photo that my phone took.  Pretty artsy fartsy!

Mary Kelly art piece.  Powerful - read the description:

These are close ups of a painting.

A close up of an angel sitting at King David's feet:

I loved the color blocks in the back part of this painting.  Reminded me of Mark Rothko.

Day 4 It turned out to be a lazy day.  We hung out at home and had a great lunch at The Great Greek on Larchmont and then went to Cake Monkey for baked goodies.  A food vacation day.

 

Recording Nikki Moore and Claire Kay Hernandez Demos

Did a double recording session - Nikki Moore and Claire Kay Hernandez.  I produced demos with these girls a few years ago so we wanted to do something different...we did radio shows.  Super fun alternatives to a traditional vo demo.  So fun to get in the studio with both of them.

Here's Claire's Commercial Demo.  Click this link:

We also produced a "Radio Show" version of her commercial demo that Claire will be having animated.  Here's the tracks for that:

Claire Kay Commercial RADIO SHOW

Our Fourth of July hoof up the hill.  Check out that smog!  After days of fireworks popping our air is dirty and the real show hadn't even started yet....I kind of love and hate this holiday.  The fireworks give me some strange ptsd that makes me think that our town is being attacked and the air is not healthy for human beings.  But wow, it's pretty!  Next year we're going out of town to escape it all.
