Las Vegas?!

10/12/2016

 
My first trip to Vegas was this past week and it was epic! I was only in the city itself for about 26 hours so the whole experience felt like some kind of weird dream (which was probably enhanced by barely being able to sleep on my FOUR plane rides...)

​​I got to stay at the Mandalay Bay Resort which had a seemingly never-ending amount of pools, and even an aquarium! It made me wish I was there for vacation, not work.
The first day I was there I walked down the main road past all of the famous hotels (see the included selfies) and I couldn't help but feel like I was in some weird adult version of Disney World (because everyone around me was either drunk or half naked). Then when I finally reached the hotel I would be performing at, The Venetian, I was transported to an extravagant Italian palace! Every hallway and side room was decked out in beautiful paintings and gold decorations, besides the very modern conference center I performed in.

The next morning I played viola in front of 5,000 business people and executives attending the LinkedIn Talent Connect conference. It was a really cool and unique opportunity to play in such a professional and classy setting. All in all the whole trip was a nice change of pace from all the tedious editing I've been doing pretty much nonstop.

I had a nice moment waiting for me when I got back to Albany - my song being played on the radio!! Big thanks to 97.7 WEXT and the Local 518 show for playing my single "Ocean Song" on their program again. I actually got to hear it pretty much right after I flew in from Las Vegas so I felt like a superstar.
In the midst of school work, organizing a show I booked, my crazy travel schedule, and my job I also managed to record some oboe and electric guitar tracks as well as a lot of vocals. Conor Grocki lended me his wonderful oboe talents on a couple songs (thanks!!) and Jake Crofoot played his signature noodly guitar licks as well as some improvised studio magic.

Without giving too much away, here's a short preview that shows off Jake's guitar and my vocals:
Finally, here's an adorable bunny town that I found at a pumpkin patch!
