New Year’s Eve 2009

If you checked out my previous post on New Year’s Eve, you’ll see that my attempt to do live video streaming didn’t work so well.

I was able to capture some halfway decent videos on my photo camera though. Here’s some of the videos I got at a couple of the bars I was in.

First some JR and Natalie videos from the Cafe 210. The videos are a little jumpy because I was zoomed in to try to prevent the lights from behind the band from overwhelming the camera sensors. For the most part I succeeded.

Van Morrison’s “Wild Nights”.

Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline”

Tom Petty’s “Free Falling” — kind of funny because Natalie grabbed the camera out of my hands and briefly turned it around on me.

Roberta Flack (and the Fugees) “Killing Me Softly”

JR and Natalie ended their last set at 1:30 and Natalie (and I) rushed over to the Phyrst before they gave their 2:00 am last call. At the Phyrst, Natalie did a couple of songs with Maxwell Strait (she’s been filling in as the lead singer with them because their normal lead, Molly Countermine, has been out having her third child). Molly, Natalie, and the third woman on stage, Kate Twoey, also perform together as a trio called Pure Cane Sugar.

Aretha Franklin’s Chain of Fools

Crosby, Stills, and Nash’s “Four Dead in Ohio”

Needless to say – I’m having fun with my new camera.

Another live stream

Thought I’d try this live stream thing again. This time I’ll capture some video from the First Night State College New Year’s Eve Celebration. I’ll wrestle with some of the dame dim lighting in the bar challenges that I had the last time but we’ll give it a whirl anyway.

Hopefully my videos will appear below (once I start recording that is – I see the old Santa Crawl ones are there now).
