Gearing Up

It's gearing up to be pretty busy in the next few days and extending on to next week. I was having a bit of trouble getting started with my first news story over at Hawaii Public Radio (this will be the first of two spec stories that'll hopefully land me a regular gig on the station's Arts & Cultural Events beat), so I briefly met with the news director shortly after lunch today. She gave me a couple of leads, so I'm now set on getting my initial interviews lined up the next few days and attending an event this Thursday night at the Mission Houses Museum in downtown.

Also earlier today I met with my friend who has the cable-tv show. I got my next assignment from him: editing a short segment on a local musician (currently living on the mainland because he's going to school there) who apparently shot his own video footage himself. The tape came earlier this week, so my job now is to review the footage and see if there's a do-able piece that's entertaining and worth telling a story. As for my wrestling segment, don't worry! It's going to air either this weekend or next. You'll know when I know.

But apart from those two things keeping me busy (but alas, not yet making me money), me, Jessica and her family will be taking a nice little getaway to a nice resort up in the north shore area this weekend. I was supposed to go up with the family Thursday afternoon, but the event at the Mission Houses Museum that I'll be covering starts at 7pm. So my getaway weekend will start just a little later than planned as I head on up to the north shore after the museum event gets done.
