Just got an email from The Point with all the details for Pointfest. It will be May 15th. Tickets will go on sale April 8th at 5 pm. There will be a presale on Monday April 4th, through 1057thepoint.com. The tickets will be $17.
Looks like Pointfest will be May 15 this year. On the Mudvayne website they list they are playing at UMB Bank Pavilion. Which most likely means Pointfest.
If anyone has any other information, please contact me.

Looks like I broke comments when I upgraded to WordPress 1.5. They should be working again now.
It’s about time for me to give an update as to how the new job is going. I have been there for about a month now. In case you are wondering jsut what my job is, here is a rundown. I do production for a photography studio. Once the pictures are shot with the Canon EOS 20D, which does RAW and JPEG files at once, I create 3 folders and seperate out the RAW and JPEGs and create a folder for the proofs. I then rename all images with the clients name. Then all jpegs are resized to 8×10 and then I can be creative and do some various effects to them, to show the client what we can do. I remove blemishes and can do some black and white glamour shots. Also things like diffusion, changing color tones and many other things. These are then burned off to CD and sent to one of the other studios to create the proof books which the client looks at and decides which ones they want.
All of my retouching and everything else is done in Adobe Photoshop.
Once they decide what they want I get the order and resize images to the size of the pictures they ordered. If they pay for retouching I will also remove any blemishes, wrinkles, bags under the eyes, stray hairs, and drool on some of the babies. For babies I also do a slideshow. For wallets I add either our logo or I can add a custom one requested by the client. Once I finish all orders for the day they are FTP’d to the color lab.
Soon we are also gonna be doing some panels for Young Achievers, which I still need to learn how to use the Kodak ProShots program to do those.
That is basically my job. Doesn’t sound too complicated but there is a lot of things to learn and keep track off. So far I like it. We are not very busy right now, but that will change in a few weeks. So, right now the photographer has been doing the proofing of images and getting them ready for ordering, which saves me a lot of work.
WordPress 1.5 “Strayhorn” was released earlier this week and I have finally gotten around to updating my blog. This was originally going to be version 1.3, but there were so many new features that the devolopers decided it deserved 1.5. On to the new features:
I haven’t had a lot of time to really dig into 1.5, but so far I am very impressed and highly recommend everyone to give it a try. If you want an indepth explanation of the new features please head on over to the WordPress Devolpment Blog
Hats off to all of the developers on a job very well done. Incase you are curious as to how many people have downloaded WordPress 1.5 head on over the the download counter. 27,105 as of this entry.
I had a job interview yesterday at a local photography studio doing the Photoshop. Doing things like touch ups and file management. Today I heard back and I got the job. I will be starting either Saturday or Tuesday.
yes, this is the big news I was talking about in my previous post.
