Well Thanksgiving was a blast!
I got some good eats and great company. I also just picked up a electric mandolin and Concertina. I now have enough instruments for a band. For real! I have congas, bongos, a djembe, a bass, a mandolin, concertina, jaw harp, tin whistle, panpipes, a sampler. dang i've never listed them all before.
anyway. I worked the campus life thanksgiving event. I certainly had my fill of corn! it was a blast thanks to my co-workers. I was also able to get into the studio to finish an album I've been working on for close to a year. I helped an alum to record his full length rock album. His name is Jake he concentrated in Vis-com has always wanted to record. he played all of the instruments on the disc.
I guess this album is a good example of my experience in the sound dept., i've been spending a lot of my education producing and helping musicians track there work. It's been a blast-
Any who back to the grind!
PS done with Finals YEah!

Just so we are all clear Rob is not both people in the above picture. Rob is the one guy and I am the other guy. Sometimes when people see us together they say,"Hey Rob, hey other guy." However, most people formally address me as Kyle (probably because it is less syllables). This is my 3rd year at the Institute as well as my second year as an RA. Since I started I have been studying animation unwaveringly. Even though I have been focusing heavily on animation that does not mean I shun the interdisciplinary nature of my school. Just the opposite actually because through my animation I am able to incorporate other disciplines quite seamlessly. This seems to me like a fairly solid but campy introduction entry so I think I'll wrap it up with some kind of news anchoresque sign off.

What a day huh?

My name is Rob, or Robo
I'm a 5th year senor in Sound and Fiber. I've taken most of the sound classes our school has to offer and have been blessed to work with the teachers I've meet along the way. I've been mostly working as a producer throughout my education at the school- though that is not exactly what the sound department is about>

Recently I've traveled to Ireland - The Burren to be exact and this has helped me to transition my work into the Fiber department-I've always been interested but never been seduced into any of the course available- they should consider coming up with better titles...

I'm also a Senior RA in the residence halls, which means I'm the RA's RA. Redundant as that may seem- the RA position can be hectic- and even the RA's need support. As a Senior RA I'm been given the duties of Staff development and creating Sustaining Life as an Artist programs. What the help does that mean you ask? Thats a good question. The Resident adviser position at our school is constantly in flux meaning it changes from year to year- thus I feel my position has been created to try to gage how the position should adapt yearly to accommodate the new faces in the position. I'm sure this is really boring and I'm done talking about it.

If you see me around feel free to ask me any questions about the school, I may know more than I should...

For real, I feel like I could extort at will. Its a wonder I'm still so dang poor.
