2009: The Year in Review
As I wake this morning, there is a quick realisation that its a last day for 2009. With some prep still to go for the show @ Cairns Esplanade (I’m on from 7ish till midnight..) I think back on all the things that happened through the year and in particular with the work that I have done and doing in regards of VJing and Visual productions.
This year has clearly been the busiest yet!! I don’t recall any other time where I was so strongly involved in such an array of very diverse and unique events that have been set all throughout Australia East Coast. This year has been an opening opportunity for me to step outside of Queensland which I have been covering for close to 4 years and had already made my mark in Victoria and New South Wales. And this is only the beginning.
There has been a lot of learning and realisations and despite some of the difficulties along the way, I’m still confident to keep walking forward strongly and in matter of fact really enjoy this journey!
The following year is already filling up quickly with sets of interstate shows primarily in Cairns and Melbourne/Victoria with some NSW and SE QLD are already filling up my busy schedule. To some extent it almost feels that I’m moving to Victoria for a while, but yet its only a passing through stage and generally I seek to grow and expand on International Circuit before the next year is out.
It gives me a great pleasure to thank all the people that have played such an amazing part in all the endeavours that I was fortunate to be part of in the year 2009:
