*GUY SCHWARTZ' NEW DVD!
*SUNDAY NIGHT IN HOUSTON
*WEEKEND MUSIC
*GUITARS AND UPRIGHT BASS FOR SALE
*POSTERS - update from Bill Narum
Sorry I didn't get out to see you or have the chance to write last week. As The New Jack Hippies wound down our live appearance schedule a couple weeks ago (after the Press Awards Showcase, we don't play 'till the last weekend of August, when we play St. Pete's Dancing Marlin and The Balinese Room), I thought that things would calm down while I went into 'production mode'.
That was my thought and intention, but here's what really happened.
It's been hectic!
As much as I know that I have a real challenge ahead of me, production-wise (I'm producing the SXDE Movie, 4 studio CDs for me and the Hippies, and finishing my book - ALL supposed to be finished by December), I got sidetracked and accidently made our first DVD!
More about that later...

SUNDAY NIGHT IN HOUSTON
----------
Marlo and I cut out at 6pm for her rehearsal with Mike McGuire and the musicians and poets who will present POETRY IN REVERSE at Diverse Works in September. Unfortunately, Jimmy Dupuy called on the cell phone to tell us that the air conditioner in the warehouse was out, and that rehearsal may be on or off depending upon who makes it to Helios. We detoured to Helios to find a very enthusiastic DJ spinning downstairs to about ten equally enthusiastic patrons.
After an hour at Helios, we called Carlos and met up at Opie Hendrix' Sunday evening family get-together at The Last Concert Cafe. Opie and The Texas Tallboys were finished for the evening, but Opie and his son were still performing, and David Fahl and Michael Farber were ready to take the stage next.
I took Marlo home because it was sure to be a long night. Thinking Plyers were in town, and were set to do a short show at The Rhythm Room, during Felix Madison's weekly jam. Restocking my supplies at the house, I headed back into town in time to hear Felix Madison's last few songs. These guys rock!
While Thinking Plyers adjusted gear, I worked my way around the room. It was a great crowd. I had watched farscape at home, so it had to be after midnight, but I knew a lot of folks there. Chelsea Schwartz, the Austin rep from Arista Records, was there with Thinking Plyers. Opie Hendrix had found his way there after his gig, as did Chaz Nadege and Don Chachere. I saw several New Jack Hippies. There was Roger Tausz, Teri Greene, Skeets and John Chupin, all there to support our friends from Nashville. This is a band who has shared the bill with The New Jack Hippies in the past, and their drummer, Ryan Westbrook, has toured as The New Jack Hippies drummer before, too! Jeremy Horton asked if we'd play next, and Roger set about to borrow a bass. Pam Jam was there, and ready to play drums. Crystal and Helena, as well as Mandy Smith and Jerry Diaz (with whom we often go jam with on Tuesday nights - at the jam he does with Keith York and Gonzo at The Scorecard).
Thinking Plyers set was delightful, featuring a great blend of material we all knew from their past, as well as gems from their new CD, titled 'Fourteen Real Dreams'. Ryan and Paul Westbrook drive the rhythm like they were joined at the hip (they're actually twins), and Colin Allured's well-aimed guitar work and thoughtful lyrics spice it up just right. This progressive jam band is one to watch!
I'd lie to you if I said that I got up and jammed at the jam that night. That's what I usually do at this Sunday jam, but on Sunday night, it was a reunion set by six charter member Hippies, including 5 from the touring band, playing again after a few weeks without a NJH gig. Plus, we had Ryan Westbrook on the second set of drums! We've had a few recording sessions recently, but not so with the chance to play as a band. It was a monsterous set. When we said goodnight, Kirk Piper, the great soundman, grabbed the mic and requested one of the weed songs. There was another group of musicians, including Wavy Dave and Alan Cunningham set to play next. I asked Alan if it was cool, and he requested 'The Missing Weed'. No musicians were harmed during the playing of our encore, and then Dave and Alan provided a fitting soundtrack for our after show celebration!
I asked the guys, what's next? So, Roger and I showed The Thinking Plyers Steven Coats the way to Mai's Restaurant for Vietnamese food at 2am. They had a set scheduled on Pat Rosie's Nightsounds on KPFT-FM for 4:30am, and Steven, a singer/songwriter that Ryan I had discovered on a Monday night '12 @ 12th Porter' night in Nashville last year, was scheduled to play at 3:30am. The eggrolls and curried tofu was great, and so was Steven's set. Thinking Plyers asked me to sit-in, but I listened on the way home instead. I was ready to get home and figure out this DVD thing I had accidently discovered earlier in the day....

GUY SCHWARTZ
THE NEW JACK HIPPIES DVD
----------
Once we started on the video projects, things began to move fast. I began learning the system by editing the live footage that Heath Spencer Philip found the budget to shoot and edit. I came to a stopping point when I needed to ask Heath which type/color of an MTV block he wanted (the 'MTV block' is the group of words you see at the beginning of a televised music video which tells who the artist is and the name of the song, etc.).
I couldn't find Heath for a week, so I began noodling around with New Jack Hippies' footage. We have shot a ton of video over the past few years. There are a lot of Hippies into video.
Marlo Blue is a pro videographer with restaurant commercials and cooking programs making up the largest part of her video resume (which includes everything - even porn/yuck!). I have community access production experience from 20 years ago and recent education at the TV Production department at the University of Houston. Chaz has a Hi-8 camera and loves to use it. We were all shooting on tour, at gigs in town, at recording sessions and at events and parties we attended.
But until Marlo put together the new video editing suite in my studio, all we had was raw footage and home movies.
I began editing the Hippies' stuff by combining footage from our photo shoot at the Houston Chronicle with footage Marlo shot at the ladies Day concert on Joe's Roadhouse Live (where we WILL have 'Bluesguy's Birthday Jam IV' in February). The two events featured the larger New Jack Hippies' group, and combines a fun photoshoot memory souvenier for the musicians with cool live music footage coming in and out, and supplying the background music ('Time To Let It Go' and 'Shine').
Next came 'But The Night'. When the 2001 tour ended in Wyoming at Christmas-time, Marlo and I stayed in the west while Teri, John and Roger drove home the next day. On our leisurely way home, we stopped at sundown so Marlo could turn on the camera, and I'd grab a guitar and sing the song with the countryside and sundown as my background and props. We had snow on the way to Laramie, mountains in Colorado, and brown grassy plains in north Texas. Now, I had the chance to put them all together.
We don't have a Hi-8 camera anymore, so Chaz brought his Hi-8 camera over so Marlo could begin going through all of her Hi-8 footage from the tour. My editing process became faster, as I stopped looking for the best stuff on out digital tapes, and began assembling programs and videos from the footage which Marlo was sending my way.
Soon, we were out of hard-drive space, but I had two hours of New Jack Hippies programming edited, as well as 30 minutes of the Heath stuff and a cleaned up version of the 30 minute SXDE teaser I had made a few months ago - with titles andgraphics added!
Unfortunately, we didn't yet know how to dump the files back to the digital tape. We didn't yet know how to save the files to a data DVD, either. We were at a standstill until we could find a way to save them and clear some space to work on our drives.
NOW REMEMBER - the movie I must make by Nov. 15 is the one about SXDE and it's musical performances, and I haven't even started on that one!
The new editor has a DVD burner, but we hadn't yet learned to use it. While looking for a way to burn raw data onto a DVD, I ran across some software we haven't used yet. Before I knew it, I'd discovered a way to compress the videos I made into the correct format for burning a DVD that others could play in their computers or DVD players. I left for our Sunday night activities, but came home early the next morning and got back to work until it was kinda done.
I ran inside and told Marlo to come look! We thrilled at our accomplishment, but she told me to get to bed and get some sleep. Except for meals, I had been working 72 hours straight!
If you have a DVD player, and want to help me with the testing of this DVD, I'll give a free copy to the first 5 who come over and get one, if you promise me a full report of what works and what doesn't within a day or so. Call or email to respond.
The DVD contains;
Glo Guy - Joe's Roadhouse Live - A 30 minute program featuring

GEAR FOR SALE
----------
Gary Moon is selling a couple of great guitars, and Roger is selling his upright bass.
Gary had a couple of high quality studio microphones for sale, too, but Marlo bought them for use in my studio. My Guerrilla Cage studio is hitting the highest quality ever - we can do full-range video and audio production now!
Gary has an Epiphone Les Paul Special and a Springfield Les Paul for good prices in the $3-400 range, and Roger is selling his upright for $1200 (between you and me - the first $1000 offer will get it).
Just thought you might like to know....

POSTERS
From Bill Narum
----------
Here is an update on the history of Austin posters - since there are three components required to produce concerts posters, a concert, a printer (or press) and a designer, i have been tracking these down and came up with:
Steven F Austin, a newspaper editor from New Orleans, established the first anglo colony in central Texas (1826) and named it after Xavier Mina, who brought the first printing press to Texas (1817) - after Texas won it's independence M B Lamar, a painter, poet, printer, won the 2nd presidency (1839) and moved the capitol to a spot in central Texas where he shot a buffalo in 1838, naming it after Austin - even before the city incorporated Lamar brought in the government printer Sam Whiting with his partner topographer/designer Joel Miner and Austin's first paper, the Austin City Gazette, began Oct. 1839 - Austin was incorporated Dec. 1839
in 1840 George Bonnell (Mt. Bonnell), printer, started the Austin Texas Sentinel in support of Lamar, the Gazette switched sides to support Sam Houston (that was the origin of Austin's alternative press), humorist R F Brenham published the Austin Spy (Austin's first political satire rag), Joel Miner was producing posters (Austin's first poster artist) and sign painter L F Maguerat was servicing the capitol and businesses such as Bullock's Tavern (Austin's first music venue) at 6th and Congress
a side note - Bonnell was killed in the Mier expedition along with 2 other Texas printers, one drew the first black bean and the other drew the last - those guys were truly dedicated political activists
so you can see that poster art and the political press have been a part of Austin's history longer than Austin has had a history -
i have attached a revision to the initial email i sent out - spread the word
thanks, narum
