The picture below is for my friends in the uplink business or anyone who plays in the satellite world.  This is our truck, Baby Pard and I was looking at AMC5.  It took about 30 minutes to get the right angle to hit it due to these buildings in the way.  We are shooting through that narrow crack between the Federal Building (right) and Region's Bank building (left).  My elevation was at 48°, so that puts it just about at the top of the building on the right.

Yesterday, we went to Helena for 5 and 6 to cover the Blues and Heritage Festival (Formerly the King Biscuit Blues Festival).  The weather could not have been better with crystal blue skies and a great crowd, and not to mention, great music! 

Below are just a few pictures I took while on these trips.  Tomorrow (Saturday) I am at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Downtown.  If you are there, and see us, please stop by.  Both Newstar and Baby Pard will be there at the corner of 4th and Broadway.  I will try to post pictures later in the weekend of the race.

Tonight, we were live in Downtown Austin at the Driskill Hotel. (click here for their website) If you look to the left of the picture, you can see baby pard in position ready to transmit for the special. This is a gorgeous hotel in the heart of Downtown Austin.  I will add more pictures as time allows!

Keep Checking Back!

Monday of last week, we went to Hot Springs to do a story on the proposed after hours alcohol consumption law.  (read story here)

Tuesday, we headed to Conway for the 70th Annual Faulkner County Fair Parade.  Barry Brandt did weather and we had a ton of fun!  I want to thank First State Bank in Downtown Conway for allowing us to set up in their parking lot for this parade.  Due to the timing of the Parade and our live shots, I was able to actually sit and watch much of the Parade.  It was pretty cool!  The theme this year was "Get Smart, Go Green".

Wednesday, it was off to East Camden due to a reported explosion at the Aerojet Plant. (read story here)

Friday, we had our KFC Tailgate Party at Lake Hamilton High School.  The turnout was HUGE!  I estimate around 250 people were there.  Chopper 7 and crew made an appearance as well.  I have put a few pictures below from the Tailgate Party.

A Great Turnout for the Tailgate Party!

Saturday, I was back in Hot Springs, at the airport for the Smoke on the Water and The Legends Balloon Rally.  This was one of the coolest shots I have done because it involved many of my favorite things.  Barbecue, Cars, and Hot Air Balloons.  Actually, I enjoy anything that flies.  Being around them was really neat because it is something, at least for me, you don't get to do very often.  I have put a few pictures below.  Just Click on the Picture to see a larger version.

It's back to Austin later this week.  I love Texas!

Until next time!

We stopped by Texas Memorial Stadium to get video (and pics of course) of the stadium as they tear down the game preparations due to Hurricane Ike.
