Mike Matthews's Field Reports

I know a lot of u are tired of reading all of my posts since I do em so often (every 3months-lol) but here I am. Since last time I've gotten a much better handle on web site building though I still have much to learn. I finished the company site a few weeks ago and are just waiting for the go-ahead to publish it to the web. …read more

     This past week has been utterly ridiculous & just unfathomable.-lol (wait let me spell check .……..ok I'm good). The premiere partnership inner city high school for The Media Aid Center just received a big grant from the desk of Arnold "the Governator". This is all allocated to their arts & film/media departments. The school in turn asked us to allocate the funds for them being that we're now heading those classes in their school. The scary part is that as u may know, government grants tend to expire, and so we received this news with 3 DAYS TO SPARE ! We had to crack open the catalogs and get to ordering pronto.  All of this came just a few days after the school received another grant. How crazy is that!  …read more

Well I arrived in Boston for the first time in life last night to a scary 15 degree climate. Cold to many, but from someone raised in LA an experienced 80 degrees on Christmas, this was just flippin ridiculous.-lol You know how your foot tingles when it falls asleep, yeah that's how my whole face felt. I missed my first plane @ 620am from LAX to Salt Lake city but was on my on the 8ish am flight with a lay-over in ATL. Goodness gracious why couldn't I have gone to the pso in Atlanta, would've cut the flight in half. Anywho, I'm havin a ball out here in Boston where the accent is apparent. So many green trees and fresh water is foreign to me. It's like a new concept when you're accustomed to a smog filled road-raged infested city. I have like 1 of the coolest supervisors ever (Martin Cheesebouroh) of The Media Aid Center. Basically we give inner-city High School kids the opportunity to learn and get inolved with the film and media industry. We teach various software & build sound stages & TV studios in schools. In 07 I'm plotting world domination! I'm still at the pso so I've gotta be brief. Who've thought I be so darn chatty with my very first Blog entry ever?? Not Mike, no sir. Gotta run. Ya'll stay tuned. …read more
