Just returned yesterday from the amazing Blue Ox Music Festival in Eau Clair, WI. This year might've been the best lineup yet: Del McCoury Band, Sam Bush, Molly Tuttle, Watchhouse, Sierra Farrell and Them Coulee Boys, among so many others. We went with our 2 sons, Aidan and Jackson, Jackson's girlfriend, Addison Lewis, Julie's sister, Janet and her husband, Phil. It was a jam packed 3 days, for sure.

As some of you know I've been teaching the documentary production class at Loyola University/Chicago for the spring semester. Last night was a bittersweet night: the last class of the semester. I was blessed with an incredible class of students and I feel we learned from each other. Good luck to the students that are graduating!

Was clearing off an old laptop for recycling when I stumbled across these 2 photos from an interview that I filmed in 2005 with the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the Supreme Court building. It was a project for the Illinois Holocaust Museum produced by Dave Lundy (also pictured here). It was a great honor meeting Justice Ginsberg.

Today’s work place.

Today marks the 25 anniversary death of one of the co-founders of Media Process Group, Bruce Lixey. Although skilled in lighting, directing and producing, Bruce was the driving force when it came to the business side of our industry.

We will always cherish the time we had with him.
Bruce Lixey, 1959-1998.
