Pizza
Pizza
AKA - 'pisa' 'pony pie' 'wet bread' 'portsa' 'the king's face' 'steamed broccoli'
The worlds most underrated bread/cheese/sauce food mixture ever created.
Brief History of Pizza:
Most people are mistaken to think that the pizza originated in Italy along with spaghetti and meatballs. The truth is, pizza was invented by an Australian explorer, James 'kangaroo belly' Dundee, who the Oscar award winning movie crocodile dundee was loosely based on.
The original name for pizza was koala cake. This lasted from 1293 - 1986, when the pizza was introduced to Italy. Once it arrived, the popularity of the pizza exploded world wide and Italy was credited with inventing the pizza.
Of course, they had their own versions of the pizza which were very unpopular.
A common example of the failed version of the pizza: Using seaweed instead of bread, glass instead of cheese and beach sand instead of sauce. Although these ingredients are delicious on their own, they do not meld together (it's the process in the oven that ruins all the flavor) as well as the current pizza ingredients.
Current state of Pizza (world wide):
Pizza is the most popular food on the planet (earth). I know it sounds like a stretch but, I spoke to 3 people and they all agreed. Frank, Jen and something with a P, they were very drunk at a pizza joint downtown after a night of boozin, but they seemed very knowledged on this subject do to the fact that one dude was all in my face about it (he gave me a hug on the way out so it's all good).
Barack Obama has been quoted as saying "This great nation, full of pizza eaters, has hope." Which proves to me that pizza is a well known food. I haven't been able to get my interview with him yet,but when I do, I only have one question for him:
As president, when you walk into Pizza Hut (or Dominos, or Pappa Johns etc.) do you get free Pizza?
I am assuming he would, I would give him a free slice.
Barack, if you are reading this, I will buy you a slice (only 1) if you sit down for an interview with me. I promise, the interview will be more professional then the one you had with Bill O'reilly.
In conclusion:
There are lessons in life, some are more obvious then others but what I hope people learn from todays post is this:
There is a world out there, you need to grab it by the crust, fold it in half and eat most of it, but leave the crust, unless you are really hungry and only have that one slice.

AV Humor
Matt: k, since you guys are audio guys and you've done audio for conferences and speakers and such, do you all have any recommendations for a long, gooseneck podium microphone? The meditation center I go has forever used a traditional microphone, either on a stand or connected to this giant luxo-style-extend-o-thingy as seen here: http://www.meditateinla.org/center/los-angeles-meditation-teacher/ If you have any suggestions or things that I should look for/be aware of (power?) that would be great. Hope everybody's doing all right!
Scott: Shure MX412 or MX418
Steve: What senator T says is what u want!
Mateo: The MX412 is good but I hate gooseneck microphones with a passion. They sound bad, they can't handle lows and aren't durable. I would stick with a SM58 on a gooseneck arm.
Scott: An SM58 on a gooseneck looks terrible.
Mateo: No it doesn't. Aren't microphones about sound, not looks? What are you, a client? BURN!
Scott: In hospitality AV it's all about looks. That's why I shave my scrotum every morning. Gotta get my tips!
Mateo: Well Matt has to decide if he wants a nice looking scrotum or nice sounding scrotum. Hope we helped Matt!
Matt: shave s-c-r-o-t-u-m. check! i don't think the sound quality will be too problematic for what we use it for, it's a small room that can only seat 100 people tops, it's just to give the teacher a little boost since meditation teachings are fairly soft-spoken. thanks for the recommendations!

Motivated and Scrambled Eggs
On Valentine’s Day I had to technical direct a women’s breakfast that a company hosted to inspire and thank the female employees for their contributions to the bottom line. Below are some choice quotes from the spiritual/time management/motivational expert taken completely out of context.
“You have to take all the opportunities that the Holy Spirit gives you.”
“You have to give yourself to yourself before you give yourself away.”
“Science doesn’t explain life.”
“Moisturize your body and give yourself a kiss.”
“You have to take all the opportunities that the Holy Spirit gives you.”
“You have to give yourself to yourself before you give yourself away.”
“Science doesn’t explain life.”
“Moisturize your body and give yourself a kiss.”
Applause!
