What is our favorite activities outside The Cantina?

I'm a anti prohibition activist in Florida. Besides that I'm just studying in college.

 

When I'm not restoring antique automobiles, I build models.

Here are some model pics I posted here a few months back-

I work like a dog half the time, so I don't have time for any activities other than visiting the Cantina. When I do get some time off, I usually catchup on sleep, and will go out and practice filming with my DSLR. I mainly work in web dev and some video work, but over the years I've slowly built up skills and collected equipment for the purpose of one day making a decent fan film that everyone will enjoy.

 

I tend to practice my numchuck skills... bowhunting skills... computer hacking skills... you know... my wife wants a husband who has great skills!

 

I enjoy playing acoustic and electric guitar and watching anything related to Houston sports. Huge sports fan. I also am an avid gamer. Currently playing Shadow of Mordor for Xbox One

 

Exploring new places,playing with my kid,cats and dog.

 

I work a ton. When I have time, I still try to play some video games, and do film work when I can. I used to write a ton, but it's been years.

Other than that it's either whiskey in the garage, or reading in bed.

 

Well I played in a few bands for over 20 years. Opened for a few bands that some of you may have heard of. Exodus, Overkill, Six Feet Under, Fear Factory, Great White, Redd, LA Guns to name a few. Never did get that big break though I retired from performing live this past winter.

Since 2007 I have been a Father. That my friends is what I do now full time \m/

 

Cool, @WookieeMonster. We've got drums, guitars, a violin, trumpet, flutes galore, various other crap and music soft-ware... and never did anything with it. It sounds like you have the talent. You should really think about trying to get into writing for others (like BMI), or reaching out to indie film companies.

@emphram, what sort of DLSR do you have?

 

You know @Suicide Samurai I have tossed around the idea of writing for publishing company, but never even thought of reaching out to indie film companies. I'm gonna look into that thanx \m/

 

No problem. I mean, radio (pop song) wise, I hear songs and I get ideas that could be used in film for scenes, or help me want to write a scene. Having a musician who can write a song to fit a scene is pretty damn important. John Williams made Star Wars as much as Queen made "The Highlander," in my opinion.

 

@Suicide Samurai dude, Highlander and the Flash Gordon sound tracks are among my faves \m/ \m/

 

What sort of hot rods are you into?

Most of my restoration projects have been Chevrolet of various eras. I got hooked on cars in high school
when my Dad and I bought and restored a 1957 Bel Air we discovered in a barn.

We made another barn discovery a few years ago, a dusty dry-rotted 1972 Rolls Royce SS and decided
to try something different. We got it cheap, and It was a learning experience to say the least!

We restored and sold a bunch of cars over the years, but these two are my babies, my keepers. It's
the '72 Rolls, and my '72 Nova, the last cars Dad and I finished together-

 

Post pics of you riding with the top down and your mullet blowing in the breeze!

 

Yes!!! With Jukebox Hero playing in the background.

 

Standin' in the rain, with his head hung low...

Somewhere, I know there's a picture of the interior of my old 57 Bel Air, and in that photo, there's this plastic
ten-slot 8-track tape holder I mounted on the floor and in it, among other things, is Foreigner 4.

I'll have to dig it up...
