Starting out an amazing weekend in Old Sacramento with our camera crew we captured some images at the infamous Evangeline’s. Evangeline’s is a must stop historical landmark to visit in Sacramento California the Golden state.

My quick shopping trip will result in a follow up story with Evangeline’s where we will take you on a three story tour of the haunted costume mansion. Evangeline’s was a pit stop before meeting up with the rest of the crew at the Ambiance lounge.

The SacTown trio hits again! Another incredible week as we travel to Old Sacramento at the luxurious Ambiance lounge where our very own Celestial Thomas had the pleasure of interviewing Andre Henley and Taze Ellis. Sitting down with these two gentlemen was very inspiring and insightful. Andre and Tase gave us incredible information for local artist and promoters with exciting perks!

It’s great to be home! The week started out with high energy with the kick off of a new chapter of adventure. First up was a recent join to an amazing Facebook group called The Taco Mafia. I was only able to join one adventure before landing in the emergency and then admitted to a four day IV treatment for a kidney infection!

The first adventure started with The Taco Mafia Facebook meet up at the Escape Room in Historical Folsom California. The underground chambers where full of clues on how to escape. We had two journalist on deck. The first interview was the actual manager of the Escape Room and he gave us a history lesson on the historical building and how the Escape Room came to existence.

The second interview was with the the Rod Father The Taco Mafia leader! Rod and his team are the ones that create the meet ups.

in closing I have also featured a recap of our Vegas adventures. Thank you for watching this weeks Vlog. Next week I hope to show you the adventures we were unable to attend by getting reports from our journalist. Until then have a fabulous week.

Greetings! It is such a pleasure to be back with all you amazing friends! I am going to start out by sharing the most challenging week of my life! I felt like a pinball machine!

I am so grateful that I had incredible professors that taught me the most important word in television production “cover set”. The first challenge of the week was 48 hours before our studio shoot I received a call from our studio guest in regards to the fires she had to reschedule because the power was shut off and they were unable to practice. I was fortunate enough to call my November lineup to come in and perform so fortunately the studio recording was able to continue as planned.

The second challenge was a miss booking for unknown reasons causing our studio recording to be erased and given to another person.

The final challenge was one of our host cancelled two hours before our shoot! We had so many amazing ideas on that day and had to make a few adjustments to make it come together!

I want to give a special shout out to our amazing Journalist/Host who we have had the honor to work with and we are celebrating our second year with her! She indeed is a superhero! All the location and studio shoots we have had in the past two years she has not missed one! She indeed is an incredible asset to our production team and has saved us so many times she deserves an award of honor! Thank you CT!

This weeks streak of events brought up the ole wise words “Bad luck travels in threes”; However, our crew is prepared to encounter all challenges bestowed upon us!

Back to this weeks vlog where I’ll be sharing my favorite Las Vegas musical performances! I hope you enjoy and one day you can enjoy the energy I get when visiting the Freemont Street Experience!

I would like to close out with some exciting news! Our show The SacTown Insider Rogue Edition has a designated time slot: http://206.128.121.211:19001/Cablecas…

On this weeks vlog/blog I’ll be taking you on my amazing field shoot. We had the great opportunity to capture the 20th anniversary of a Place Called Sacramento film festival. I will be bringing you behind the scenes photos and footage of that we captured for the SacTown Insider and SacTown Underground.

Day one was a special induction into the Access Sacramento Hall of Fame for three very special people: Frank, Dana, and Lucy.

Day two is an interview with the Executive Director Gary Martin, A Designer, and two Co-Writers giving you the 411 on their films entered into festival. There was a lot of amazing Hollywood vintage costumes from the Gatsby an flapper era. If you ever have an opportunity to go to a Hollywood film costume party do It! It was such an honor to pay tribute to those designers who created such amazing fashions for their era.

Day three I was unable to attend but I got to read all of my peers posts which I’ll be sharing their pictures. The third night was the final installation of the 20 year special edition of a Place Called Sacramento film festival for 2019.

In today’s blog/vlog I will be continuing with part two of taking a detour from our Las Vegas travels and bring you to visit our studio in our home town of Sacramento, CA. I will be sharing some of our behind the scenes images of episodes to come in November 2019. This week has been surprising, inspiring, educational, and satisfying with energy with friends past, present, and future and new people joining our journey in sharing their amazing adventure with us too! Our team had a fun packed television studio shoot with our favorite Star Wars Light Saber Heroes. Alma Leiva interviewed Saber Warrior ARC master of Kyber Cave. We learned about dojo and saber techniques; as well as, best gear to purchase for the whole family to enjoy and free weekly events in the park featuring free lessons!

Ability Awareness Through My Lens

To be, or not to be: That is the question:
-William Shakespeare

Today’s blog/vlog is taking a detour from our Las Vegas travels and bringing you to my home town Of Sacramento, CA i’m going to share some of our behind the scene images of episodes to come in November 2019.

This has been a fantabulous week! Our team had a fun packed television shoot visiting our childhood favorite cartoons and cosplay characters!

Story One September 12, 2019 CrockerCon:
Celestial Thomas Interviewed a world renowned instructor Eben Burgon who travels our planet teaching the history behind comic books and how everyone can relate to them.

Story Two:
Alma Leiva interviewed Mitch Darnell the founder of league of Heroes Inspired whose mission statement is:

League of Heroes Inspired is a nonprofit group empowered entirely by volunteers. We work closely with hospitals, advocacy programs, and other agencies to bring archetypal Princesses and Super Heroes to traumatized children and adolescents, to inspire their Hero Within…

Why Super Heroes and Princesses? Because these are the modern world’s role models: bigger than life, colorful, and experiencing the same trials and tribulations that real people do.

Each Archetypal Princesses and SuperHeroes had a traumatized background (think Cinderella, Superman…)..

Mission:
The mission of League of Heroes Inspired is “Inspring Traumatized Children To Recognize And Access Their Hero Within!” Our work is therapeutically- and evidence-based, reflecting the following principles:

Next week we will share our Kyber Cave studio shoot! It was an epic episode! Can’t wait to share our images with you!

Happy Monday to you all! Sharing my adventures with you has been such a pleasure, as well as, as revisiting my memories. I wanted to get away from the music scene for a moment to share some adventures your children may enjoy. If you’re traveling to Las Vegas with your children I have attached Siegfried and Roy’s secret garden adventure. On my visit to the secret garden I actually got to meet Siegfried. I have also shared a link of a Havana Nights fashion show that I covered last week on September 1, 2019 benefiting the L for Lupus foundation with DMR Productions. Maya Leon shared her collection with me. Stay tuned for air dates if you’re interested in watching Havana Nights 2019 fashion show along with other designer interviews. I hope you all have enjoyed some of my previous videos with bands from Freemont street, The Orleans , and Vamp’d. I have many more videos to come!

This coming week I plan on updating my website and I am currently trying to study marketing strategies to prepare for launching a fundraising treatment as well as seeking sponsors to help launch my ability awareness through my lens campaign. Thank you all for tuning in and watching. And to all those YouTubers out there that I have been watching to gain experience on how to properly achieve my goals to teach ability awareness to our world we travel!
