to our mailing list by E-mailing your info to us, we will keep you informed
on deals that come up time to time.Austin is a great town, but I got offered
a position as a Professor at the Acamdemy of Arts working with motion picture
special effects. This is something I always wanted to do.....so I packed
up the truck and I moved to San Francisco, what an experience that was.Got
chance to work on some movies, learned a lot, got a chance to meet and hang
with some amazing animators like Matt Hendershot who works at Industrial
Light and Majic,he worked on Star Trek, Private Ryan etc......This was great,
but Lee was really missing to be Rockin and a Rollin !!! Well
it has been an interesting year, I moved from Austin Texas to San Francisco
to do Special Effects and Sound for several movies.That was interesting but
kind of boring, you don't get much of a life. San Francisco was nice, but
holy cow, that is the most expensive city in the world to live, so I decided
to move back to Southern California.I was then offered several CD projects
which where very fun, I got to work with old band mate John Purdell. Then
out of the blue I was offered theCEO/Pres position in a Motion picture/Special
effects company (Visual Elements), Visual Elements has several top name effects
personel, some of the movies thereanimators have worked on include the Matrix
and,Titanic, pink Pather just to name a few.Well the new job allows me to
live where ever I want, so I have decided to move back to Austin. Austin
is a awesome town and they have hands down the best BBQ, I was a serious
vegetarian till I moved to Austin and smelled that BBQ. So as for my future
Audio adventures, I will be opening a new Audio company "Lee Jackson
Audio" Which will encompass everything from Amplifiers to Motion Picture
Audio Effects, And.....Finally I signed a book deal with Cherry Lane Music,
they will be releasing my tech amp book "Ultimate Bench Warrior" Volume
One and Two. Well....to keep
you up with the latest installment of my life, as you know the stock market
crashed, and this time it was a doozy..., We had some of the best presenters
in New York presenting our new company, and we had no idea that the market
was going to crash on the day of our presentation, So what does that mean....No
Moola. Then several weeks later we had the 911 catastrophe and that was the
final death blow. The investors freaked and pulled there support because
there other investments were going down the drain, and on top of that we
used a lot of our personal money to build the company, I personally lost
my lifes nest egg too, so what this all means is we needed to close the company
and regroup our efforts the best we could. Again, thank you for all your
support and I will try to keep you up to date on our new adventures.......
