Updated: my meeting with Christian Bale and thoughts on Terminator Salvation

Just saw Terminator Salvation (a let-down) and it reminded me of my meeting with Christian Bale while he was shooting it. So I updated the blog entry to talk about the film and put it in the context of my meeting with its star. (plus some update on the Watchmen commentary as well). You can find the updated post here:

In the second Univision interview I spoke also about the meaning of this democratic victory and the need for our continued engagement to be able to seize this opportunity to make real lasting change.

La entrevista en espanol para Agenda Washington (Univision) fue relizada en Enero 21, 2009. In the interview I also mentioned working with United for Obama and pointed to our page on youtube, I also want to praise the amazing work of Eric Byler and Annabel Park specifically.

VIDEO: My Obama Inaugural gala performances: sneak peek

Some footage from one of our presidential inaugural gala performances. Only one camera though, we'll make better videos soon using two other angles and other extra footage from Obama swearing in, and many historic moments.

Here is our live rendition of the Si, Se Puede Cambiar song that I wrote during the primaries:


The next song I wrote this song specifically for Obama's inauguration as the president of the United sates. We premiered at the second Inaugural Ball I played, at Capitol Hill in Washinton DC.






Again this is just one camera angle, (thanks to Zhibo) and we'll be gathering more footage including Obama's swearing in etc.. to create a proper music video for this. In fact I just laid down the guitar part for the studio recording of the song. I will post lyrics later. There are parts in Spanish and parts in English. Hope you like it.

The band:
