RAV EP 13: Terry Lapointe

Welcome back to Rex-A-Vision, everybody's 2nd favorite podcast with identity issues. Either we're an interview program or a game show...but either way we're gonna talk to some really cool folks like rock stars, graphic artists, hotel front desk workers who were mad legit...pretty much everyone has a story to tell.

My name is Rex Thomson and I'm a...well...I'm a professional weirdo. Under the catch all name Rex-A-Vision I work as a photographer and videographer I cover the American Music Festival scene from coast to coast, having some fairly idiotic but awesome adventures along the way. Basically I go to festivals, take pictures of bands, film and share them play songs, interview them and the fine folks who make the shows and events happen and the awesome folks who make the up the jam/funk/bluegrass festival scene work. I also do poster designs and logos for bands on the side, make little documentaries and babble on social media. In my headiest moment I think of myself as an artiste with an e and that little inflection thingee...at my worst I just view it as being a media whore.

Anyway, this podcast will feature chats with these awesome folks modeled after a game I play when I am driving from gig to gig. I call it...CROSS COUNTRY QUIZ! As an excuse to bug my literally thousands of friends I think up a few weird questions and call people randomly from my contact list and ask them these random questions and catch up with them as I go. Today we have one of the nicest guys you're ever gonna meet, sound engineer Terry Lapointe! Terry travels with the amazing band Fruition and night after night makes them sound pitch perfect! Your can check out the results of his work HERE on the Internet Archive!him on the line!
