About me:

" BALANCE NOT JUST FOR KARATE ...... BALANCE IS LESSON FOR WHOLE LIFE " .... Mr. Miyagi - Karate Kid

I'm someone that loves to be inspired.... I love that feeling when you see something... Or hear something... Or read something that just makes you feel like anything is possible... Those moments can change your life... The power of stories and setting dreams in motion.

With Technology now catching up to our imaginations then there's really no limits... Anything truly is possible... So my dream is to take a handicam around the world and meet and film with as many people as possible... Sharing stories with all kinds of people.. One giant adventure where we'll never know who we'll meet or what we'll find.

People, places. stories faces...

Thanks for checking out TheWebShow :)

It's always fun being in LA... With a camera in hand then anything really is possible in this place... There's always something happening. Radio Station SEA FM started a huge campaign to bring TV host Ellen DeGeneres to Australia.... Nationwide exposure and just an awesome all round idea...

Everything culminated with Paul Moyra and Baggs heading to LA to hand over the official invite on behalf of the Gold Coast... I came along to shoot an online documentary and that's what you can see in the clips below... 7 days or LA fun and it was the first trip for the guys... Lots of laughs and good times.. And a great result as you'll see in clip 7... Hope you enjoy the adventure.

Day One

Leaving Brisbane airport and everyone is pumped.... 14 hours in the air before arriving at LAX.... We got to the hotel to shower and dump our bags and then it was off to Beverly Hills for a some pizza... A quick walk around before heading to a Bar that was taken over by Aussies for the AFL Grand Final... A great first day and night in LA.

Day Two

Up early for our trip over to Universal Studios... A few very sore heads in the car as the boys didn't get to sleep till around 4am... We checked out all the cool rides and met Ben who's the voice of the park... After lunch we jumped back in a taxi and made our way over to Venice Beach... This place is like a fun park itself... So much going on.. Galey did some interviews then it was back to the hotel to catch up on some sleep.

Day Three

We kind of chilled out this day... Heading into the CBS studios where the guys were broadcasting live back to SEA FM listeners... We had an awesome dinner on the Sunset strip then got plenty of sleep to recharge the batteries for the days ahead in the chase for Ellen.

Day Four

We kicked this off with breakfast at Nate n Als in Beverly Hills... While eating we saw actor David Arquette walk in... We filmed a quick chat with him outside... While we were doing this the workers inside lined up more interviews... Writer Larry Slowman.. And the worlds strongest man... A fun morning before heading back to the studios to do the radio show.... The special guest was Michael Lohan... Sharing inside stories about the dramas surrounding his daughter Lyndsay.

Day Five

Vinny Argiro has been driving us around LA and this morning he had a special surprise for Moyra... A quick visit to the resting place for Marilyn Monroe... The guys filming a chat with Moyra about why it's so special to her... After that it was off to CBS for the live broadcast back home.. A crazy email being received then the guys jumping in the van for a trip to Burbank and the Ellen studios... Crazy day for sure :)

Day Six

Another crazy day with so much on... The guys heading into the studios to do the radio show... Special guests included Ben Lyons from the E Network... And musician Pete Yorn... After the show we jumped in the van and headed back to the Ellen show... So funny not knowing what was planned... We had a dressing room and Paul Moyra and Baggs were about to be featured in front of millions of people watching world wide.. Amazing to see how far the idea had come :)

Day Seven

This clips wraps up the adventure in LA... But not before some laughs... After a huge night out celebrating the appearance on the Ellen show... The morning wake up call was tough... Especially since Vinny had organized a special visit out to Vinnie Jones' place.... Moyra being a huge fan... And very sick... Some funny footage in the clip below... It all gets wrapped up with the guys watching the show at the Channel 7 studios... Mission complete.. So much fun.. A great week in LA :)
