I play guitar and keyboard, and produce my own music.
I’m also currently learning powered paragliding on the weekends.
I came up with the name ‘redconfetti’ long ago when I was trying to come up with possible band names. Strange enough, I find it interesting that it’s in this quote from one of my favorite shows that aired on Nick at Night, Get Smart.
Chief: It’s KAOS confetti. This is how they contacted their agents.
Maxwell Smart: I don’t understand.
Chief: Well, whenever KAOS wanted to contact their agents in a different city, they’d hold a parade. Now the agents would pick up the confetti from the street and the color of the confetti determined their instructions.
Chief: How?
Chief: Green confetti meant that they were supposed to go ahead with the proposed plan. Red confetti meant stop instantly.
Maxwell Smart: Well that’s fantastic, Chief. How did you ever find that out?
Chief: Well, they also used white confetti. That meant ‘Danger, leave the country immediately’. Fortunately for us during their last parade it snowed.
Maxwell Smart: And they all left the country?
Chief: No, they all went to Miami.
