Well, looks like I am ready to travel. Been feeling calm up until about 15 minutes ago.
Damn nerves.
I have always been a nervous traveler. The drive itself is pretty simple … 1-40 to 1-26 to 1-95 to 1A/200 … all going south, of course. About 30 minutes and I will be on that route. Catch y’all later …
Road Trip!
It been a couple of years since the last home grown MonsterFest … but tomorrow I will hop in the Jeep and make the trek to the wilds of North Florida for the weekend to visit Dr. Phibes and his crew. So tonight is laundry, packing and worrying about all sorts of potential travel disasters (car wrecks, breakdowns, etc.). Traveling south is always fun because I always have to resist the urge to stop at one of those roadside nudie bars on I-95. I also have to resist the urge to get local flavor by listen to A.M. Radio all the way down. Seven hours in the Jeep is gonna be fun!
Shit List
Amazon.com is totally on my shit list right now. I pre-ordered the “Warner Home Video Directors Series: Stanley Kubrick” months ago. Well, it was released yesterday and immediately they have listed it as “Usually ships within 5 to 6 weeks.” Grrrrrrrr. Isn’t the point of pre-ordering so you have you name on the list and can get an item right when it comes out?!?!?!? Patience has never been one of my virtues.
“Cabaret” Ends
After 16 sold out performances, backstage drama, injuries, replacements and one near death experience … the Kit Kat Club has closed its doors and is no longer open for business. Thanks to all the performers and patrons that made it a great run.
Friday Statement
The Windows Operating System sucks … it sucks soooooo much.
Several Days Later
Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. It’s been a busy week and I haven’t had much to say.
I did get two sweet birthday gifts over the weekend thanks to Scott and Franke …
Scott’s 2-Part Gift (Warning: It’s definitely NSFW!)
Franke’s Gift (Mmmmm. Brains!)
I heart Zombies, Brains and Leather Toys!
In other news:
“Cabaret” started it’s final five performances last night … all of which are sold out! It’s been great having the show sell really well but I, for one, am ready to put this one to bed. It’s been a year of thinking and planning, casting, seven weeks of rehearsals, four weekends of performances.
“28 Weeks Later” is coming from Netflix and that makes me excited. It’s gotten a lot of good buzz.
Echo Bridge’s new anamorphic widescreen release of “Prom Night” is now mine. That makes me super-duper excited!!!
And don’t forget that “The Complete Peanuts: 1965-1966” is now in stores for your purchasing pleasure!
Tomorrow!!!
Another year gone … and new year to look forward to. Tomorrow I turn the ripe old age of 36.
Interviewed!
My friend Kat interviewed me for her Writers & Artists blog …
And …
Busy Day … Busy Week … Busy Month … Busy, Busy, Busy!!! And, we go back into performances for “Cabaret” tonight. Whoo.
Presenting … Season Three!
Don’t forget that yesterday “Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Season Three” dropped into stores. I have been looking forward to this release because Season Three contains “The Perfect Crime” (starring Vincent Price and directed by Hitchcock) and the classic “Lamb to the Slaughter.”
