the 1 second film

If you haven't notice, The Evangenitals are on a bit of a hiatus. Brett is working a film editing gig, the Valentine's Season has meant that Lisa got consumed by her Flower Industry job, George has been makin' bucks playing with Cash'd Out, and I've been trying to get my life in order and figure out what I really want to be doing with it at this point in time. I think everyone needed a big 'ol break after the Road to Oprah tour. Although, I am already excited about the next tour we take. I really liked touring, which is a good thing, considering that we're the type of band, I'm told, that is really going to make our mark (and money) on the road. I'm glad I'm cut out for it!

It's Valentine's Day. I'm married. I have been for 18 years. I love my wife. I'm not allowed to date, not even for 1 second! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

But I am also in love with Twitter. It's kind of an obsession. I'm not sure that Twitter loves me back, so I made a pretty picture for Twitter and sent it. It's my current avatar.

Scary, isn't it?

P.S. I do a silly video thing, available through my Twitter. Check it out.

So I was thinking... after reading some of the comments on my previous blogs, that I really need to donate a little more that $1 to this fine effort. I mean, if I want to become a producer, I can't just expect an automatic promotion for brilliant blogging and complementing other producers... or kissing up to the director (who by the way is a great director.)

I recently got a subtle hint from Nirvan that I needed to recruit some more producers. So, I'm thinking of a "honk if you want to help produce The 1 Second Film" bumper-sticker. (Yes... that might work.) I've tried mentioning it on Twitter numerous times to my 1,300+ followers. Unfortunately, they're so addicted to tweeting that they won't leave Twitter for a second, even to produce The 1 Second Film. {click below - read more}

Since we had the day off from production today (at least nobody gave me anything to do) I spent the day at the Southern CA Linux Expo in Los Angeles (at the LAX Westin Hotel.) There were a lot of geeks on the Expo showroom floor. I was more interested in casting for The 1 Second Film, but since I didn't have authority, I didn't take action.

There were some really hot ladies in the hotel lobby. If only I was asked, "take them up to a room for a read." That would have been nice. But no... I had to listen to Open Source promoters tell me, "blah, blah, blah." I didn't understand a thing they were saying. I just couldn't take my eyes off the hot blond in the lobby. {read more - click below}

Today I woke up (earlier than has been usual - I've been staying up REALLY late), wrote in my journal (my REAL journal, not online stuff), and did PILATES! Yes yes YES!

Any day that starts with Pilates is a success, dammit! I used to be much more regular with the Pilates when Lisa Dee and I were neighbors and we could start every day the Pilates way... *sigh* now I have to self-motivate. I think my impending Modern Dance class is quite the motivation! Yee-haw.

THEN... I canceled my cable (hooray!) which made sense, seeing as Patrick and I stopped watching television 2 months ago, and went by The 1 Second Film office to drop off some tapes from the Road to Oprah tour and our bomb-ass fund-raiser at Mr T's Bowl with 8-Bit and saw some awesome new videos that they are working on, went to Target and bought an actual HOME PHONE (which is going to be ye 'ol "business line" for the Evangenitals central office) which will hopefully reduce my exposure to tumor-causing cell-phone radio micro-waves.

THEN... my friend and frequent actor in the theater I create Shaughn Buchholz came and picked me up and we went off to PCC to see Patrick's play. Post-play, one of the gals in the cast, who happened to be a huge fan of the show "Scrubs" (that Shaughn had the recurring role of 'Jason "Cabbage" Cabbaggio' on for a bit) and happened to be a HUGE fan of Shaughn's character, came out to have her picture taken with him, which was awesome. I love those moments of excitement and joy, on both sides. As Shaughn pointed out, actors spend most of their time auditioning for parts that they DON'T get, so to have someone get real excited about the work that you DID do is pretty nice.

Now we're going to get down with some "Glengarry Glen Ross". Awww, yeah.

FYI: Patrick's play closes tomorrow night, so if anyone lives in the LA-area and wants to check it out, there's a matinee at 2pm and I'll be at the 8pm show.

Peas,
