Poor grammar.
Adult themes.
Strange opinions.
Obscure references.
Foul language.
Utter madness.

Okay, that's it, you've been warned.

HOT SCOOP on "George & Me"

"It features interviews with fans such as Albin Johnson founder of the 501st, and Shane Felux director of "Revelations", the most successful fan-film to date."
Good Stuff!

Also as today is September 11th I would ask everyone to take a moment and reflect not on the event itself but on the road this country has been going down ever since.

Zouaves: Red Legged Devils

This weekend I was in Maryland doing a shoot for Red Legged Devils. That in itself is a long story, but for now just let me say that Gina and I were asked to do some work for the C-Squared Production and jumped at the chance.
So, "what is a Zouave?" everyone but my good friend Patrick is now probably asking. Well they were an elite fighting force in the American civil war with a strange sense of fashion. Here are some pictures of me as one of Company F and of Gina as 'Williamsburg Wanda' a crazy Union supporter, living in the south. You will probably not see me in this get up in the movie as they just needed a drone for some marching and group shots for the day but I will also be playing Walter Otto Beck in another scene so look for that.



"Yes" the designer had apparently been told "I want to look shorter and fatter. Also I'll be fighting in the woods and such, so lots of red and blue and yellow tassels. Also I would like it to take at least an hour to get in and out of it."

All kidding aside the production looks great and the attention to detail was painstaking.

Viva Las Vegas

Sorry for the recent lack of updates, but as you will see, we've been busy. Last year my sister Denise started putting together a vacation in Las Vegas for my Dad and his wife Vera on his 70th Birthday. This trip was planned and paid for well in advance. We went flying out to Vegas (thanks to a little Xanex for Gina) and we had a very exciting time. We did not hit it big on the slots or the tables but we did not lose very much either. We actually devised a way to score very cheap drinks in the casinos and considering what they were charging in the bars and the drinks we put away, I'd say we even came out slightly ahead. We also took time to swim, sunbathe and look around. In general, I liked the weather more than I expected to and the town itself less than I expected to. The whole place gives the impression of a city run by Moe Sizlack from "The Simpsons". On the other hand, my sister Denise did a great job and took care of everything. My dad had a good time and we all got to spend some good time together. I am very grateful.
The one exception, the one thing I really did enjoy was, (you guessed it) Star Trek: The Experience. This place was great and the people there were terrific. They have a walk through museum with a Star Trek timeline, costumes and props, and everything is included from classic Trek through every series and movie. They have huge starships hanging from the ceiling, a restaurant, and even full scale, excellent mock ups of sections of DS9 and Quarks bar. If you go there, I highly recommend you take the backstage tour and see how they do everything.
The thing that really moved me, however, was the bridge. Needless to say Gina and I went in uniform and as Captain Logan and his First Officer Commander Gina Logan of the U.S.S. Integrity and we were treated as such by the staff and even other guest. The opportunity to sit on the bridge, however, that was something special for me. This is a full set and there is nothing to tell you that it is not real, no matter where you look. It was a completely immersive experience with even the low rumble of the engines rolling through the deck. I could sit in the command chair and look straight up through the bridge dome into space. Needless to say Gina played her part perfectly and allowed me to indulge myself completely. It was glorious! Later we went back to Quarks and drank.
Here are some more pictures.
