Oh man, that's about ten days late.
Whoops.
For all the folks who downloaded The Night Owl Chirping, it was something of an April fools joke. So it's really not the best thing I've ever done. Only close to it. If you didn't download it, then heck - download it anyway. The more things you have on your hard drive, the larger it's soul is. Think about it.
So there's crazy lots of stuff going on. I'll try to untangle it -
I bought a little moose at a toystore in Plesantville, NY.
His name is little baby doo doo moose and he's a finger puppet. Expect to see him in something someday, like a play or Owl Soundboard album cover. Or just on my finger at three in the morning.
I also bought a balsa wood glider - its crazy to pay the cost of a burger for something and then not eat it because it's not a burger but instead play with it for hours and hours.
Part of me feels like our entertainment and a great deal of other things we experience (food) is over produced.
Another part of me loves that.
But really, all we need is a balsa wood plane and a moose.
Today, Luke Francy did all the shooting for a short film that I scripted.
It's called Chaz Monster, and was a project I developed for Matt Lents, a senior in the Acting Conservatory at Suny Purchase. Matt is a freaking amazing actor, and I'm so excited to have something on his demo reel.
It's something of a love story, that follows a guy who is attempting to put together a web blog with his puppet, and also convince a random girl to fall in love with him.
It's not autobiographical, I promise.
You can download the script here, if you fancy.
I will post the movie when it's finished, so you get your popcorn ready. Or just eat it now. I won't tell you not to eat the popcorn if you want it. But if you still have it when Chaz Monster comes out, then yeah. Get it ready.
Set the date - April 22 is the Dramatic Writing/Photography collaboration at Suny Purchase.
I will have directions etc as the date approaches, because you should be there.
It's the premier of Dragon House, a musical. Mike Hart, composer and renaissance man, has finished the tracks and I am in the process of writing lyrics at the moment.
The songs are beautiful. Amazing.
And get this: Mike is going to start rehearsing a live band.
I will get to sing with puppets for roughly twenty minutes while a live band accompanies me.
And people say the American Dream is dead.
Our dragon is on loan to Luke at the moment, as he is playing Chaz in Chaz Monster. He's a working dragon, thats for sure.
Also puppet related - Max Dashevsky, a fellow dramatic writer and funny guy at Purchase, and I will be doing a show on the WPSR second stage at Culture Shock. We cannot reveal exact details, but it will be a puppet show, rest assured.
Stay tuned for a time and location on that.
I need to blog more, and not just dump crap I'm doing on the reader. And by the reader I mean the search engine crawler that passes over my page every month or so, slowly creeping towards sentience.
Please, go out and buy a balsa wood plane. I don't know where. I don't think dollar stores sell them anymore.
Give one to someone you love, and that day will be the best day of their week. Unless of course they get two balsa wood planes the next day.
In that case, the person who gave them two is much cooler than you.
But don't worry.
There's always little baby doo doo moose.
And I've completely lost it.
Good night, space station.
Keep on makin' that gravity.
And protein paste.
Mmmmm protein paste.
Ps - If you listened to the Owl Soundboard, and would like another one made for you. For you specifically, then tell me so in comments.
