This last weekend I was up in Logan Utah working with “In The Dark” studios and S.I.N. productions on a short called 2^nd Thoughts. In this one I play a guy who has lost everything, his wife & his job, all reason to live. He has become a drunk and isn’t thinking rationally or reasonably. He decides that he is going to kill himself. So he drives up into the mountains and to do the deed. Once there he has... “2^nd Thoughts”.

Well folks this was a lot of fun, I got to puke, (even getting some on the camera man) drink the props, and run a stop sign right after a county sheriff went by. I was driving with a real 45 on the seat next to me, and an open bottle of real “Old Crow” sour mash bourbon whiskey that I’d been drinking… This was a low/no budget film, so getting that fancy ass “colored water” was out of the question. Well you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do! Then they told me to take the rest home and dispose of it properly. So, how am I supposed to do that? I think I’ll try diluting it with some coke or something.

Also this week for three nights, I got to be the announcer for the “Talent Quest”

karaoke semi finals at “Club 90”. The finals are this coming week on the 14^th & 15^th, also at “Club 90”. It was a lot of fun and there are a lot of really great singers competing. This week will be my third week listening and each week so far they have stepped it up from the previous week, so I am really looking forward to seeing and hearing what they bring to the table for the finals. Two lovely ladies from our “Actors Lounge” class/group have made the finals, Susan “SUERO” on the 14^th, the “Country” finals and Jesslyn on the 15^th for the “Pop” finals. Both are amazing singers and I wish them the best of luck. SUERO is also up for the "IFA" actress of the month too. Vote for her everyday!

On the agenda for me this week, is Emceeing the aforementioned “Talent Quest” finals Tuesday and Wednesday, this event starts at 7:00 pm. Then on to emceeing for the “Slippery Kittens” on Friday this time, the 17^th, the show starts around 10:00 pm and this show is to celebrate their one year anniversary.

They took votes last month to see what the audience liked best from the past year, and as a thank you for the support, the lovely “Kittens” will be doing those numbers.

By the way, the Kittens are holding auditions on September 9^th @ 9:00 am. So if you’ve ever wanted to be a burlesque dancer/performer, here’s your chance.

On Sunday I am headed up north to do a couple of “pick-up” shots for “Where There’s A Will There’s An Ape” by Sam Potter, due to a few technical issues. So I’ll be in Ogden for that at 8am on Sunday the 19^th. Then right after that I’ll head up to Logan for two separate “Voice Over” jobs. One is for S.I.N. productions and it’s for a really deep short film that I’ll be the narrator.

The other is for an online advertisement auction / sale on “Ebay”. This one is being done by the “In the Dark” studio’s group.

That's about it for now, except for a secret about an award winning short film I got to be a part of...

See Ya,
Bill
