The Beat Goes On

Less "drums keep pounding rhythm to the brain" and more spending all my free time making movies.

This is now old news (because I still don't update this blog as often as I say I will) but the silent 3D short that I produced last year, The Magic Man, screened at the Palm Springs International Short Film Festival! A bunch of Scary Cows went down for that film and others that were made as part of this group. Sadly, I was not one of them because I hear a good time was had by all.

Currently, I'm co-producing a film that was originally a sketch put on by a local group. It's called Ketheron's Bucket Mending & Hymen Emporium. Yep. You read it right. I've been working with the cast and am now looking for extras to film the next two Fridays. Hard to convince people to take a workday off (for the M-F among us) but it will be a fun time on set.

We're filming at the Long Branch Saloon & Farm in Half Moon Bay. It's a full-on street right out of the old west and it's going to look amazing! The trick is getting the cast and extras in

wardrobe appropriate for the setting. But I leave that to other people and I take care of things like returning dresses we don't want to theaters not that close to my house.

And the Bushman film. I've got to get my act together to enter that in other film festivals. Like Santa Barbara, for example. Why? Because I would love an excuse to visit Santa Barbara!

So, my movie beat goes on. My segway tour beat goes on. My Big City Improv beat goes on.

And yes, drums do keep pounding rhythm to the brain.

Love the Oceans? Help an Ocean Rower!

As many of you know, I've been following the adventures of Roz Savage, a British ocean rower and environmental campaigner who has rowed solo across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and is now in the middle of the Indian Ocean!

She blogs on a regular basis to let us all know of her progress. Sending these blogs over a satellite phone costs money, and that's just one component of her row. How does she do it? She does it with the help of people like me and you.

You can sponsor her for only $10/mile. 100% of the money goes to the row. When she rows your mile (or miles) she gives you a shout out on her blog! She rowed my miles today and I must say it's a very easy way for me to feel like I've helped her spread her environmental message.

All those warm fuzzy feelings and the opportunity to follow along on her ocean adventure? Don't miss out...

Virtual Segway Tour with Miss K

Have you always wanted to take my segway tour in San Francisco but still haven't made it yet?

Well now you have a way. A very lovely German couple who came on the tour last week had a camera attached to their segway that took a photo every 10 seconds. They had it running for the entire tour, resulting in a 21 minute video.

Yes, it makes my hand gestures look more spastic than normal. Yes, I am wearing the men's XL raincoat which I refer to as my "big yellow dress". Yes, it is silent and there are some moments when the segway is parked looking at nothing special, but you know what? This is as good as it's going to get unless you get out here and take a tour.
