Happy New Year, Happy New News

After typing that title, I realize that all news is new. I suppose that's why it has the word new in it. In any case, I have news!

First, I am recommitting to updating this blog on a more regular basis. Given my recent track record, if I can manage more than once a quarter I'm on the pig's back, as my friend Danny would say. You will have to ask him what is so great about being on a pig's back.

Now on to the more exciting news...

The Magic Man, a film I produced back in late 2009, early 2010 was accepted into the Slamdance Film Festival! It happens the same time as Sundance, it is also in Park City, Utah and I'm going! It will be an epic road trip (EPIC, I say!) with the director and the director of photography. I am ordering business cards and online shopping for warm clothes even as I type - I'm that good.

But wait, there's more. Another film I produced last summer, Ketheron's Bucket-Mending & Hymen Emporium, was accepted to not one but TWO film festivals in Australia! The Mardi Gras Film Festival in Sydney and the Melbourne Queer Film Festival in, you guessed it, Melbourne. Don't know that I can swing going to Oz in February but I'm keeping all doors open.

That's it for now but do stay tuned for regular, that's right I said regular, updates.

May 2012 be fabulous for all of us! Happy New Year!

Congratulations Roz Savage!

I'm happy to report that Roz Savage has become the first woman to row solo across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans! http://www.rozsavage.com/2011/10/05/new-records-for-roz/

If you haven't been following her blog or listening to her podcasts, you can always go to her website to get caught up: Roz Savage or find her on Facebook for the most current updates.

Or, if you'd prefer to congratulate her in person, she'll be at Greens Restaurant in San Francisco this Friday from 5pm - 9pm. I'll be there for a short while between my segway tour and my improv show. Come on out and say hello!

The Reviews Are In!

After a summer of teaching tourists how to ride segways and showing them all the fabulosity that is San Francisco, is it wrong to toot your own horn? I certainly don't think so... toot toot!

Here's what people are saying on Trip Advisor:

"Miss K was very conscientious about watching traffic, making sure she didn't lose anyone on the turns or the hills, and checking in with me (the "newbie") regularly to make sure I was comfortable operating the Segway. She was an excellent tour guide -- very knowledgeable and VERY funny!" - Pewaukee, WI

"Miss K was a blast and knew the area and history really well." - Canberra, Australia

"Kristian was a wonderful guide. She kept everyone in our party involved and was a great host." - Eugene, OR

"Kristian, our tour guide, is an improv comedian, and was hysterical, and knew a lot about San Francisco." - Sierra Vista, CA

If you haven't been on a segway tour with me, what are you waiting for??
