I know it has been a really long time since I have written a blog, so forgive the scatterbrained mess. It’s been a busy month!
Artwork:
First, I updated my Deviant art gallery with some artwork that I have been doing over the past year. I have about 5 more pieces that I need to scan to upload, so those should be up soon. While my life has been so crazy busy, one of the things I enjoy doing is painting and doing digital artwork, it keeps me sane. I have not tried to sell any artwork yet, but, I am considering it.
Check out the gallery here:

Movies:
Star Trek: Awesome, I saw it twice!
Terminator: blah… but descent.
Drag Me To Hell: a great return of Raimi to his horror roots, with all the goofiness that we have come to love and expect.
Transformers 2: haven’t seen it yet, but I suppose I will try to make some time for it
Anvil: One of the best films I have seen in years. Seek this one out!
Dead Snow: I am hearing so many mixed reviews of this, and they all make me really excited about it. It is certainly on the top of my must see list, way above Transformers 2.
Music:
In constant rotation: Slipknot, New Marilyn Manson, old Jane’s Addiction, mixed up Guns and Roses, a ton of Aesthetic Perfection! And of course Bale Out has been getting the most play on my Ipod.
Travel:
As you may know I have been traveling a ton lately. Capturing interviews and performances around the country, all for a documentary I am filming. It is certainly frustrating finding the funds to get to each place, but a few places have been insanely helpful in getting me out to the shows.
Bitching:
I am filming a documentary. When you set out to do something big and not safe, even your close friends will tell you how dumb or crazy you are for doing it. While I realize that they are trying to look out for me, it just makes me a bit crazy. When other people set out to make a movie, everyone is supportive and understanding that they wont be attending every horror event. In this case, because I am showcasing an existing film and the fandom surrounding it, outwardly, it seems less “worthy” of my time and attention.
Very few people get to see how awesome and fun these shows are. And believe it or not… It’s not the only thing I am up to, but it certainly takes up the greatest amount of my time and attention. So maybe I am an idiot for doing something that I think is important, it may only be important to a few thousand people that “get it” But I am one of those people. I honestly do care about this! I tried to get the studio support, NO. So I am just doing it on blind faith that those few thousand people that do give a shit, will in fact, give a shit. If not Then I have wasted 8 months of my life on a documentary that no one will see, and in the process I am having a blast doing it.

Feeling Guilty:
So far throughout this entire blog I have avoided using the word REPO. Because of the flack I am getting about REPO, I feel like I should be ashamed that I am talking about it again. But you know what…fuck you! Here is a “REPO” for every person I have spoke with on camera!

600+ people have been captured on MY VIDEO CAMERA so far… and those are just at the places I could get to, imagine how many more there are. To date only a dozen or so are not BIG fans of REPO. Maybe I am not the crazy one here… maybe there is something to this phenomenon that the general population is missing.

A lot of people don’t get Repo or get why people like us love it and are making it a huge portion of our lives. But you are right, fuck them! I’m having the most fun I’ve ever had and I wouldn’t give any of it up!
I wish my bank account could support you in coming out for our August show. I’m always looking for deals though
And, just for you– (hopefully these comments support html code)
At the Toledo show!
