Pushed into the Deep End.
We were artists, video producers and web designers… This was the first time any of us studying “New Media” really saw our own careers at work. The media was disseminating information like never before, through any means necessary. Though we were appalled at the situation, we were amazed and appreciative of the technology we were studying. It was the beginning of a whole new age. New media got pushed into the deep end, and, for better or worse, really learned to swim.
NATALIES: Natal Anniversaries for August 7, 2012
Today’s featured NATALIES include screenwriter, promoter, and all around good guy Samuel Glass, and one of our all-time favorites of our kids’ teachers, Alisha McClure, who was savvy enough to catch something that not only everyone before her had missed, but whose intervention also had positive consequences far into our children’s future.

NATALIES: Natal Anniversaries for August 4, 2012
Todays featured Natalies are my nephew the drummer Rick Macy (playing a benefit concert to help the Joyland Restoration Project today!), and high school classmate and Des Moines teacher Amy Kuyper Stockton. If she’s as dedicated an instructor as she was a stage manager back in the day, her students are lucky indeed.

NATALIES: Natal Anniversaries for July 31, 2012
I hope Michael Biehn gets to make his “True Story of Johnny Ringo” biopic. TOMBSTONE never got him remotely correctly. Ringo never shot a priest, for example…
Mirthquake Rumblings from around the Web.
Howdy Mirthquakers! Been REALLY busy, I can hardly keep up! But here’s what’s shaking! GHOULS WITH TOOLS! Did a poster for a screening of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (coinciding with George A. Romero’s birthday) at Pittsburgh, PA’s Hollywood Theatre, to benefit FIX THE CHAPEL, the grassroots effort of NOTLD fans to restore and preserve…
Bonehead Moves.
It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of the Bantam Street Players. Led by writer/director/actor Larry Blamire, the troupe is responsible for such hilarious and spot-on gems as Trail of the Screaming Forehead, Lost and Stormy Night, the Web Series (and CathARTic fave) Tales From The Pub, and of course The Lost Skeleton…
