Fly, FLY, F L Y!!!!!

Howdy, all. I know I just posted, but I actually wrote the last post(Malaysia, Truly Asia..) a day or two ago, but had trouble posting it until today. So, I figured I'd post another entry for those who are thirsty for information about my goings on. In other words, Hi Mom and Dad. (I know, I know, there are actually some other readers out there, but, outside of my stunning girlfriend, Annie, who only had a question about who the hell Rutger Hauer was, no-one has posted any comments.)

No problem, I will continue to write through these tears of neglect and abandonment. (Just Kidding, but unless you post a comment, I have no way of knowing if anyone has actually read this Doo-Hickey)

It is September, before a rainfall...... A perfect time to be in love... Actually, it's Wednesday, April 18th, but I couldn't resist an obscure Musical Theatre reference. (HINT: Think Jerry Orbach, truly one of my Artistic heroes.)

We had our third rehearsal today(yes, it's early enough in the process to remember exactly what # day this is) and we learned one of the main tunes from the show. This number, and thusly the entire show, revolves around our hero's dream of flying with the jellyfish and is a "Californian"homage even Brian Wilson would approve of. I have a feeling this song, will become a huge hit with kids and adults alike.

If you are at all familiar with the cartoon, you may recall this so-called "Lost Episode", a full half hour installment of the show on which our production is based. The cartoon is usually split into two separate 15 minute stories, but, the "Lost Episode" is a musical journey through the trials and tribulations "The yellow one" faces as he fails, repeatedly, to achieve his dream. Eventually, and by accident, he creates a pair of flying pants which affords him the opportunity to fulfill this dream. To his dismay, the entire population of his hometown, including his best friend and pet snail, monopolize the generous sponge's day with tedious and time consuming requests, thus preventing him from swimming with his jellyfish pals.

Our hero eventually says no to everyone's overbearing requests for silly favors and begins to fly away. The townsfolk turn on our yellow friend and, in a fit of rage, destroy his famous pants, along with his hopes and dreams. Does he get to swim with the jellyfish? Perhaps... you will just have to see the episode. No worries, you will not be disappointed by the episode or the ending.

I hope I am conveying my excitement for this project adequately, as this could turn into a career changing show. Perhaps not, but at the least, it could turn into steady work for a good long time. That, and to break into voice over work, have always been my goals. Perhaps this is the break I have been seeking. If not, it should be one hell of a good time!

Goodbye for now, faithful Blog-Heads. Here's wishing you salt water wishes and jellyfish dreams!

Steve:

I actually composed a witty epistle earlier in the day and pressed the send button. Somewhere between send and comment recieved my literary offering floated into that internet dark hole. I don't know what happened but this is my second try of the day.

We just wanted you to know that we do read your blog and actually enjoy it. Of course I have to print it out for mom because, as you know, she has "great fear of the computer" except when it is playing casino games. When I can come up with something profound to say, I will again venture into the world of blogdom.

Love:

Mom & Dad
