Hey my peeps! It's Gamyr. Kirsten and Hannah and I are fixin' to go on up to Cisco this afternoon to catch the last performance of Pumpboys and Dinettes! We're excited about the show, but I think we're more excited about being with y'all and sharing some warm fuzzy feelings about life since Billy and Colleen got there hands on us, and helped mold us into crazier, more neurotic, yet better versions of our prior selves! So we'll see a bunch of ya real soon, and Break a leg!

~Howdy all!~

I hope that you all have a fabulous time at the reunion...I really wish I could have made it down there to play some chicken claw with y'all! Have fun!

Hey it's Nate!
Casey Quinn also has a compelling rendition of his side of the jellyfish saga.

Hi Foks,  We just got back from the Gulf of Mexico where everyone went swimming and Kelsey got stung by a jellyfish.  We had to use a very peculiar cure for her ailment.  You might want to ask her about it sometime.  Deirdre, Dudley, Emma, and James arrive tonight to begin the week of reunion.  More later.  Billy

Nate now has some sort of green slimy substance coating his throat that resembles the stuff you use to seal a flat tire.  If I can ever get editing capability back for my web site, I will try and send a picture or a wave file of him harvesting one of his hockers.

More on Nate's throat later.

Billy

Hi Folks.  Yes it is very sad to hear about our good friend Howard Miller.  I called Tony to find out more about it.  apparently, Howard was working at Idaho Shakespeare and he missed a call for rehearsal.  They went to his dorm and found him there.  There has not been a definite
cause determined yet.  We will all miss our good friend Howard.

We had our first show of the third weekend tonight.  The Shearer family was here in force.
We think Nate has just contracted the cold that has been going around the cast.  More on
Nate's vocal condition later.

Hey! It's Nate Woods!  I'm down here in Cisco with Billy and Colleen doin the summer show with everybody here.  It's a great time!  We just painted the shop today and I need a shower.  Yeah Dan, I'll be showering!!!  Casey showed me how to use the Blog correctly and now I can.   If any of ya'll want to get a hold of me my e-mail is

I cant wait to see everyone who's comin' to the reunion.  I hope to see a lot of you there.
 
See ya,
-Nate

From the Wades-- Very sad to hear about Howard, he was a great guy, and made the best nuclear guacamole allowed by law.
 
As for us, we bought a house in Sandy a couple of months ago, so most of our time has been wrapped up in that, but Rik did find a free week to go to NYC with his band and record at Electric Lady studios, which was Jimi Hendrix's studio (and apartment.) He has loads of pictures if anyone wants them. Trish has one more class before getting her bachelor's degree, then she starts applying for Vetrinary school--wish us luck! Davey is five and just competed in his second Karate tournament on Saturday, taking first place! (ok, all the five year olds get first place trophies, but still...) Feel free to harrass us-- riktrish@yahoo.com

I have some sad news to pass along to Idaho and Festivention alumni.
 
Howard Miller passed away recently.  Howard Miller was theatre director at Twin Falls High School in Idaho.  He was good pals with Tony and Woodsey, never missed a Summer Solstace as far as I know, and was always good for a bear hug every year at Festivention.  For those of you that need a little visual memory clue- Howard always wore a claw necklace, he had a big reddish beard, and big heart.  He will be missed.

Hi Lisa, We are excited to see you. Billy

Lisa Niedermeyer- Confirming my online reservation for one ticket July 31st. I plan on staying "reunion week" up to the 4th (have to fly out mid-day from DFW on Wed. the 4th).

Hi Folks, If you are planning on coming to the show, please make your online reservations at: http://www.cisco.cc.tx.us/dinner_theatre.html Then make a post on the blog to confirm that you
have made your reservation and you are coming down. We need to start getting a handle on who is going to be here.
I think that the last weekend will probably sell out pretty soon, so you need to decide soon.
Ya'll come back now, you hear? If nothing else you need to hear Casey play bass guitar and Nate Woods
play lead guitar - as well as hearing the Shearer sisters make their debut on jazz keyboard.
