Hey Casey, thanx for the cannon ball! Your the best for even remembering, let alone doing it!

I just saw Emma Gardner in NYC. We got together to have lunch at the restaraunt I work at, catch up, etc. Poor thing, it rained and was cold during most of her visit. She just graduated from WWC, my how the years fly. Not too long ago I was fitting her for a kimono (made from bedsheets) for BOCES production of The Mikado :)

Ditto on the awesome fiddler. You just throw some music in front of her, set the dial for "high" and count it off. This girl is good!!!!! Nate is covering the mandolin very well, and of course Casey has the bass down. The new female mandolin player arrives on Monday. Lets see if she can keep up with the pace. We have a section of the music we call "Mighty Mouse". We use it a lot right before the end of Act I. The guns that we are giving to the audience are awesome! If anyone is coming down for this one, get your tickets early. Billy

I'm posting live from Cisco, TX! I've been down here for a week learning the music for the new show with Billy, Nate, and our awesome fiddler, Brandi Jo. The show is great and has some really neat music in it. We've just been doing music rehearsals this week and on Monday, the rest of the cast will get here. It's a lot warmer here than it was in NYC, but thank goodness for the lake! I did a cannonball on behalf of Lisa since she can't make it down here this summer. If any of y'all can make it, this show is a lot of fun.

I wouldn't doubt it Billy, but the last thing I saw L.K. do was pose for a Hard-drive box cover. Here it is! -Gamyr 

OK. I have been waiting for someone to say something, but I've just got to ask.
The other day I was watching the comedy channel show "Distraction". One of the tests was to ask the contestants questions while they were getting a "lap-dance".
When the male lap dancer came out, I could swear it was LK. When I got to work the next day, Nate had seen the same show, and he also thought he saw LK. So here is my question: Did anyone else see LK give a lap dance on the comedy channel? Or can anyone verify that it was LK? Billy

Gamyr has taken up photography and sent me this picture of Hannah, his daughter. I think it is a fantastic picture and wanted to share it on the blog. Also Gamyr has gotten this job with a really great lighting company in Austin, Texas. They do Austin City Limits and other really cool gigs. Way to go Gamyr!!!!!!!!! Billy 

Hi Zach. Big congratulations on your success!! Thanks for the kind words. Hi Lorna. What a great career you chose, to travel to exotic lands and be paid for it.
The show is going great. I am still looking for some male singer/actors (solo types) if you know of anyone that would want to audition. I have been spending most of my time at the cathouse. Oh yeah, last week Colleen and I built a cat house to house our currently 20 plus cats. Does anyone want a cat? Love to all. Billy

Hello everyone! Just wanted to let you all in on the latest news. I am leaving on Sunday to start my new job with Carnival Cruise Lines. I will be working on the Destiny which has its home port in San Juan, Puerto Rico, then it goes to Barbados and Aruba. I am soooo excited! I am the lighting technician for the ship and am also in charge of the lazers and the pyrotechnics. It should be a lot of fun and an awesome learning experience. Brad is going to move our home to Arizona while I am gone and he is also very excited! Arizona is a lot closer to Texas than Ohio too so maybe after my contract is up (and I am taking mandatory time off!!) I will be able to come and see y'all! Take care everyone! Lorna~

Konnichiwa, y'all...

Lisa wrote me today, and asked how I performed at the slam...well...

HOW YOU LIKE DEM APPLES?!!!!

This now entitles me to perform at the national slam with the rest of my team members in Albuquerque. Last year, they finished 3rd...and let's just say, we're hungry...

I've also got to say that I wouldn't be where I am now without the education and the work ethic I earned from wwcc. I still deal with lights and sound, and wrap my cables over-under. I also keep with me the lessons of what it means to be a part of an ensemble. I hope that I'll be able to pass that spirit on to my team as we move forward. So, thank you, Billy and Colleen, I'm more grateful to you than you'll ever know. More news as it develops...love to y'all...

Hi all, Dan again. Just got word on what show I'm doing for my thesis: sets and lights for The Rocky Horror Show. We're doing it at a historic opera house downtown. Go here to see a picture of the theatre. http://culture.ohio.gov/project.asp?proj=southern
