Nice Pics Lisa, and Bliss is finally getting respectable. Gosh, it must be the 21st Century! I heard Beef posted a while back and nobody commented to her. So Beef, whereever you are, "We Love You - You little Puddin' Pie!" Lorna? Are you lost in Aruba? And Richard Brickner, you little dickens, what is Santa bringing you for Christmas. Oh Yeah, Casey. Where you at, boy? Whatever you are doing I sure hope it's legal. Gamyr, how's the job going? Renee, Zach, Kelsey, Dan, Becky, Dana, Justin, Rik, Natalie, Sara, Daryl, Michelle, Tony, Deirdre, Jen, Katie, Tanya and Courtney. Haven't heard from you lately. Billy

Hello all,
I'm sure many thought I was dead... But Noooooooo! The Blister lives on. I just started a new job (a real job) as the afternoon Board Op/News Anchor on a local AM station in Laramie, KOWB. Finally a job that doesn't suck. Haven't had one of those for many years, maybe since WWC. This job even has benefits, guess I'll finally get some new glasses. The Community Theatre is doing quite well, I'm letting some of the other mainstays direct. Hard to let go, but I'm getting a good dose for my acting addiction. We just closed "Desire Under the Elms", and entered it into RMTA as a participating show. Who knows we may tour to Helena... Remember Helena, Billy and Colleen... Man, what a drive. In Jan. we're doing "The Mousetrap", directed by one of Kay Coughenhaur's old students. Then back to helm for me as we do my Original Musical... Boy I hope I can get it done. Joe Baker just bought a store/bar/rest in Centennial which will soon be home to our theatre complex. Yeeeeeee Hawww, as they say.
Best wishes to all and Break as many legs as possible (unless you're in a dance show...)...............Bliss
P.S. - Richard Brickner my email is blissbragsdale@hotmail.com

Here are some photos from the film set of "Across the Universe". Directed by Julie Taymor, to be released in theatres across the country by Sony Productions Fall 2006. The movie is set in 1964-1969 and uses all Beatles music to tell the story of five main characters coming of age during those years. Yes my friends, it is a movie musical and Lisa was more than thrilled to have her one "West Side Story" moment as a dancer (heres to many more, that SAG pay is outrageous). I was cast as a dancer, look for me in the "Come Together" scene where all the hippies are dancing in the street and a storm comes and rains on us all. As you can tell by all the coats in the photos it was f'in freezin' when we shot this! They wigged me so I may be hard to pick out, we'll see when the movie comes out eh? Woo Hoo! Celebrity cameos in the movie include: Joe Cocker, Eddie Izzard, Salma Hayek, and Bono. I'll keep everybody posted with the actual release date when it arrives.
