Hey Billy!
I haven't blogged in a while and thought that I would up-date you on my news. Tony Husar and I got to act together again. A guy in Cody was looking for male actors in their 20's to do a short film and he picked up Tony and I out of the Community Theatre group here. I got the lead part. The film was called "Proud Sins" and was about a WWII Marine with post-traumatic stress syndrome who keeps having flashbacks to his WWII combat. Tony's character got killed pretty quickly though when he got shot in the head and his brains splattered all over my face. I finally got to do some combat-performing and it was pretty fun. The film was entered into the NCHS Film Festival and brought home Best Sound Design, Best Cinematography, Best Picture and Best Actor for Miles Mathews! Western Wyoming College was well represented. Anyway, it was fun and I think that I like film acting! The outfit that produced the film, Cactus Film Productions is expecting a deal to do short western films for the Outdoor Channel. If that comes through Tony and I have been offered jobs with that as well! On other news, I was awarded a Graduate Assistantship for University of Wyoming for the coming year and will be specializing in Pre-1900 American Military and Political History. I am on a short vacation right now in Idaho visiting Justin and Lara, and am trying to get them to go blogging! We'll see! Well, not much else going on. I hope that you and Colleen are well and enjoying the summer as it gets going. Talk to ya' later!

Here we are again...
Konnichiwa!
Well, it's that time of year again when a young man's mind turns to poetry...tomorrow night is the competition to decide who will represent our venue in Dallas at the National Poetry Slam, and yours truly will be fighting it out with 7 other poets for a spot on that team. So, cross fingers, toes, eyes, whatever, and send your best vibes way way down Texas way for me. Good seeing Lisa on her way down here a couple of months ago, and popping in on Colleen, Billy n' Nate was really good for my soul. Hoping to get down there again in July. The lake house is amazing, by the way...Really happy to see Autumn on the blog (and I will write you back soon, AAA) and hoping more can be tracked down. Remember, iffn you've got myspace, let us know so we can hook up with ya cyberwise. Love to y'all, we'll see ya soon.

Happy Holidays!
Hey everyone! Wanted to say happy holidays to everyone whether you're celebrating Easter or Passover.
Are the wild flowers out down there in Texas yet, Billy? It's slowly been becoming more spring like up here. Last night, I saw the new Kander & Ebb musical "Curtains". It was a fun show--sort of a murder mystery about a cast putting on a show. The show within the show was a western version of Robbin' Hood. They had one number in the show within a show that could have come straight out of the Fandangle!
A few weeks ago, we did our annual Law Revue show. I was a director and we had a lot of fun. I wrote several of the parody songs including a choreographed version of Cell Block Tango with the girls killing law professors (pictured above). I also made my debut as a composer/lyricist with one small song called "The Only Jew". I don't have video of my performances during the show yet, but I do have some videos that we made for the show as transitions, etc.
In this I do the voice of Beavis, the man on the platform, and Mrs. P. We had this specially animated for our show.
Barton Beebe's Intellectual Property Cobra Kai Dojo (I'm in this one breaking real boards.)
I also made this Star Wars spoof intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqQeQ_Tr2NQ
Joe in a Book- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvj-0TAzK4U
And what Pres. Bush would be like at our commencement:
Hope you all are doing well!

Hey ya'll
Hey there. Just wanted to say that I became part of the Community Theatre group in Rock Springs--The Actors' Mission. I am in the play written by a local called Mother's Day. It's set in the 80s and 90s and I am the daughters best friend. It should be fun. It has been a while since I did any acting hehe, but it will be fun.
