I posted my pictures from the Midnight Madness performance of Shock Treatment, nearly 400 pictures. I will eventually edit these down an leave up only the good pictures, but for now they are all up.

Most of you know that this last weekend I was in Chicago for the Midnight Madness showing of Shock Treatment. I wanted to thank everybody involved, it was the most fun I've had performing Shock Treatment ever!

I hope to get back to Chicago to see one of the last performances of the Pink Invaders. This should be in October, depending on what Shawn ( Read more... )

Ruth and I finally got our new car, a Toyota Prius. This is one of those hybrid cars that are half gas, half electric. It's been getting about 49 mpg. So we are a two car family again (me, Ruth, and the Rocky Collection).

My school is growing. I got my 5th student last night. Last weekend I went to the KICK USA tournament. I took 1st in ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm still alive. I am still teaching karate, next Thursday I'm teaching a women's self defense class. I also have another job, I'm the Registrar at the Plymouth Co. Museum. Basically, I catalog, mark, and store new items and keep track of all the item the museum has.

Oh, by the way I'll be at the PI show on April 2nd.

Things are going well here in Iowa. Our cast has decided on the name Strokes of Midnight. The audience is averaging around 40 people a week. Sometimes they know a lot of AP, sometime they as silent as the grave, but they always seem to enjoy the show.

I'm teaching Martial Arts in the old gym of the museum. I have 3 students, with a couple more ( Read more... )

This week the museum agreed to let me rent their gym to teach karate. They are located in an old high school and they only need the gym a few times a year. Although I won't get as much exposure as I would with a store front, it will give me more space then I will ever need.

Marty came through this week and sent me 2 new CD's of Saucy Jack from ( Read more... )

Finally got my computer back together. I crashed and I had to rebuild it. I've been sending out a few resumes, but the Le Mars area doesn't have much in the way of jobs for computer programmers. Hopefully my karate school will open on November 1st. That's if the museum gets their act together and decides if they will rent me their gym. We ( Read more... )

I've been spending most of this last week getting insulation and insulating my new attic. I also got a few chances to go work out at the YMCA. They won't rent me space to teach classes, but, as a member, they can't stop me from working out in full uniform.

Rocky this weekend was fun. Lots of my old D&D friends showed up and performed. Although ( Read more... )

Ruth and I are performing at the Joyo Theater in Lincoln, NE. This is the closest theater to Le Mars, Iowa. The theater we used to perform at, Billy Joe's Pitcher Show, is about 30 min further. We also have friends and family around Lincoln, so we have free places to stay after the show.

One of my friends from college showed up at the show ( Read more... )
