Well one of the projects is an emotional coaching parenting program for survivors of domestic violence so I HOPE none of you get to see that one.

The pilot is called “Book Club” and will be promoted online hopefully by late spring. We film next month. I only down side is that I was cast as "the heavy set one" but evidently I'm not heavy enough so I will probably be padded...so much for glamour of acting.
I turn 40 today so this acting gig is a nice b’day present.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

11? Wow, that's good, but not good enough for first place?

Is that all ya got, Marshay? Push yourself!!!

 

[Marshay]

Laptop and wi-fi, great idea HMF!

Now, how do I make that actually work . . . ?


In case you didn't read my post from earlier today, I had a 1:00 meeting at starbucks. I took some of my business cards with me and handed one to every person in the place - specifically focusing on the ones with computers in front of them (gotta love the starbucks wi-fi). Several of them took the time right there to log in and check out my video. I can't guarantee that they voted, but I know they laughed!

Great job! And for sharing this cute little story with us, I promise 10 votes right now!

 

[Justin M]

I'm in!!!!

Nice! Marshay's already clocked in at 11 votes in 60 seconds. Can you beat that?

Thanks! I've gotten quite used to people pointing and laughing over the years, so I'm now able to focus on the fact that at least they're having a good time!

Which counter are you refering to? Is there one that is constantly updating so we can see totals?

Yes, on the main Disney page on the right-hand side

 

[Justin M]

Yes, on the main Disney page on the right-hand side

Yeah, I just caught that. I haven't been hitting that page much, so the counter was a new development for me!

That's my problem too. How does that Pirate know everything about everything??!!

Well at somewhere like a Starbucks or Panera that would have free Wi-Fi, the connection is easy enough..... its the approaching strangers with a laptop that would prove tough.

(Yep! I was thinking of Panera, too! ) Some McDonald's locations now have Wi-Fi as well.

And, about approaching strangers: This contest truly isn't for the shy types or faint of heart, huh?!

Wow Kenny, smart idea to use the school computer lab and host a party, no wonder you made it! Maybe some of the top ten don't want to say all of the things they are doing because they don't want all of the contestants to run out with the same idea??

 

[FirstTimeCaller]

You can't imagine what a blast it was. We were like rockstars who owned the place. Everyone would turn to their kid and point at us, "Look pirates!"

Oh yeah? Well, us Haunted Mansion servants were pretty popular too! I remember one touching moment when the butlers were all marching single file towards the mansion, our capes blowing in the breeze, and a young gentleman perked up and pointed at us saying "Hey it's those Harry Potter dudes!"

Agreed!

Guess b/c they're not really rules for him...ya know, more like guidelines

That's funny! Did you guys have a hard time staying in character the whole time? I know I would make a terrible Haunted Mansion Butler because I laugh too easily.

Try BACKSPACE. It works in Firefox on a PC... your mileage may vary.

Ooops! Wrong theme park!?

Isn't there soon supposed to be a "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" mini-theme park within that other Park-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named?

Not so far! I've been trying and can only get 10.

It was hard not having a big old grin all the time. I gave up trying after a while and figured the heck with it -- I'll be a non-surly servant that enjoys his job.

It wasn't tough being gloomy/creepy in the portrait corridor though. The atmosphere just sorta lends itself...
