Time for an update
I finally built another show. It’s been a year and a half but I guess I still got it. It was the season announcement rollout for our new season at Broadway San Diego. www.broadwaysd.com/shows.php check it out. We had 2 local media celebrities Kimberly King and Terry Burhans as our announcers. Both weather and traffic people. They were great—they are pros. Give them a script and they read it like they own it. We had videos of the shows that we have upcoming. And we had performances from the 3 of the 4 original Plaids from Forever Plaid http://www.foreverplaidthemovie.com/foreverplaid.html and the cast from Altar Boyz http://www.altarboyz.com There is so much talent in this show, and it’s such a fun concept. A Christian boy band--Catholic to be more precise. I can’t wait till they’re in San Diego. (tongue firmly place in cheek!)
Just watched Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. He’s an absolute genius. And also just saw an Bill Maher on Politically Incorrect. Another outstanding American pointing out all of our flaws and foibles. These people would have been called curmudgeons in an earlier time. I wonder if they’d like being called modern curmudgeons? Hmmmm.
I’m not a big movie goer but I’m looking forward to The DaVinci Code. The book was a great page turner (but with no payoff at the end unfortunately). The ideas aren’t terribly new but they sure are rabblerousing. Anything that flies in the face of organized religion has to be good right?

I think it's funny when people say this movie is going to be detrimental to Christianity. I haven’t read the DaVinci Code but I know what it's about. I always thought at those times religious things are really interesting. Basically stemming from the Crusades and the things stemming from there (Freemasonry and Catholic weirdness). You can basically pin point where things get warped and new ideas are born. It is certainly an interesting subject, but there is only one absolute truth.
Did you see Stephen Colbert's speech at the Press Corps Dinner from this past weekend? He's an absolute hero...
Da Vinci was ok but Angels and Demons is a much better story. Angie and I will see the flick but I'm much more giddy about still being in the middle of a superhero movie deluge. A new Superman and X-men movie in the same year? Who'da thunk?
I have not read the book so it's a toughy for me to have a comment so I guess I'm at a loss for words. I don't know if I will see the flick at the movies. Tom Hanks is a great actor though so I may get around to it. I do agree with the Briangie Code about the Superhero greatness that is to come our way.
Well, as most of you know, I'm a big fan of "don't trash it till you read it". I'll have more respect for those who hate it, if you have actually read the novel.
I read The DaVinci Code and though that it was a real page turner as well but unfortunately I really hated the ending!! If you could call it that...all that reading for nothing really. I will go and see the movie as well though. I did not have any issues with the writings about Christianity and such. Some of my friends asked if I was offended...why would I be offended...its just fiction.
