Steel of Fire Entertainment Nugs

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing my friends Kevin and Travis' new epic feature "Steel of Fire Warriors 2010 AD" at the Grand Illusion. If you have a chance to check it out you should. It is playing tonight at 11pm and then I'm sure it will be screening other places in Seattle at some point. Episodes from it (it was shot in segments) are available on funnyordie.com

Kevin and Travis host the Entertainment Show at the Sunset Tavern in Ballard where Friends of Julius will be premiering a new sketch on December 23rd. More details soon.

Also, read nug life. It's a good blog that one of my peeps writes for.

Our First (part of a) Sketch.

ENJOY!

"The Doghouse": Coming Soon

So while we were twiddling our thumbs waiting for clips from "Tales of the U.S.S. Black Unicorn" to get online...Bobby and I decided start working on a new web series called "The Doghouse".

The script for the first episode is currently being fine tuned and we are hoping to begin shooting in the next month or so. Stay tuned.

That's my buddy Michael Solis from NY working his magic in a new video from NYC sketch group "Gentleman Caller". You can check out more of their stuff at www.gentlemancallercomedy.com

Enjoy!

P.S-Somebody in the library is living foul up in here. Wash yo ass, son.

So that's done.

I was a Lumberjack for Halloween. Aren't you impressed?

I have nothing else to say.

Hmmmm

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been in a nest of darkness following my unexpected departure from my job. You know that one that only weeks ago I was saying I was lucky to have because I could at least pay the rent and bills cause of it? Yeah, that one. I'd like to publicly say right now: "Fuck Steve Beren. He is a bald and sexist piece of shit".

So there's that.

FOJ is sort of taking a wee break as Sam is going to Mexico next week and we sort of exhausted a lot of material on "Tales of the U.S.S. Black Unicorn". We should be back in action at the end of November with some new material and trying to book a live show is being discussed as well.

Catch you on the flip flop.

"Much Ado About Nothing"

If I were to write my autobiography right now I would have to bite the Bard's style and call it "Much Ado About Nothing". It sort of seems to sum up my existence right now. Busting my ass to shoot sketches, write stories/screenplays, generally do awesomeness and nobody else seems to really give a shit. Perhaps it's just a symptom of our society right now. After W. fucked over our affairs so badly nobody has time to write a stranger and go "hey, your movie was really good. Thanks for making it". It doesn't even have to be positive, even "hey, you are doing some good work but here is where you are lacking. Make the following changes...." would be nice. I know I'm not some sort of unqualified genius.

Maybe I need a mentor of some sort? I wish I could just write Paul F. Tompkins and be like "let me live in your basement and just tell me how to get noticed and be on point all the time like you. You can just feed me bread and water. It's cool".

I know it's not exactly cool to complain and I know it's been done to death and truth of the matter is that my life is pretty good. I have a decent job that pays the bills/rent, free movies (both on video and theatrical releases), a small but great group of friends and a nice house with a great roommate.

It's just a bit discouraging at the end of the day to find no missed calls, no e-mails, no nothing encouraging me to not just settle, marry a fatty and move to the suburbs. Sigh. Never has a word has so much meaning for me than "sigh" right now. It sums up me at the moment. I wish I could just answer with a sigh when somebody asks me how I'm doing.

"How are you, Jason?"

I respond with a sigh.

"Uhhh...Ok? I'm going to just go now".

I gotta stuff my sorries in a sack, Mister. Maybe push-ups is the answer? Just do push-ups out in a cabin in the woods for the Winter until I am at one with the universe. It can't hurt, right?
