Erie Choir show tonight at 506

Hey Y'all,

Erie Choir isn't as secretive about it's shows. We've got one tonight at the 506 with this Benjy Ferree guy. You can watch him get interviewed by Ian Svenonius (above?). Which reminds me, didn't The Hundred or another one of Matt and David's bands play with the Make Up at Guilford once?

Is he the a killer or not?

UPDATED AGAIN - RECENT SCRIPT CHANGE - Both cast and crew needs have been updated from previous postings, so please read below.
We are seeking local cast and crew for a feature film shooting in and around Boone, NC. The film has guaranteed distribution (through either a division of Lions Gate or WB) as we have relationships with both. Great exposure for actors, great experience for crew. We plan on working hard, but having fun.
SHOOTING DATES CONFIRMED - Production shoot dates are March 12-24 with one day off (Sunday the 18th). When applying for a position, please let us know your availability for those dates. Crew who are available the entire shoot get top priority.

THE MOVIE: low-budget indy horror film set in the woodlands of the south. Friday the 13th meets Deliverance.

CAST:
NON UNION Actors are asked to submit a headshot and resume via the craigslist email link provided in this posting. If we think you physically embody a character in the script, we will contact you in for a reading when the production arrives in Boone (at the beginning of March). We are specifically looking for the following:
1) JOHN (caucasian)- Lives in the moment. Good time, partying frat boy, early 20's. Would sleep with his friend's girlfriend if he had the chance (think "Steve Stiffler" 'from American Pie').

2) JAMIE (caucasian) - Good time partying sorority sister, early 20's. Beautiful and light hearted. She's fresh out from under her parents thumb and just wants to experience everything. Looks to John to show her how to party. (note: nudity is required for this role)

3) MINDY (caucasian) - Good time partying sorority sister. Busty, blonde, beautiful and BFF forever with Jamie. Not the brightest bulb. Lives for the moment and doesn't have a care in the world. (note: nudity is required for this role)

4) ZEEK (character actor type - caucasian male) - 20's - 30's. Local Yokel drifter. Dirty, sloppy, creepy in a "deliverance" kind of way. He'll stalk our good time college group in the woods.

5) STEVE (caucasian) early 20's, college. Wannabe Frat boy. A hanger-on. Attractive, but awkward. Steve is the kind of guy who's smart and will likely go far in life, but for now, really wants to cut loose and party. He wants to run in the same circles as John and spends his parents wealth to help him get there.

7) RANGER MAXWELL (caucasian) 40's - 50's. CREEPY doesn't begin to describe his energy. The big question will be, is he the a killer or not? MUST be a well versed actor, able to convey a feeling with a look and be able to monologue a ghost story in a frightening, compelling way.

8) JASON (caucasian) - early 20's. Frat boy friend of John's. Unfortunately for Jason, it will cost him his life. Actor needs to sell fear and be able to die a good death (smiles).

Actors please submit resumes/headshots via email and hardcopy to: fixed point films attn: the deranger 8899 beverly blvd. suite 400 los angeles, ca 90048


CREW- (film students are welcome to apply)
1) GAFFER AND GRIPS
2) FIRST AD
3) FIRST AC
3) LOCATION SOUND RECORDIST - Experience required. People with their own equipment (Booms, LAVS, Mixer, etc.) get top priority.
4) MAKEUP - We need a makeup/effects person. Must have your own kit and be willing to do practical makeup along with EFX stuff. Majority of work is action oriented blood gags (ie. blood sprays from opened wounds). EFX Makeup is mostly wound oriented. Please submit portfolio samples via email.
5) PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS - We need PA's that are willing to work on set, doing whatever will be needed. Experience isn't nessary, but is a plus. Great opportunity to boost your resume or get practical, hands-on set experience. PA's with experience could find themselves promoted to more responsible positions (which would look great on IMDB).

Again, this is a low budget indy production. The budget is tight, but if film is in your blood, this is a great opportunity to get your foot in the door. If you are interested in any other position not listed above, feel free to contact us as well. Thanks.

Pony

I saw the fantastic band Audubon Park last night at Cat's Cradle. They ended their set with Ginuwine's "Pony", a song that makes you want to like, ride something...The lead singer said prior to the song, "You're going to be more horny than you've ever been after this song!" I guess so...Rah Bra's out of Richmond have been covering this song for nine years and in more recent years the beautiful blond woman on keyboards has been exposing more of her cleavage while performing this song...I'm not trying to overlook her artistic integrity, I'm just saying she's showing a lot of damn cleavage while slamming her hips against her keyboard while singing a song about riding a damn pony (add to that the drummer is usually half naked and grinding on the floor), but Audubon Park were um, funny. I'd like to thank David Nahm for allowing me to write on his blog. Thank you.

Fans to AP: "You're playing a show tonight!"

Announcing New Tropic of Food Junior Associate

The Tropic of Food, and Tropic of Food related management concern, are proud to announce the addition of 2007's newest junior staff member of the Tropic of Food writing team:

CY RAWLS!

Give him applause. This will be a banner year. Perhaps a good way to welcome him is to begin a comment thread of Cy Rawls stories.

Mgmt.

Give Fred a chance.

We just refinanced the Big House with this guy, and we don't even own the place. That's how smooth he is.

Potential 2007 Great Cover-Up suggestion for Mr. Burr

"You can say I'm trippin' but I'm Stingy and I can't hide it
Wanna keep you all to me--I'm selfish, why try to fight it?
You're the only one--you're the only love that's strong enough to claim me.
So please forgive me;
I'm just Stingy.
But how can you blame me?"

Time 1--Finn 0

Richie Blackmore weighs in from 1974

...with David Coverdale on vocals for the first time in the Purple repertoire.

LeBurn and Shirley

This is real music for the soul of man and the heart of women.

I recommend "Too Old to Rap," as well as the built-in on-all-the-time game where every time you click the mouse it's like you're blowing up the website.

watercolor revolution baseball card jowl

Monet and Picasso Connect the Dots

A la "Meditations," Ben's John Coltrane to Finn's Pharaoh Sanders. The old guard, still avant, meets the new. Co-exists with. Harmonizes with. Classically radical next to shattering new primitive instinct.

You look retarded? I look violated, beaten, barely breathing. Having shown the way, I give thanks. But this is the new. A derivation, to be sure. But still, technically, a revolution. From dissonance to duck sounds: you shook your head, your face, your skin...They shake me.

Scenes from a Burn III

Robert's keyboard after being knocked over after the Hamilton show when Finn forgot the Golden Rule: "Always take it off the stand first." The splintering sounds were particularly forlorn.

A pink Toronto sky.


Ghost Chuck on the streets of Toronto.


The stairs we had to carry all our stuff up in Toronto. The doorman didn't show up, so we had to work the door. While I was doing this after our set, 7 dwarves (I'm not kidding) entered the club, insisting they were on the guestlist (they weren't). One was from Canada, and the rest were from the US, with the "Austin City Rockettes".


Robert had too much to drink and vomited a stream of light.


Cats Vol.3: Toronto. Robert lets his guard down and shows love for a feline.


If I had known about this place, I could have saved a lot of money instead of going to Duke for this shit.


Josh backstage in Hamilton with Sonic Unyon publicity czar Sean Palmerston.


And last but not least.....a blues band in Windsor (not at the club we played at). The Infectious Blues Band has competition.

Cats Vol.1: Chicago. This one was friendly.


Cats Vol.2: Cleveland. This one was not. You can't see him in the video since we couldn't turn any lights on (you actually can't see shit), but just listen for that growl.

Today, the Canadian border is to be crossed. Let's hear it for that exchange rate!

Preview of Nein "The Making of Luxury" DVD

While the rest of the band is out getting "lunch," Suite RB puts on a pair of Finn's camouflage shorts and pays homage to everything that made him (RB, not Finn) what he (still RB, not Finn) is. That's after working out a little with the weights in the background, of course.

NOT SAFE FOR WORK because of the first nine seconds only.
