"TODAY, I WILL KNOW EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE!"

I say this statement every single morning before I get out of bed and it couldn't have rang more true than it did this past Saturday evening at our home in Van Nuys where EVERY person who walked through our door truly was and is extraordinary.

I want you all to know how much you blessed me on Saturday (some of you into Sunday J ) Your energy, inspiration and love was just outstanding and I couldn't think of any other people to spend a Saturday night with.

My goal with our connecting is pretty simple…To do great things in this world that needs people like ourselves. The majority of us are in this business because we are creative artists and we want to make an impact in people's lives through laughter or shock or deep thought or just to feel good and make people ponder on what was said or acted.

I will be sending out weekly 'Extra Blasts' to all of you to keep you updated about what's going on in the 'World of Extras' any news or updates or information that could be useful to any of us to grow and move forward with our own personal vision and the visions of others.

With this in mind, I encourage you all to keep us informed of any shows you may be in or where you may be dancing (ie: Sexy Tyler this Thursday at TigerHeat). I will also let you all know where Jester Bob and I may be hanging out or what shows we'll be attending…(I'll list some things at the end of this email.)

We are setting up an actual domain name for "E.C.F.T.N." this week and we want to have all of your photos on there as the 'Stars' of this outreach. I'll share more about that soon. Photos for people to click on and then they can read about each of you…where you're from…your stories..your dreams, etc…we're creating our own little 'show' of wonderful people who are going the 'Extra' mile to make difference in the world…

So, in regards to E.C.F.T.N. I am looking for someone to design a 'pin' that each of you will receive to wear or take with you where ever you go. There are two ideas that I am tossing around and I would love to know if any of you can design things like this.

We'd like the pin to be about the size of the AIDS ribbons, et al…and I was first thinking of a gold can that sparkled…then I thought of a 'crushed' gold can instead. Jester Bob really liked that idea. I'd love to see what both of them look like. I think the crushed one is 'clever' but may not be read properly…I would put the letter "E" on the pin as well. Any thoughts about this would be great. Maybe use both?

So, again, if any of you have this wonderful talent of designing or artistic flairs, please let me know as soon as you 'can'. J

Secondly, if you can all email me your full information as well just so I have it on file that would be awesome too. Some of the writings I can't read and it would be great just to keep it on file. And please don't worry, your information will never be shared with anyone. Only Jester Bob and I will have access.

I will be completely the pledge this week and sending out to my publicist who will get it out to over 200 publications in Los Angeles alone for us. When the pledge is complete it will have all of our names on it and each month we'll have an updated list of people who have signed on to help us out.

I would like to have something again at the house for the holidays and I'm thinking it may be around the 29^th of December. This way, the holiday rush is over and we can chill out and relax and enjoy the 5 Christmas trees and endless decorations at the house. (It makes Halloween look tiny). J

I am open to suggestions for activities for us all to do so please feel free to drop me a line.

I am also recommending that you all sign up for myspace (I know some of you are hesitant and I understand that so no pressure). It's just a great place to stay connected as a whole. I will be setting up a 'contact group' on myspace when I figure out how to do it. J

Now for the fun stuff for the coming week. And again, Please let us know what's going on with all of you. Shows you're in, on stage, tv, etc…It's very important that we support each other, in word and deed. Consider all of us family. The more we support each other, the more support we get…it's a win/win situation.

Here's what's going on this week: And remember, please feel free to join us at any of these venues if you have the time so we can stay connected and constantly rekindle the fire.

Mystery Mike is on Lifetime (crying a LOT) on the LISA WILLAMS: WALKS AMONG THE DEAD. I think it's at 8 pm.

Jester Bob and Mystery Mike are going to see their friend, Allison Ingrim (Nellie Olsen, from Little House on the Praire) in a wonderful play at The ACME COMEDY THEATRE at 8 pm….the # to call for 'discount' tickets is 323-525-0202.

VOTE (FOR THE LOVE OF YOURSELF!)

4 PM: Mystery Mike is going to the Megan Mullally show in Hollywood. I have 3 tickets left if anyone is interested in joining me. The cast of "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" is on. And I'm hoping to let Megan know about ECFTN.

10 PM: Our friend, Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie fame) is doing an Acustic show at Genghis Cohen 740 N. Fairfax Ave Los Angeles. If you can make it by to support this talent, that would be awesome.

Sexy Tyler will be dancing at TigerHeat. We're trying to go if there isn't an early call time for Friday. Please email Tyler for details at sexybacktyler1@aol.com

That's it for now. As always, I do encourage you all to do any sort of volunteer work on a weekly basis. If you find the time; even an hour a week; it will change your life. I do some work with The Life Group LA www.thelifegroupla.org and I was asked on Saturday to Chair their next event happening now called "Angels In LA" and since all of you ARE Angels already, maybe it's something to check out.

And on a fun note, my friend Sunnie Rose (founder of The Life Group LA) sent over this note to me this past week. I was flattered and hesitant and then I thought, "What the heck!"
