It's April already folks...can't ya tell? All the blooming flowers and all that spring-y crap?! What?! No...oh that's right we don't have any of that in Sacramento as it's been raining 40 days and 40 nights, meanwhile I've been busy building an ark to survive.
*ALOHA!*
So it was a good...busy month! I just got back from Hawaii where it was sunny for a whole day I was there, rest of the time it just rained and RAINED!!! Other than that, my comedy troupe "I Can't Believe it's not Comedy" wrapped up two months of nearly all sold out shows, thanks to everyone who came out to support us! Next up, our troupe is working on performing at the NY Sketch Fest, we hoping it will all work out, and were also currently working on some short sketch films...heck! Check out the 'video/film' section next to see the short video sketch we used for our last show :)
*MY LIFE AS A GAMESHOW HOST!*
I just finished the winter tour for Disney's Recycle Rex show playing a game show host! We toured the childrens show throughout California for three months and were now taking a break for the summer, life on the road with a 7 foot dinosaur has been, well interesting!
*VAGINA!*
And without a weekend off, I started the second run of Vagina Monologues in March, the show is with the all original cast, we performed this show a year ago and it ran for nearly a year selling out all the shows, which was great since we are doing lot's of benefits for WEAVE and other groups. Our production of Vagina Monologues was the longest running production of the show ever done! We running for only a few more weekend so if you haven't checked us out yet you can reserve your tickets at www.sacactors.com but most of the shows are already sold out but we should have some tickets left!
*TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE-STAGED!*
After I finish my run with Vagina Monologues I'm starting a run with a staged version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacres at a theater in SF! As most know I'm a HUGE horror/ gore fan so I'm super excited about this show. The SF theater group that is putting the show on is called The Primative Screwheads, they also did a staged version of Re-animator and Evil Dead, the theater capacity is 300 and they all sell out! For our show Fangoria Magazine is coming out opening weekend and a lot of the SF press so were really excited about the buzz! The best part is, each show is guaranteed to have 12 gallons of blood! For reals! Anyone sitting in the front rows are sure to leaved drenched, hey, that's better than sitting in the front row for the dolphin show at Marine World!
*CEMETARY POGO!*
In other horror news, the music video I was in for the Secretions-shot and directed by horror filmmaker Jonathan Morken- was picked up by Fangoria magazine for a DVD compilation the magazine is putting out, I also start work on another film project with Jonathan at the end of the month!
*HARRAHS CASINO, OUR SLOTS ARE LOOSER!*
I recently signed a contact with Harrahs for a new nightclub/ bar/ casino / hotel to do their billboards/ print and commercials. We had the first shoot last weekend and it was a ton of fun! So next time your driving to Reno you can see my silly mug on the billboards along the way!
*ME AND A MIDGET!*
This weekend I'm going to be shooting a commercial for Go West insurance...hmm...this should be interesting, the other actor in the commercial with me is a midget that has been in a few of Quentin Tarrantino's films...you can imagine my reaction when I was told the commercial was me and a midget...ah showbiz!
*USE A CONDOM, AW C'MON!*
Okay besides all this some other ridiculous projects I have coming up include a national print ad being put out by the California Health and Sex Awareness Board encouraging couples to talk to their partners about using condoms..I'm not making this up! I don't even know what the photo shoot for the print ad will consist of me doing?! I'm like, am I going to be holding a condom up to my 'partner' being like "Gee, you really ought ta put this on" with a grimace on my face? Oh brother....
*DIE GESCHICHTE CHANEL!*
I also recently got cast in a documentary for The History Chanel, I'll be playing the Red Barrons German girlfriend, the best part is, some of my line are in German! FINALLY! I'll get to use some of my German for acting!
*EASY ABS!*
As if my acting gigs couldn't get any weirder. I got cast in a infomercial for 'Easy Abs' I'll be the host of the show. Ya know those mid day infomercials you see Tony Little on demonstrating and trying to sell you a piece of at home fitness equipment...yeah, that's what I'll be doing. So call the 800 number on your screen and well talk!
Outside of acting, I'm going to be doing a SF fashion show in May, and I'm going to London and Sweden in May...where I don't count on it being any warmer!
DO YOU HAVE PLANS THIS WEEKEND?
If not check out this rock and roll show I have booked at Old Ironsides!

FIRST KLOSS PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS!!!
This Saturday night! Don't miss it!!
RED PLANET! * MACHINE GREEN! * VA VA VOOM!
RED PLANET! (on Gearhead Records) yup...these guys haven't played in Sacramento in over a year but good golly they are finally back!! These guys are perhaps one of the best purveyors of power pop to ever visit Sacramento! Yeah! The boys have been compared in print to everyone from Big Star, The Easybeats and the Real Kids to Van Halen, Def Leppard and The Dictators(!) but comparisons to The Boys, Buzzcocks, The Cars, Cheap Trick, The Only Ones, Redd Kross, The Replacements, Supergrass and Undertones are as valid as ever. With such a wide range of influences, you'll just have to draw your own conclusions, but know that this is rock and roll in it's purest form, and it will, in fact, rock you.

PLUS! From Chico, MACHINE GREEN, who bring pop, new wave and rock influences to their sound! They had a great response and turn out in shows past, with sounds influenced by Talking Heads, The Pixies and Bowie?! You can't go wrong!
