Funny how I thought I had posted something yesterday and never did it. Real Life is ready to go out there, the 17 minute movie is my first and makes the acting debut of our very own Sabrina! Also check out my story on the anti-war rally here in Toronto.

A very busy week and week to come. This is very hard on me but I would not have it any other way. We are really living life at this moment.....

I am still pleased with how the Real Life Mini-movie is coming along. I am also looking for the best way to launch the thing. I also wanted to accomplish much today but that fell through, and there is no point in pushing things at this time of the night. We will just have to try tomorow.....

Things are happening here.....

Much is going on here and this may be the most dynamic moments of our organization. Current activities will determine what happens to this organization in the next few months. I love this place, this fortress of creative people, which is what we have here. This last refuge of free expression of which I have any control. I am a cold war child and value these freedoms that seem to be forgotten these days. Many pay lip service to them now, but I believe in them. So I am a dinosaur a relic of sorts. Yet I really want this place to continue, I think we have much to contribute to the world through venues like ours.....

Thinking large and yet we are this small little company. We will just have to wait and see how everything shakes out.....

Unless one of the other members has an earlier receipt; then I think this one goes down as our first retail sale!

I spent all night getting the next issue of the newsaper ready for printing.....and I need to sleep.....

Just gearing myself up for another go at the paper. Today I will probably be driving around and relaxing for a few hours before everything shuts down for Easter Sunday. After three years the youthfulness and newness of everything is gone and money and such are paramount. I intend the corporations to continue, no question about that so the physical existence and the funding to keep an apparatus that is growing has to be addressed now. This can be interesting in it's own right - nah.....just boring but a necessary part of what is going on here.

This type of thing is totally boring to the musicians and other creative people but is the guts of what gets them out there. Anyway, I am too old to start something like this up again so we are having a go at it.....

The long weekend is over and I have a paper to take to the printers.....

After some marathon sessions the paper is off to the printers!

I have also secured davegetchell.com and we will see if eventually we go to the .com from the .ca - we have both right now.

I am also going to "zone out for R&R" every now and then to keep stress down. I still handle it great but nobody is a superman and I had better get into a habit. A walk usually is good enough and just watching TV can do it. We are in this for the long haul so that is my plan at this time.....

I find it funny after all these decades, that that paper now show it's face, and to some of my original professors......
