When I die the things I will miss most are
My wife's kisses.
My son's jokes and antics.
My daughter's songs and stories.
The feeling of bass strings on my fingers and the sounds they make.
Driving late at night with the radio on.
Discovering new things- especially where they shouldn't be.
Trees on the beach.
Dreaming about the perfect 1967 Dodge Charger.
An entertained audience...that I made that way.
The time right before sunset.

Got the cover art finished for the next Hot Rod Girls Save The World CD. This one is a two CD set featuring both the KsK - Soundtrack disc and Hot Rod Girls Save The World - Music & Mayhem disc. Pretty much all the music from the film.

Last night we came home a little late as we often do. We ate our dinner and settled into a little bit of TV as we often do. I went into our bedroom to get a blanket from our bed so my wife and I could get cozy on the couch. Our cats, two identical, ten year old, long haired Main Coone sisters named Ella Fitzgerald and DeeDee Bridgewater, were sleeping on our bed as the often do. Ella is the "alpha" cat and besides being a great family friend, had…

Walking out of the recording studio last night at 1AM and the snow is coming down! No warning at all. The snow was really icy and stuck immediately. So I slid on down the hill from the studio to our house (we only live four blocks from the studio) and woke my wife to show her. She was not so happy to wake up at 1AM but was diggin' the snow. She's originally from Siberia, so she has this thing for snow...ya…

Had our first pre-production meeting for
Rat Rod Rockers yesterday night. Good turn out. Looks like we will be able to get all needed locations and actors set for our August-September shooting schedule. I want this film in theaters by January 2010.

Just Posted The First Ten Minutes Of Hot Rod Girls Save The World to YouTube. This is the YouTube link-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWSV0tG4YZ0
The You Tube playback looks a bit grainy and jittery compared to the actual movie which is clean clean clean. I tried using different compressors, but it is up the way it is up...know whadeyemean? It might be the pulldown. The film was shot at 24…

Finished a little telephone interview with the incredible Rev. Horton Heat yesterday for Car Kulture Deluxe. He is currently on tour with his band- blasting through Colorado. The Rev is such an iconic figure in modern rock music I was actually a little nervous before I called him. He was most gracious and very easy to talk to. Look for the interview in an upcoming issue of Car Kulture Deluxe. Also he gave me a big big scoop on his new album...so all…

Just sent the Editor my interview with the lovely Miss Asia DeVinyl for an upcoming Car Kulture Deluxe Magazine. She is also a star in my upcoming feature Rat Rod Rockers. We start filming August-September and have our first pre-production meeting Feb 7th. This feature film is gonna be leaner and meaner than Hot Rod Girls Save The World. No Space Aliens or Zombies, just Rat Rods and Fights! Speaking of which- I can't keep the DVD's for Hot Rod Girls…

More snow night before last. Beautiful to look at, not so fun to drive in. Actually it wasn't so bad yesterday morning as I took the kids to school. Both had late starts. I think this will be a record snowfall this winter. Today is rain and wind. Finished the first new add for Hot Rod Girls Save The World last night. I am using a still of the Dahmer Gang after they beat the crap out of Jason The Pin-Head. In the film this scene is colorized, but it…

More snow yesterday. Our cars are trapped behind a three foot snow bank created by recent passes of the Snow Plows. So my wife and I went on foot to Safeway last night to buy the kids their stocking stuffers and rent a few movies. We rented the new Death Race- an excellent film, but it should have been called Twisted Metal Armageddon Prison. It had nothing in common with the original Death Race 2000 plot wise, other than the main characters pseudonyms…

Another night of snow in North Seattle- around seven solid inches of the white stuff. These two pics were taken from just outside my Recording Studio. Also got some time in on the new KsK music video for Killing Machine featuring vocalist Super Amanda. This song is featured prominently in

The Invisible Surfers CD cover art with the lovely Melinda Miles on it is finished. Photo by the ever talented David Hickey who also shot the Wild Ride! CD covers. The music is a blistering mix of surf, rock, punk and a little metal. Very original stuff. "Till That Day" comes out March 2009 on

Amazon has just added Hot Rod Girls Save The World to the DVD & Movie sales pages. It costs a little more than buying direct from us, but they have great (for the most part) customer service.

I just got (and almost sold out of) the first run of
First Edition Hot Rod Girls Save The World DVDs. This is a single disc without special features- essentially the bare bones of the film. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive with several smaller distributors grabbing up DVD's immediately to sell on their online stores.
Hot Rod Girls Save The World will be in various film festivals next year, but if you can't wait to see it on a big screen you can buy a DVD now. The links…

Hot Rod Girls Save The World. One to
SIFF (Seattle International Film festival),
AIFF (Ashland International Film Festival),
The Backseat Film Festival (Philly) and
SXSW Film Festival. Ordered some more posters for a store display I am setting up for the film and printed out cards for DVD counter top display stands (the nuts and bolts of owning a film company). I also screened several…

So our American Automakers are in deep deep shite. And now they want us American Taxpayers to loan them $25,000 billion to what- keep them afloat for another six months? A year? GM is burning through one billion a month and can't seem to figure out how to sell a car anymore. Boo f****** hoo. They even were talking about buying Chrysler to get at their cash. Now- I love American cars, especially Chrysler products and seriously would not want even my most loathed auto brand, Chevrolet, to die. I…

What a night! Thanks so much to everybody who came out last Saturday to 911 Media Arts Center for our first private screening of
Hot Rod Girls Save The World! Sorry to all the people who couldn’t get tickets. I really didn’t anticipate selling out the 75 seat theater in a week and a half! After nearly five years of work- it was an incredible feeling to see a room packed with people cheering, laughing and clapping to my little hot rod film. One of the best nights of my life! Judging by…
