Yesterday…
- the crew celebrated the end of ML Season 2. Well really, the end of all Season 2 pre-production, with the final batch of episodes having been shipped overseas for animation. That brings us up to 39 episodes.(See an episode listing on CN.com’s Mucha Lucha website )
Sal Soul & Boogie Dan/ JIVE TURKEY EXPERIENCE
© 2004 Fwak! Animation- Eddie and I were introduced to potential Writers for our new concept in development - (note: the stuff on this webpage is very out of date.) We met with three different personalities, with three totally different approaches to the concept. All entertaining! It’s going to be a tough choice and we still have more writers to meet next week…
- We had drinks at the Tonga Hut with Lisa (visiting from Atlanta), George Krstic (creator of Cartoon Network’s Megas XLR, formerly known as “Lowbrow”) and his partner, Sue.Very cool people!
As for the Tonga Hut, it received a glowing review in the LA Weekly a while back - which is why we decided to check it out. ( Tiki-Ti is also closed at the moment) The Tonga Hut decor has two big Moais – one inside, one outside – and a bamboo bar. But it also has electronic darts games, a popcorn machine and a sports channel playing on a TV above the bar which totally kills any sort of South Seas ambience the place might have had… Anyhow, the drinks were cheap and our friendly bar waitress was Translyvanian.
- News flash: Newline is remaking Hairspray. What?? John Waters’ Hairspray is perfect as it is. Why does it need to be remade??

Congratulations LA babes on your second season.
Just heard this on RadionNZ as I sit here fiddling with closing details of a new site to help local (Blue Mtns) artists sell their work online :
“Retro-sexual – someone who wants to look like Burt Reynolds”

Just noticed the Ray Harryhausen link – I was lucky enough to meet him at Silicon Pulp gallery in Sydney.
Was so rapt by his stuff as a kid, dreamed of doing a grrrrls Jason, then found a story when I was 22 that fit the bill.
He signed the front cover of that story for me. One day!!

I remember that event with RH in Sydney… I also remember not being able to make it because of work or some other reason…
