It was forty years ago, on September 8, 1966, "Star Trek" first appeared on TV!

And then, forty years of my life was wasted...

Here's Shatner's sex tape with Angie Dickenson just to celebrate!

This is a big month for acting with me gearing up like many people here are, for Actorfest 2006!

Today I was preparing for another Workshop shoot in Burbank and Atwater Village that stated at 10AM.

Aaron called and had broken two teeth that needed to be removed immediately. So I ran over to pick him up and take him to get both teeth ripped out. They drugged him till he was uberloopy and all scary crazy.

His face was packed with gauze, but blood was still pouring out of his face. Gross!

I made it back to the Workshop secret location just in time to wait for 11 actors be late for the class. Nice!

I was reading my friend David's thoughts over at GreenCine Daily talking about the black comedy "Expiration Date" and it's director Rick Stevenson's distribution tactic with the film playing at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on September 14, and why he believes regional filmmaking will play a major role in the future of indies.

Then I commented that there was a moment at the beginning of Patton Oswalt's documentary/performance film "The Comedians of Comedy" where he talks about using the Punk Band model.

All these little clubs that were set up for bands and how they loaded up the bus of comics to hit those regional venues.

I would love to be part of a small group of filmmakers in a bus with our movies going town to town making our own festivals and hitting the clubs like the Suicide Girls, but you know... with movies!

Maybe when the price of gas goes down... Huh?

Hey Jerry,

That's already happening: at Microcinemas, regular movie theaters, alternative screening venues. Filmmakers are touring with their movies the way punk bands tour with their act/live show. See my blog for more info.

I think it's high time a movie about a band of filmmakers hitting the road showing their films and banging the hot patrons in the small towns that lay on the tour, while they try and raise money to save a church from being destroyed like in the "Blues Brothers" or something like that...

I should write that!
