Update #1: Time to get the word out!

Posted on September 16, 2009

Thanks to F'kir for helping me out by shooting the promo video.
Now that it's in place, I'm (finally!) starting to broadcast this page to everybody...
Tell your friends to pledge. You know you want this calendar, and they do too.

People are submitting images (and I might post one now and again as they come in). Our photo shoot next week is getting organized. It's an exciting period in the life of this project.

Only 13 days - and $1200 to raise. We can do it.

Let's get this calendar printed!

A physical actor, writer and artist based in San Francisco. This is a very early version of an artistic biography... Summarizing my whole life in the time I can give to this is not happening. So - here's a snapshot of Monday, August 24, 2009, the day I joined Kickstarter.

In the evening, I met with a friend I have known since pre-school. For years, both of us have been writing novels about a chain of insane mental institutions that take over the world... once upon a time, these books were the same project, and we were collaborating intensively. Now he lives on the east coast, and we only connect every few months.

Earlier in the day, I did administrative work for the Butoh Swimsuit Calendar project. That's something I would like to become a kickstarter project. We're accepting submissions through September 26th, 2009, if anyone's interested... drop me a line.

In the morning, I did location scouting for the acrobatic stilt workshop I will be teaching here in San Francisco, near the end of September. And before that, I helped get my two little nephews ready for pre-school.

That'll do for now.
