Sorry about the updates lately not having pictures, we've been posting from computers other than our own.
Anyway, yesterday started off full force with us getting up nice and early to get ready for our interview with Mr. Charlie Rosene, a sports producer at the local NBC affiliate. Although at this point in my life, I'm not particularly interested in that type of work, and I've never followed professional sports, it was still fascinating to talk to someone on the production side. He was impressively laid back with his California beachy sunglasses, California beachy haircut, and California beachy attitude. We met him at the (evidently) famous Bill's Pancake House, where we enjoyed a top-notch breakfast, and some even top-notchier muffins. We then strolled down to Manhattan Beach for the interview. I had my first experience behind the camera, which I was pretty awesome at... except for the part where I left the camera running after I put it away... whoops. So, uh... if anyone wants to watch a half hour of a camera inside a dark backpack in a van near Manhattan Beach, I'm your guy.
After the interview, we went on a frantic search for Wi-fi so we could get directions. We ended up dropping in to the local public library hoping to use a computer, but on finding that you needed to have a library card to access the internet, we consulted the librarian. I've often wondered how people ever found anything out before google, and this librarian showed me how. He sported a wispy white haircut, suspenders, a pink buttonup shirt, a masonic ring and necklace, and bugs clipped to his cuffs and suspenders. He was the perfect librarian. He quickly looked through a book of maps, suggested a route, and we were on our way to interview Greg Killingsworth, co-founder of Killingsworth Presentations.
We arrived at his place of business with no complications, and a bit early. After meeting with Nigel, one of the marketing gurus, we sat down in the lobby, and waited for Mr. Killingsworth to finish up a high-powered business conference call. Once he was done, we started the interview which was easily the longest so far. Mr. Killingsworth was interesting becusause he is the first of our interviewees who has focused on the business side as well as the artistic side.
At this point we must hop on the road, so I'll fill in the details later. Off to Disneyland!

Easy Like Sunday Morning
Really Late
Orange, CA
Dear Reader,
I was the only one awake early on Sunday morning. There was miscommunication about what was happening, and when it was happening on Sunday. This led to the happy accident of alone time and a walk through the neighborhoods of Moorpark before the others were awake.
I used this time alone to look at the houses and the yards of pretty neighborhoods. Of course I looked at the trees and whatever wildlife happened to be around, I saw some birds and lots of bugs.
This time was also a great opportunity to talk to my Mom and Sarah Ruth on the phone. I commented to my Mom that there were a lot of potato bugs and ants on the sidewalk just walking around, and in reply she said, “it is probably because it is Sunday and they have the day off.” I loved it. I also had a great conversation with Sarah Ruth about everything under the sun and that made me happy as well. Going on this trip has been great for many reasons, and it has been nice to share aspects of it with my family and friends who are not here. When on the phone I get instant feed back. The blog is great for communication and I love that you are reading this now, but I have to admit it still feels weird to be writing these letter out to the world and not really know who is reading them or what they are thinking.
Once everyone got up, we headed to L.A. late in the day. We had an adventure disguised as being lost and eventually we decided to go shopping at H&M because Derek had never been there before and wanted some trendy clothes for cheap. The mall is never my destination of choice when traveling, but this trip is for all of us and it is good to try things that are not normally on the top of your list. I got a cool grey tank top and looked at all the bright new spring styles whiles the guys shopped for a considerable amount of time.
After the shopping we decided to catch a movie. And we caught a pretty great movie. We saw the movie 300 at the Grommans Chinese Theater. I must say for a hippie I enjoy violent movies much more than I should. I also love Spartans. The movie had a cool convention of a story being told by a bard like figure and I loved it. We engaged in a passionate discussion about what the movie meant afterwards and it was a great exercise in intellect. It made me think about some of the themes of the movie, but when it comes right down to it I still loved it, every blood covered, spear thrusting second of it… well not every second, some parts were silly, overall good movie though.
So I am almost all the way caught up now, but I need to go to bed now to get all of my rest for Disneyland tomorrow. I still need to catch up on an entry for today, Monday, but that will have to come later. I think that you have enough to read for now. When I blog again it will be about the interviews that happened today with Charlie Rosene and Greg Killingsworth. I will also have a Disneyland blog for tomorrow.
Looking forward to the castle,

Beer Shark Mice
12:50 am
Orange, CA
Dear Reader,
I faced a big fear on Saturday. That fear was David Koechner.
We had the opportunity on Saturday night to meet with the cast of Beer Shark Mice, an Improv troupe in L.A. We got to see their show and then they came up and met with us and gave us a window into their ideas of how to work as a team and advice that they feel is important for any kind of performer. Their group dynamic was amazing and we had a lot to learn from them. In addition to their work with Beer Shark Mice they all have regular acting work in L.A. You can read details in all of the Jon and Derek’s blogs.
The main thing I want to talk about is the fact that I had pre conceived ideas about David Koechner that could not have been further form the truth. His advice and passion was so raw that it kind of knocked me off my feet. I must make a confession, one that I was afraid to say before. I was behind the camera for this interview, and I volunteered to do so. The reason I chose to be behind the camera for this interview was because I was not sure how the guys from Beer Shark Mice (Especially Mr. Kechner) would be. This idea was so silly that I am embarrassed about it. However even though I am embarrassed I want to share it.
Sometimes when you see performers you judge them on their work. You equate work they have dome with their personality, and I am sure that at times those judgments are true. But they are not always true and this was proved to me on Saturday night. To who ever ends up reading this blog I want you to imagine a celebrity or famous personality that you know, one that you are not fond of, and then I want you to imagine some of the most profound and touching advice you have ever received coming from their mouth.
It can happen, and it did for me. All of the guys in Beer Shark Mice were amazing and genuine and I am so glad that we got the opportunity to meet with them and then got to talk to them one on one after the taped part of the interview. Lucky us!
Almost ready for bed,

Fred 62 and Getty
12:48 am
Orange, CA
Dear Reader,
We have had some really good food on this trip, some of it was stumbled upon and some of it, like In and Out Burger, we knew we would go to before we even left. Fred 62 however, was a pleasant surprise that was suggested by Paula. It was a funky little dinner with attitude. For example one of the T-Shirts that is a uniform for the servers says “Rehab is for Quitters” on the back of it, and “Fred 62” on the front. It was great!
I had an eggplant sandwich with yummy fries. I t was unlike anything I have had before, it had onions and fresh mozzarella and mixed greens.
After we ate we went to the Getty, another suggestion form Paula. It was a museum on a hill; we took a tram up to it. It The Getty overlooked L.A. and if it had not been so smoggy there would have been a great view of the ocean.
My two favorite parts of the Getty (there was a ton to see, and we only saw a bit) was the paintings in the pastel and watercolor room by Degas, and Lautrec, and the cactus garden. That’s right, I liked a cactus! In fact I liked many of them. I usually hate cacti, but I have expanded my horizons and I saw a beautiful cacti garden that I will never forget. I am having trouble uploading pictures but I will have some cacti fun on the blog soon.
Cacti can be cool,

Paula Rocks My Socks!
12:45 am
Orange, CA
Dear Reader,
On Saturday we met with Paula Donnelly in the afternoon. This was one of the people that I called to get an interview with, and she was so sweet about it. She has been by far one of the most pleasant people that I have ever worked with. I was so excited to meet her and she exceeded all of my expectations.
We got to her house and we were a little too early, to burn some time we went to some shops near by. One of the places we went was Out of the Closet, a thrift store about a block away from Paula’s. I bought a couple southing cds with nature sounds and harp music; I also bought some crazy huge ugly sunglasses that are glorious.
Paula called as we were walking back to her house and said she was ready for us whenever we were ready to go, it was perfect timing. The interview took place in her home and as soon as we entered I was tickled pink. She has a cute house with a pretty yard and a little garden. She took us into her back yard and we had our meeting under the beating sun for over an hour. By the end of the talk I had a bit of a sunburn, but it was worth it.
Of the interviews we had done up to that point, I think I related to Paula the most. She works for Cornerstone Theater, a theater based in L.A. that works with different communities to create original pieces and to adapt classics to pertain to the community. Paula’s position at Cornerstone is Institute Director. She is in charge of finding the communities; and the communication that takes place between the directors, writers and all of the logistical aspects of the community organization. An example of one of the issues she is working on her job right now is that the town where they are doing their summer project their was a hiccup on the housing for the actors and the staff while they stay there and work with the community to create the theater piece. So now she has to work out the housing and all of the logistics for the entire stay of the group.
One of the most valuable pieces of advice that I got from Paula’s interview is that if you have the luxury to chose, you should not be afraid to stay in a job if it doe not feel right to you. She also talked about feeling restless and needing to change jobs at certain points in her life. Paula said that she would make her choices of how and where change would occur for her based on location at times. It brought up a good point that I had not really considered, if you have a good job, but you do match the location you live in you will not be happy. For some people it means that they need to be close to their family, for some it means that they need to be some place sunny. The most important thing is to know yourself and how best you work. She also stressed the important of respectful human interactions no matter what the career and knowing that if you are not experiencing that you will want to think about your options for change because you deserve a positive working environment and for most people there is something else out there if they know to look for it.
And a quick endnote; when we left Paula’s we forgot to ask her to take a picture with us. We drove about a block away and then called her and asked if we could come back. She graciously said yes. After we got the picture she gave me a hug! She truly does have a wonderful personality and a great spirit; it was great to talk to her!
Hope you get a hug today!

Trees and Water
12:42 am
Orange, CA
Dear Reader,
This road trip has been a great opportunity to see some beautiful countryside. One of my favorite parts of doing so much driving is seeing all of the trees and rolling hills. I love trees! I love to look at them, to touch them, to hug them and to play under them in the shade.
I have lots of pictures of trees, of all kinds of trees. Tall trees, pretty trees, stumpy trees, wispy trees, and trees with flowers. I will have some pictures up on the blog in the next couple of days, but for now you can just close you eyes and imagine every type f tree you have seen and imagine it going by the window of a car really fast. Then imagine hugging a tall skinny tree on the side of the road in San Francisco, then touching a flower on a tree in the park, and then imagine lying down under a huge redwood in Oakland after having been in the car all day. If you can begin to imagine these things you will have an idea of some of the magic I have been experiencing.
I love trees!
We have had the chance to play in a park in Oakland, walk through a few parks in San Francisco and see a great many while on our travels. In addition to wonderful trees, we have had some great water experiences as well. In San Francisco there was a huge concrete type waterfall fountain that was a joy to play on. We had seen a little street fair market type thing while driving into San Fran and while trying to find our way back to it by foot, we walked out into this open area where there was a live music performer, the market we had been looking for, cool little shops, restaurants and the big water fountain fall thing. For those of you who know me, you know that I love waterfalls, and for being in a city this is about as close as it gets to waterfalls. It was a bright sun shinny day and it was perfect. We played on the waterfall thing and it was great. To top it off, after that we walked into China Town and had a great lunch. We finished our San Fran day with a trip to the pier. It was nice to see the bay from a different point of view. It was also great because we could see the park by the Golden Gate Bridge that we had visited the day before. Walking out to the end of the pier and looking at the boats and the islands was great. No matter what else, no matter what shops or how many tourists, I will always love the pier, any pier, as long as there is water at the end (or a tree) it is ok by me!
Later Dude,

Time To Catch Up
12:40 am
Orange, CA
Dear Reader,
It has been a while since we last spoke. To be honest I am discovering just how much I dislike the idea of blogging. But I want to keep you updated on my end of things so here is my attempt to catch up.
I will start by saying it is not my intention to go over every event of the day. If you are interested in excruciating detail I will do a slide show of the entire trip when I get back. What I plan on blogging about from here on out are the little moments that were special, awesome, funny, or otherwise noteworthy to me.
On Thursday we met Payton Carter, a special ed high school teacher and the founder of the hip-hop club at Oakland High School. First off I must say that this meeting was such a delightful surprise. It was our first meeting and I was nervous, I did not know what to expect and I was not sure how Payton would be on camera or how he would be with the questions we asked him. I had nothing to fear; he was an easygoing guy with great presence and inspiring experiences to share. Payton told us about how he did Teach for America and that was how he got placed in Oakland High School.
The most important thing I got from this interview was the fact that a teacher can be heavily involved in the arts and have a great positive impact on the youth they are working with no matter what the environment. In movies you see the young idealistic teacher coming into a school in the city and creating a groundbreaking program that changes lives. These situations seem unreal and contrived. Of course they exist but it was nice to meet a teacher who was doing a job that he loves, and is making a difference with out the drama of a made for TV movie and in a very down to earth way.
Our next interview was on Friday and it too was at Oakland High School. We met with Keith Williams, a.k.a K-Dub. He is an art teach and the founder of the Hood Games in Oakland. In this interview we got a look into the world of someone who combines his passion for art, skateboarding and community involvement into as many aspects of his life as possible. One of the main quotes that I really took to heart from him was that he was trying to get ever aspect of his life under one roof. This appealed to me because at times I feel like I am pulled in too many different directions and it is hard for me to combine all of the aspects of my life that I want to. Yet, after talking to him I feel that it is possible to do so. He has put together an amazing event in the Hood Games and on top of that he is a teacher, a working artist and a family man.
One of the other pieces of advice that he gave that really hit home with me was that you need to get out and get as many experiences as possible in order to be able to be a good teacher. I have always felt this way, but it is nice to have your feeling reaffirmed as well as some advice for how to get that experience. He said it was great that we were doing what we are doing on the road trip and to go beyond that and to really challenge ourselves to be outside of our comfort zone and try to get an idea of what else is out there.
In an attempt to make my chunks more readable I am going to break them up. This is where I will end the first part of my catch up.
See you in a bit,
