What Happened to the Blog? Where's The DVD?

I have received many emails and phone calls asking, "what happened to the blog?" There hasn't been a post since April? Weren't you working on a DVD? Below you will find an email that I sent recently. I will share this on the blog. I hate excuses! I apologize publicly to everyone who feels I let them down. I will do my best to see what my options are, and update you on the blog. Remember ... a blog is a group effort. It's success truly depends on additional comments from you. Without that additional spark from you the readers, this blog will die. I have not had one person comment on what they thought of the show. That being said, I will have a little surprise for everyone very soon. I'm hoping this will spur some conversation ...

--- Below is one of the e-mails I recently sent ---

I guess people just went back to their routine, everyone got busy, and a great moment started turning into a more distant memory.

Perhaps my only disappointment was not getting much of anywhere with the DVD. Which is the number one reason the blog was not updated. I had nothing to tell people, other than they were still working on it. It is the number one question everyone who was there asks me.

It's too bad, We had a 3 camera shoot ... Lewsh got some real creative and energetic young dudes to film the event. But when it came to editing, they couldn't make it happen. They say there was syncing glitches and time restraints.

I believe them! --- They were never paid for this massive time consuming project. They saw a creative opportunity and wanted to be a part of it. Money wasn't the objective, it was the creativity and the opportunity to be involved with some cool people.

However, I feel that they will not make it happen anytime soon. So I asked for the tapes back and received them only a few days ago.

We lost all that time, but the good news is I have the tapes now and will investigate into what I have and what I can do ... All this time has passed and I've never seen a glimpse of what was captured. I will do my best to sort thru everything and get these tapes transferred properly. It requires expensive equipment to transfer as they were shot in HD. This does need to be stepped down to SD and involves extra labor.

Anyway, I didn't mean to create a novel, I will let you know when I have more info. Perhaps I should use this email as a post on the blog to stir it up a bit? Stay well ... We will talk soon.
