Unky Duck's Rockin' World Tour

The last one..

2008-05-28T15:54:00.002-05:00

It's been suggested that a blog loosely associated with a kids' show shouldn't have so much beer-related material. I agree.
I will appear elsewhere recording all the news that nobody but me could ever care about.
If i didn't have a giant headache, i'd probably be able to come up with a clever url to link to here...

I will never stop with the bad puns

2008-05-26T17:33:00.001-05:00

Today's offering

2008-05-25T18:32:00.000-05:00

Another day, another brew

2008-05-23T21:57:00.003-05:00

Act soon while supplies last.

It's all about the working conditions

2008-05-23T21:11:00.002-05:00

Sophie puts a lot of pressure on me to get out and ride my bike when the weather is good. Bella's is a nice place to edit... but I can edit after dark.

Just a thought for the day

2008-05-19T18:31:00.001-05:00

Forbidden love

2008-05-11T09:25:00.004-05:00

The first of the truly unique brews from Bella's Brewery is finally off the production line. "Forbidden Love Smoked Brown Ale".
If you want a taste, you'd better hurry. I need the bottles for a batch of "You put your Wheat in it" Wheat beer that is overdue for bottling.

One last dogsled

2008-04-27T11:50:00.004-05:00

Sophie had one more pull on Saturday out in the Pumpkin Creek area. Free range dog.. very unusual. Sophie also walked across the river when everyone else jumped over.

Farewell

2008-04-27T08:42:00.015-05:00

A fabulous going-away lunch was held on Friday, to commemorate the departure of our practicum students..Whitney and Sean. Great lunch. Big fun... back to work.
PS
It was also a going away lunch for me.
Freelance shooter/editor available on short notice..
will edit 4 fud.

The Mighty Lars

2008-04-07T13:46:00.001-05:00

I can't imagine that anyone reading wouldn't already know, but I'm moved to use every means possible to spread the sad news.

Funeral services for Lars "Lawrence" Sharp will be held at Oak & Kingsway in Winnipeg at 1PM Friday April 11.

NOT the best hunting dog

2008-03-23T15:23:00.002-05:00

Sophie, while a smokin' good sled-dog in training, and a peach running with the bikes...wouldn't be too much help spotting food in the wild. What this deer was doing on the downtown river trail, I do not know.

Some ACTUAL SRWT news

2008-03-17T18:57:00.002-05:00

We have been given a pass by a kid-centric Canadian cable network.
Apparently, they found the show too educational.

Dogsledding TNG

2008-03-17T18:49:00.004-05:00

Tron, the little pup from across the street, joined us in the schoolyard for the (probably) last dogsled sojourn of the season. Pretty distracting for poor Sophie.

On the way back, Tron actually tried to pull the sled a little bit... but quickly ran out of gas, and rode the rest of the way home in Missy's arms. Good deal for all.

Sophie entertains

2008-03-11T16:04:00.002-05:00

And we were worried that the season was over...

2008-03-09T01:16:00.002-06:00

Another one for J.D.

2008-02-13T19:23:00.004-06:00

It's pretty standard stuff to complain about the weather, but seriously... the only one who is really enjoying the atmosphere around here...is Sophie the SledDog.
On the other side of the world...

I have EVEN MORE in common with Jamaicans now.

2008-02-11T15:03:00.000-06:00

The Jamaican Dogsled team is competing in a series of races here in Canada. If you want to see the team (which was featured in Shea's Rockin' World Tour episode one Jamaica) check out CTV Newsnet or CKY news tonight at 6. It ran at noon, and with the hour-long 'cast, they'll probably run it again. Sadly, the musher's just doing it for exhibition, because their dogs weren't allowed into Canada.

The photo is a tribute to my old buddy Gebo, who passed away last summer.
I sure miss you buddy.

Song for Peace

2008-02-06T08:02:00.000-06:00

Our thoughts are with our Kenyan friends right now. Normally I wouldn't post someone else's work here but Eric Wainaina's song calls for peace, and understanding among Kenyans... and it's a beautiful song also.
It's in Swahili, but I think the meaning is clear.

If you had more fun than this...I'd like to know HOW !

2008-02-03T17:40:00.001-06:00

Shaun, Kayleigh, and Emily stopped by today for a ride on Jed Sled 1.2.1 now featuring a backrest.
Such luxury.

It's ALIVE !!

2008-02-02T11:56:00.000-06:00

The D40x is alive, despite being submerged in the Caribbean while I was in Dominican Republic in January.
How I ended up in the soup with all my gear, is unclear, though discussed at some length here- Unky Duck's Rockin' World Tour: To the BEACH !

The Jed Sled is Dead

2008-01-29T09:12:00.000-06:00

We took our husky/shepherd cross for some high-speed trials down on the river Monday night (Blizzard warning in effect, let's go out and play !)
As you can see from the video- Sophie kinda runs out of gas after pulling 2 of us half a mile at breakneck speed . Still she was game to do it many, many times... just a slosh of water and a face full of snow, and she's eager to go again ! It's very surprising how much exercise you get doing this...i can't imagine PULLING the thing...

Unfortunately, the bad workmanship and poor materials of the Jed Sled 1.0 caused a complete systems failure on the final leg home.
Watch for JedSled 1.1 this weekend !!

Proof of Concept

2008-01-27T14:38:00.000-06:00

We ran around for more than an hour and Uncle Jed's Sled is still intact !
I thought i was channeling my dad as i was building it... but lo.. it LIVES !!
The shot that's missing is Alana riding...me kicking and holding on for dear life, and Lori at the end of the block calling Sophie... we were going so fast I couldn't kick, and had to just stand up and ride... that pup is only 6 months old, and Alana will be an adult pronto- AMAZING the load Sophie's hauling ... but now that we're back inside... Sophie is out cold. I think we finally figured out how to tucker her out...(I lasted about 15 minutes.. then CRASH)

Still moving...

2008-01-27T11:36:00.000-06:00

Big shout-outs to Gen and Sharon and Lori (Junie, Danny, Sophie, Lily, Chloe, Dil, Furby, Hannah, Mogwai, Mist, and Max) for the help with my move from Garfield to Jessie. It's been especially hard since i have been assembling "Uncle Jed's DogSled", and I can hardly wait to test 'er out. Sophie is excited, and so am I. She proved that she LOVES to pull with a Krazy Karpet... UJ's DS actually might have less friction than the KK... though it will probably break in a million pieces on the first bump...

Major Motion Picture

2008-01-24T12:30:00.000-06:00

We have been shooting pre-interviews for weeks, and now it's time to do the real thing. The Asthma training video will feature real people this time. Sorry that the amount of equipment that we're using is kind of intimidating.

Moving day- redux

2008-01-20T11:15:00.000-06:00

Thanks to all who helped out on moving day... and curses to the weather people for the -34 with 30Km wind.

Back to the Frozen North

2008-01-20T11:07:00.000-06:00

Our little friend Leo livened up the action at YWG by going backward through the security gate... poor Patty... then he took off for the street...

So what else is new ?

2008-01-11T23:16:00.000-06:00

Looking back at the posts from the ship, I've been awfully self-absorbed.
Behold, most of the travelling gang.

On Saturday, the ship people suspected that we still had money left, so they put us ashore on their private beach in the Bahamas. A spirited volleyball game broke out, and many cocktails were consumed. PLUS just one more camera crapped out on me.

Self diagnosis - Somewhat suspicious

2008-01-11T11:57:00.000-06:00

I also heard today that they’ve had 1000 cases of Dengue fever in Puerto rico. I might have to check the symptoms… Tony and I have been too sick, for too long for it to just be sunstroke.. There’s hand sanitizer everywhere on the ship- gangway, restaurants, poolside…I was always somewhat suspicious of this…

I woke up at 5AM, after sleeping about 20 hours.. I still had to wait for a machine in the launderette.

More Virgins

2008-01-11T11:56:00.000-06:00

Thursday AM saw us land in Tortola- British Virgin Islands. I went ashore, just to say I did, and had some minor adventures. First stop- soup. I tried to find the Chinese restaurant that advertised on the street but no luck. I had a dream about consommé soup. I ended up at a restaurant catering to locals and ordered “Peas soup” When it came, the waitress said “You don’t mind that it has a pig’s tail in it ?”
I kinda skimmed the broth off, (Somehow, the pig’s tail was somewhat unappetizing.
Another hour of walking aimlessly, and I realized that I was getting even more sun… ack. Back to the ship.

The Undersea World of Tony Cousteau

2008-01-11T11:55:00.002-06:00

Great snorkeling right off the beach, and Tony jumped in with the enthusiasm born of the new. We both got too much sun, and learned what they mean when they say “Sick as a Dog” We’re staying REALLY close to the “head” in our “stateroom”.

Frenchie's Restaurant

2008-01-11T11:55:00.001-06:00

I had lunch at a rusty truck, and waited an hour for a patty, rice and beans. AWESOME when it came, though. I really suspected that Frenchie was playing with me.

...food poisoning ? No way man.

Bring on the Virgins

2008-01-11T11:54:00.001-06:00

Next stop- US Virgin Islands.
What an amazing island-wide traffic jam. As we left the port for the beach, we passed at least 3 miles of bumper to bumper traffic sitting still in the single lane road. MILES inland and they're waiting for a traffic light down by the pier.

Mussel Beach

2008-01-09T07:07:00.001-06:00

Anyhoo, on the beach, we had one of the locals fill us up with mussels. Right from the sea, with a squirt of lemon. Very luxurious.

To the BEACH !

2008-01-09T07:06:00.000-06:00

Enroute, Ramon and co. made TWO stops to pick up some local rum. The stuff really works.

Much later on the beach, I managed to kill both of my cameras in one go…apparently submersion is contraindicated. Damn gravity.

The charger for my Nikon is dead.. and the Fuji camera, also. Hopefully I can either get the photo crew on the boat to charge my battery, or barring that, I’ll buy a charger when I’m ashore today in St. Thomas US Virgin Islands. Until I charge the battery, I won't know if the camera itself is a writeoff.

UPDATE: Borrowed a camera.. no cable..ack. Spare battery for nikon has a contact broken off... what's going on here ? Witchcraft ?
LATER UPDATE- No chargers available for the esoteric &^*#&^^*&^#$ battery.

Dominican Republic

2008-01-09T07:02:00.000-06:00

Tuesday AM saw a beautiful day, with land on the horizon. Republica Dominicana was “discovered” by Columbus. He called the bay where we anchored “The Gulf of Arrows” because the local inhabitants sent him packing.
This is the first year that cruise ships are stopping in Samana, so there isn’t a deep water dock yet…we had to go ashore on a tender. We got lucky and got to ride in one of these cool lifeboats. If it was full to its 110 person capacity, it would be pretty snug, I suspect. Though- any old lifeboat in a storm, I suppose.
We wandered a bit then the Chief Negotiator found us a promoter on his day off who then pitched a price to a driver and we were off to the beach. I'm definitely going to have to check out the Google earth view of the trip, cuz I got rum in my eye.

YMCA

2008-01-07T23:18:00.001-06:00

As with so much of life, it’s the ones who participate, who have the best time. This is Tony’s first cruise (mine too) and he jumped in with both feet. The gang roused me to rush up to the Spinnaker Lounge, where Allan and Tony had been drafted to play “The Village People” in the entertainment extravaganza. I think the pix speak for themselves. (Though they don't seem to be uploading.. maybe satellite bandwidth limitations....

Norwegian Dawn

2008-01-07T23:17:00.000-06:00

The ship is HUGE. And it’s just one of many plying these waters. Three ships departed at the same time, and spent a few hours jockeying for position. We had a Carnival ship following us this morning… they overtook us by mid afternoon…maybe we need to make some of our fatties walk the plank. (If this is the last post, you’ll know why.)

Miami Florida

2008-01-07T23:14:00.000-06:00

We stayed in a Red Roof Inn in Miami on the way out to the cruise ship. It was REALLY close to the airport. Kind of a good news/bad news deal.

Like a dream...

2007-12-31T09:11:00.001-06:00

I guess I missed the memo.
It's 9:10 Monday morning, and I'm the only one in the office.

Luckily, the server's down so I can do some stuff to restore it,
that would have required coming in anyway.

Is that lucky ? I don't know.

Maybe I'll go sit in Laura's chair and daydream a bit...

A note to those bored over the holidays...

2007-12-29T12:59:00.001-06:00

You must be DEEP into the bookmarks if you're actually checking this page...
we've been so busy moving the office and dealing with Christmas, and putting together proposals for numerous ad jobs (we GOT the City of Winnipeg gig... whatever that is..).
The Picantists have scattered to the four winds for a day or two, now. I worked cutting the SCU industrial video over Dec. 23, 24, 25, 26, etc, but at least I was working in my bathrobe...thanks MacBook pro...We're leaving on a week-long boat trip on Jan. 6... the "World Tour" aspect will probably require continuous posting... though a connection might not be easy at sea. Who knows- maybe no contact at all... though I think we go to Ocho Rios, and I know where there's a hotspot there...blah blah, holiday, hungover, blah blah sunburn blah blah giant buffet, poor me, too hot, blah blah...bragspot.

Stop by our new facility at 472 Stradbrook anytime !
Maybe, just before lunch !
We haven't scratched the surface of possibilities in this area.

Pulling the plugs TODAY !!

2007-12-14T10:55:00.001-06:00

To celebrate Laura's birthday, we're disconnecting the computer networks, printers, etc. and moving to your new "boutique" style digs at 472 Stradbrook St. The desks and stuff won't move until Monday.
We might be pretty well off-line until Tuesday, but we'll see.

Movin' uptown

2007-12-05T14:53:00.000-06:00

Can it be good that we're moving even closer to the bar/vendor/liquor nexus ?

We're on the MOVE !!

2007-12-04T11:00:00.000-06:00

The offices of Picante Advertising and Espiritu Films will move on Dec. 20 to our new digs on Stradbrook.
Lots of work for volunteer movers.

ACTUAL SRWT related news !

2007-12-02T12:59:00.000-06:00

I just got a phone call from our little bud Ren from Malaysia !
Apparently, he just got the postcard we sent him from Playa Del Carmen.

"Hello to everyone, and wish them all well" said he...

Shout outs to Teresa

2007-11-30T16:15:00.000-06:00

I am told that there is at least ONE loyal reader still out there.
Weird.

Anyhoo...
Laura and I travelled to Regina again today, shot a buncha bankers. (How great does THAT sound ?) Actually, we were shooting Credit Union functionaries.. MUCH nicer than bankers ever could be.
Once again we were stuffed into a tiny "full size" rental car...AACK. I don't know if they just say whatever comes into their head, or what ? At least, we were travelling light for a change.

The flight back to Winnipeg was delayed for a couple of hours, (at flight time) and we were at the mercy of a teenage channel-changer. I know a lot more about Brittney et al plus we enjoyed the top 10 "Hair band" videos. Good thing they sell beer on the air-side. This feature is not always in place.

Laura got a nice new shirt. Apparently it went over VERY well.

It never gets old for me

2007-11-25T11:06:00.001-06:00

We subscribe to "Google Alerts" which tip us off whenever our keywords are posted to a separate site. It's still pretty cool to find out that the Chinese (?) are able to see samples of the show. And I like to think that where it's available, it's being watched, though my Xíngshēngzì
is not so good, i can't be sure.

Just for the Record

2007-11-10T13:06:00.001-06:00

I don't expect anyone will read this, but if I put it here, i might remember the details longer.
First off, big shout-outs to our pals at CKCK television in Regina. We arrived in the Queen city to shoot a little industrial piece, but our gear missed the plane in Winnipeg. They told us that it would arrive by 7:20 AM. Avis then provided us with the smallest "midsize" car EVER. After a night in a hotel which had many similarities with a large cinder block, I went back to the airport at the appointed time, and they said the stuff missed the plane in Saskatoon. "Come back at 11." Unfortunately, we were scheduled to shoot, out of town , at 9:30. It was election day in Saskatchewan , so every piece of EFP gear in the province was spoken-for, but Laura's contact at the local CTV affiliate climbed up into the rafters and found us a lighting kit and most of a tripod. Laura got verbal directions, which left out the last turn, so we roared out to the countryside, blasting WAY past Weyburn. Through what was probably a radar/camera combination growing out of the prairie in the middle of nowhere..."What's that thing ? It looks like.... a camera... and a radar gun...no flash though... maybe we dodged THAT bullet"
We did the shoot in Weyburn, and after a fast McCrappy meal, we raced back to Regina... Once again, the gear didn't make it. Laura played "Bad Cop" on the phone using such words as "outrageous" and "horrendous" - eventually WestJet gave us $300 in credits... but the gear didn't show up until after 6. Another shoot with the "Mystery Gear" then it was off to Saskatoon by tiny car. We were lucky with conditions, so we kept to the "terrifying" speed. By morning, the ground was covered in snow.
We picked up the phone which had been left behind when Picante moved out, and took in a meeting at Centre Mall. We shot some stills for reference, then ran around downtown for a bit 'til we found the place to drop off the phone. A quick stop for some more talking head shots...
, and we flew back.

It's over, for now.

2007-10-25T15:53:00.000-05:00

Episode 13 has left the building.
What's next ?
Stay tuned to this Bat-station.

PopShuvit LIVE

2007-10-04T20:24:00.000-05:00

Tell your friends. This band is HOT. Shea's Rockin' World Tour also.

Another sign that it's really happening

2007-10-01T21:15:00.001-05:00

Everyday we see another reminder that this is not just a dream anymore.

In the unlikely event...

2007-09-29T12:13:00.000-05:00

In the unlikely event

that there's someone reading this...
why don't you join the SRWT group
and enter the contests ?
Traffic is light,
and the probability of success is HIGH !
Even YOU J.D. !!
If you win, i'll buy you $50 worth
of Canadian souvenirs at St. Vital Centre,
and ship 'em.

Unrelated photo

Next stop ?

2007-09-27T07:51:00.000-05:00

Well, we're back on pins and needles now... our 13 show prospect is now back in the hands of Sandra Carter for MIPCOM
C'mon - second SEASON !!

Feels like the finish line...

2007-09-23T15:06:00.001-05:00

I'm sure Laura will feel more like celebrating when she sees the contract signed. But even old jaded guys like me get excited when the show airs for the first time...

Today is the DAY !

2007-09-22T08:08:00.000-05:00

I was checking out the TV listings channel...
it's really true.

This face says it ALL !!

2007-09-19T17:25:00.000-05:00

Laura is speaking to L.A.

I won't spoil her fun by revealing the news.

But, it's good.

OMG (again)

2007-09-17T14:11:00.000-05:00

We launch on CityTV in Winnipeg on Saturday at 3.

Really big show !!

2007-09-17T14:07:00.000-05:00

The St. Vital Silver City was the scene of a wild bash on Saturday. We screened 2 episodes to wildly enthusiastic viewers. Very gratifying. Thanks to Universal Music, and Q94 for their efforts, and schwag.

2007-09-13T19:15:00.000-05:00

I think "Big Breakfast" was punchier

2007-09-12T15:28:00.000-05:00

Watch CityTV's Breakfast Television tomorrow (Thursday) for Shea's promotional appearance...they say she'll be on around 8:10 .Jon Ljungberg won't know what hit him.

The Calm

2007-09-09T08:32:00.000-05:00

Check out Shea's newly designed webpage at |Sheasrockinworldtour.com|
Join the club, start a discussion thread.. see the new pix...

For travel fans here is a pretty cool page of 360 degree panoramas of the 7 wonders of the world
|panoramas|

Of course, I don't have what it takes to spawn a new page, so when you click on these, you're gone from UDRWT... don't forget to come back tomorrow. Though, there's not much news in this, the calm-before-the-storm. We're all gearing up for the theatre premiere of SRWT next weekend, and the On-Air premiere the following week. The gang has been knocking out shows, promos, press kits, sponsor kits, commercials, supporting the website, attending charity events, producing demos and more ... it's the hardest-workin' little crew in show business.
Watch for Shea on the Big Breakfast on Thursday !!

Those boys are HOT

2007-09-08T16:19:00.000-05:00

If anybody needs tix to the theatre screening of Shea's Rockin' World Tour in Winnipeg on the 15th of September - let me know pronto. I will get you the tix you need. There's a great show, plus a Universal CD library and Beyonce tickets are among the door prizes.
The show premieres on the 22nd at 3 on CityTV in Winnipeg.
Other markets TBA.

The road ahead

2007-09-04T21:53:00.000-05:00

The path we're following is fraught with difficulties.
It wouldn't be any fun if it wasn't.
Besides,
if it was easy, everyone would do it.

Do not go where the path may lead
go instead where there is no path,
and leave a trail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

nice start.

Weird science

2007-08-29T16:25:00.000-05:00

It's strange to go into the Picante office, after working at home for over a year...there's no dogs and cats (and Sharon) to bother me...

just a LOT of other stuff.
PLUS I'm out in the hall, again.

And even more...

2007-08-21T18:12:00.001-05:00

She said "More pix"

2007-08-21T15:43:00.000-05:00

Now i'm mad.

2007-08-19T23:52:00.000-05:00

I told you that the "take off your shoes for the sake of national security" gang would get worse before they got better.
Take a look here.
and here.
Thank you for your support.

A Cast of Thousands(ish)

2007-08-19T23:04:00.000-05:00

Thanks to Matthias and Cathy for jumping on board.
We spent the day shooting a couple of promo bits for our fab sponsor St. Vital Centre...the kids seemed to have fun, but kids are weird.

Time out

2007-08-18T11:07:00.000-05:00

The first cut of Episode 13 The Best of SRWT is at the V1.2 stage... it's been a challenge to get all the "good stuff" into one show. In fact, it is patently impossible. Meanwhile, i'm going on a picnic.
Illustrated, is our host,
hanging out with the crew in Jamaica shooting a pilot for "30 Minute Postcard" in 1994.

Notice we've rolled off 7 and a half hours of footage by this point...

Memory Lane

2007-08-12T20:19:00.001-05:00

Was it real ?
Is it possible that all this stuff happened in a little over a year ?
Launching on CITY TV in Winnipeg Saturdays at 3 this fall !

There's an old saying in television production

2007-08-06T22:40:00.001-05:00

There's an old saying in TV, that the amount of work will expand to fill any available time. The first cut of Malaysia trickled into the long weekend, so the extra few days are in the show, on the screen, and looking good. IMHO.
Special thanks to Lori for stoically putting up with having all fun/duck related activities bounced to the back burner. I sure hope your trusty iBook comes back to life soon.
Anyhooo.. SRWT Malaysia 1&2 are in the can (preliminarily).

Deadline Doom

We're closing in on the first major delivery deadline... editing continues on episodes 11-13. Some stuff is easier than others... Cowboy Town, I'm talkin' to YOU ! We are also enjoying unprecedented cooperation from PopShuvit. Thanks dudes ! (That's what you kids say isn't it... thanks dudes ?) Denise is working like some sort of post-modern galley slave... the show's lookin' HOT... confidence is high... Shea did her best work last time out... I, for one, am hugely confident that Shea's dreams of college will be thwarted by her busy production schedule.

Adios Playa del Carmen

We're on the shuttle for Cancun, to catch a plane to Minneapolis.
Overnighting, then dawdling home for Sunday night.
If anybody gives a ....

Too little, too late- there's a couple of webcams here

It's not all cervesa and sea

We're out in the blazing Mexican sun recording links for Episode 13- The best of SRWT. The garden is standing in for Malaysia, since we got rained out on our last day in Kuala Lumpur. TV is ALL lies and deception...

Viva Mexico !

Strangely, Blogger knows where i am, so it's serving up the pages in Spanish. Talk about language immersion. I also think this connection must be satellite, cuz downloads are quick, and uploads crawl. Boo Hoo.

Calm before the storm

2007-07-13T08:25:00.000-05:00

We're packing up the core crew and heading South again !
On the highway to Minneapolis,
where we will hook up with a dirt cheap (maybe Mexican) flight
to Cancun.
then a Bus ride to Playa del Carmen....

Maybe we should stop at a wide variety of different chinese restaurants...
(The SRWT devotees will know what i'm talkin' about)

As advertised

2007-07-12T12:52:00.000-05:00

Adam Duguay is an editing GOD.
Just sayin'.
So the consensus is we LOVE the new OBB.

Speakin' of JD

If this handsome devil is YOU,
or if you know how to contact him...
please email me at cmccaw@mts.net.

Thanx.

Who needs Shea anymore ? (Or me, i guess)

Credit where credit is due

Shout-outs are also due to Tony and the bunch down at "Wayne's World" AKA MidCan Productions. Dang the footage looks good on that big monitor, even in standard definition. I might just have to recut the promos in HD just so I could pop my eyes out. The promos should start running on SCN pronto. Another milestone...to be sure.

Another new face

2007-06-25T22:30:00.000-05:00

Adam from Elemental Motion Media has joined the mission, assisting in the general show design and hopefully a new opening.
His brief: "Make it beautiful, cool, edgy, futuristic, retro, easy to use in all circumstances and inexpensive"
Also quick.
He seems keen to give it a go... Denise seems to be pleased.
The SRWT website is next for a facelift... who-hoo !
Attention JD of PopShuvit- Your photo (in bg on file cabinet) is still in its place of honour, it just had gravity issues.

Would you watch this show ?

2007-06-23T02:29:00.000-05:00

Best shot of the guv'na

2007-06-21T21:53:00.001-05:00

These shots are in reply to Laura's comment that I'm lookin' like me da...

Meanwhile the page's drifting off into the "look at me" world of bloggery...instead of the rock 'em sockem world of TV production that readers have come to expect. Tune in tomorrow for a return to all things SRWT.

Shout-out to Manny Minuk

2007-06-19T16:58:00.001-05:00

I have been remiss in making fun
of my nice new choppers that Manny made for me.

Actually, i think he's an artist.

I caught a reflection of myself the other day, and i look even MORE like my mum now.
Manny's dad made my mum's set.

No more will be said on this topic, I promise.

I knew Kingfisher was a clever bunch

2007-06-19T08:59:00.001-05:00

Watch us hijack the national carrier's billboard campaign.

Pop Shuvit ROCKS !

2007-06-12T11:16:00.000-05:00

I started screening for the SRWT Malaysia episodes...
the footage is pretty amazing.. wayta go D !
The PopShuvit concert segment is going to be so great
that it's all i can do to keep from STARTING the edit there.
Watch for the YouTube release !!

SRWT is a funny thing

2007-06-10T11:13:00.000-05:00

When I'm at home
i kind of miss the action of SRWT in the field.

Did he make up the name Juan Mann ?

2007-06-07T12:38:00.000-05:00

Was I the last person to see the Juan Mann/Sick Puppies bit from YouTube ? YOU could be the one that puts this clip over a million views. (Of course it's copied all over the place, plus seen on network tv so...)Anyhoo, it made me leak from the eyes.

Direct link to Juan |Here| Check out the interview clips... the guy couldn't be any more sincere.

Get that viral thing cranked up, ... please

2007-06-05T15:29:00.000-05:00

Any of you kids out there who want to help out the cause... chat up the show on any message boards that you frequent... send fans to sheasrockinworltour.com and invite them to join the group at facebook. If teenage polevaulters can get 100,000 hits a day without trying, we should be able to get the ball rolling if we put our minds to it...(perhaps by impersonating 12 year olds, but I suppose that's as unethical as it is widespread).

In the meantime, Denise, Chris, UD, and others are labouring to prepare the 13 soon-to-be-legendary shows for air.

Strangely, the demo India promo on YouTube is getting some traffic. I suppose I should replace it with a more complete version, but perhaps it's the "in progress" feel to the thing that appeals to the YouTube gang...

It had to happen

2007-05-29T19:13:00.000-05:00

I always worried that I'd turn out to be the kind of stereotypical boring old uncle, who continually trots out slideshows and drones on and on about "the days'.
As you know, I am all about the slideshows...
and now, I have a book.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

The year's first rainout

2007-05-23T17:57:00.001-05:00

Of course, the sun came out within 5 minutes of the official rainout message.
Duh, i posted this one to the wrong blog.

Sometimes i wish i worked at the office...or at least close enough to go to lunch with the goils. Have a pleasant weekend everyone.

Thanks for the memories. Such as they are.

Shaun proved to be up to the task of partying like it was marked down to $19.99, on the best party bus we've been on on this continent. Notice that he's winding himself up with some sort of energy drink... is there REALLY rhino horn in there ?

For the record, I'm Shaun's uncle too.

What goes around...

2007-05-08T11:28:00.000-05:00

What walks on four legs, then two, then three ?

Sunday, time to get into trouble...

Idle hands and all.. check out the Facebook group "Shea's Rockin' World Tour" for more pix and an interesting array of older types trying to figure it out, while the kids snicker in the background.. with luck there will be a video bubble floating around here experimentally... if not... TDB.
However, if it does work, it may open one of the larger cans of worms.
OK, it's not working..so far..the server might be overloaded due to the "Digg Effect" Join the fun at bubbleguru.com

Viva !!

Happy Cinco De Mayo to all mi amigos and amigas, and any strangers who happen to read this bit.

Inside joke

2007-05-01T11:07:00.000-05:00

Aside from paying the tab,
all goes well on project X.

I can hardly wait.

Shea Kelli checks out the choices at a food stand in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

I had the opportunity the other day, to scan quickly through some of the footage that came back from Asia with the mighty SRWT crew.
I can hardly wait to get at the edit.
