COMPANY
525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How
about love? Measure in love.
Seasons of love.

Hi!

SOLOISTS 1&2
525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or man?

 

One year ago TODAY, 

it was on Sunday!
So, many 

Dreams, 

wishes, 

all of our efforts, 

friends, 

community 

and numerous gifts from above
all jelled into that one, 

that First Call for - "ACTION" 

- and reality set in...

We are doing this!!!!!!

SOLOIST 1
In truths that she
learned,

A year ago, 

we did not know each other,
and a year later,

we are better for having known each other...
(another musical, shhhhhhh! 

- fingers crossed(hope-hope-hope))

We hope you have laughed with us,
and enjoyed our 'fun' at ourselves and our lives...

and we have enjoyed sharing our vision,
and friendship with you! (smile)

SOLOIST 2
Or in times that he cried.

What makes a Web Series?
Frankly, Courage & Commitment...
There is a lot to learn, 

and even more to go through,
and hanging-in-there...
That's the trick...

SOLOIST 1
In bridges he burned,

I can't say enough about the dozens of people
that have supported us,
given up help,
encouraged us,
and challenged us to go on.

and the love that has been given
to us from our viewers and fans,
leaves us humble, thankful

and blessed!...


SOLOIST 2
Or the way that she died....

(unfortunate placement - but I am running out of lyrics...

(smile))

Some fantastic Yacht-ing around

(Okay, maybe not if it went into the water...),

champagne,

gambling,

a film festival or two,

a king or queen,

even a princess would do!..

ITV Fest - and you thought the "yellow brick road" would be interesting...

Fumbling Thru The Pieces:

ITV Fest Banquet

 'and you thought the "yellow brick road" 

would be interesting...'

~~~~~^~~~~~

Hi All;

  Last night was the ITV Fest Banquet 

- what an event...!!! 

- I am not a "Hollywood Type" 

or an "Industry Person" 

- So, its all just interesting and wonderful!

From what I have seen and experienced 

- I can provide a couple of tips 

on the Successful Journey TO and Through 

the RED CARPET! 

(Oh! My Pleasure)

TIP #001: Know where you are going! 

- The journey to the Renaissance Hotel was easy and quick... 

A bunch of stress getting ready... 

Clothing Malfunctions, Make-up #fail, 

and the traffic traveling any where in LA 

- but it is all, okay! 

The Renaissance Hotel, 

is amazing it is locate right next to Hollywood & Highland Complex,

which is located at the intersection of Hollywood & Highland... 

- Fun Place!!!! 

TIP #002: Get There EARLY! 

- We all want to participate in every event in a Festival, 

and that participation begins with Planning... 

The event, was listed to start at 7pm 

- Gosh! it must have been 6:20 - 6:30pm 

when we got there... 

In the parking structure, 

we ran in to our friends from DeVanity 

- being early, being focused on the event and having a good time, 

and with enough people 

so that any one person is not stressed with trying to figure out the whole thing 

- was such a relief... 

it made it just that much more enjoyable... 

It's like 

- "Oh! we need to Check in over there? - Great!", 

or 

"Oh! there are two bars at the other end! - Great!" 

-*-

  Yah, know what I mean.... 

Let me say  the DeVanity PPL are wonder-FULLY Amazing....

TIP #003: The Check-in... 

We were placed at the Gilligan's Island table... 

One that, Fumbling Thru The Pieces - FILLED 

- "Cause That's US!" (smile)

DeVanity was at the Dallas Table...

TIP #004: This is an EVENT... 

YOU! Yes, You! 

and your enjoyment and pleasure are the First Consideration! 

- Heck, just enjoy yourself, 

and be guided thru the magic... 

"Trust, the Force!" (IDDK!)

TIP #005: Where early pays off 

- This is our place in the Red Carpet line...

"OMGosh!" you say! - of course there is a line... 

and if you figure that your place in the line, 

is based on your participation... 

You to, would have a great place 

- Like we did... 

Yes! lines are slow, 

Oh, heck yes! lines are horribly slow when you are hungry 

(omgosh! the food was so good!) 

- but it is okay! Really...

When in Line, 

what do you do? 

- ** -

 of course... You take pictures...

TIP #006: The Bottom Line - 

Who is not a winner with Shoes like these!

TIP #007: The end of the Red Carpet Journey 

- there are a lot of people here to support you 

and want to make everything that you want happen...  

Let them! 

these Web PPL, Television, and Media Blah,blah, 

and Photographers 

- all want to get to you as well...  

and then there is you - 'loose' (in a good way) 

- taking more pictures and having fun... 

TIP #008: You are there! On The RED CARPET!

=======================================

I will be back in a while with some more pictures....

=======================================

Fumbling Thru The Pieces 

- Acknowledges and is Appreciative 

of the work and dedication 

of StayTuned TV - ITV Fest! 

- Frank & Ken -
