Local boy hits it big

A big "way to go dude!" to friend, local rocker and filmmaker, Chance Shirley. A movie he made called "Hide and Creep" will be on the Sci Fi Channel May 11 at 6 p.m.

The movie, made a couple of years ago, features a cast of local folks, most of them I know, and a soundtrack that features my friend and fellow bandmate, Eric McGinty.

The creators of the movie describe it:

"In the tiny town of Thorsby, Alabama, the dead begin rising from their pine boxes and feeding on the locals. As the law enforcement is out of town, the local video store clerk joins with the sheriff's secretary, a retired deputy, and the single G-man dispatched to the site. Together they arm themselves with all the weapons and farm tools possible and unleash a healthy dose of Southern justice on the army of the living dead." (Thorsby really exists. It's about 40 miles south of Birmingham.)

Chance is as nice and humble as he is talented and ambitious which makes all the good press and success of this movie even sweeter. It truly could not happen to a better guy.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
