Merry Xmas and Happy any other holiday from your pals and gals at Lazy Bear Productions. Much like your estranged aunt, we're a few days late to the celebration but we haven't forgotten the presents. Logan's got a new installment in our Tails of the Lazy Bear series called To Whom it May Concern and Ryan's got a quicky song for you called "Don't Change Your Pants", a parody of the Ben Folds Five song "Don't Change Your Plans".
After you've put your new toys aside, we've got some great news for you. First, DVDs of the Hunter Museum showing of Three Conversations, Demon Alcohol, and the short film Rosebud! The Musical are now up for sale at our new online store. Remember, you don't just get the flicks. You also get a commentary track by Logan and Ryan, the uncut version of Rosebud! not seen at the Hunter, a photo gallery with over 150 pictures, The Making of Three Conversations, The Making of Rosebud! The Musical, and an hilarious blooper reel. All in glorious DVD quality suitable for your home library. If you've liked anything we've done, we guarantee you'll love this disc and it's a complete steal at only $5 a pop. C'mon, give us a shot and buy one today. A great gift for that cousin you forgot to buy a Christmas gift for.
 We've still got plenty of free stuff for you too. The first episode of our instructional series on filmmaking "How to Make Your Movie!" is online thanks to the generous folks at Google Video. In it, Logan and Ryan give you 12 tips to indie filmmaking success in their own wacky style. If you've been clamoring to learn our most valuable filmmaking secrets, then this project is for you. The series is being produced for Chris Willis's Video Production class at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. You can find the flick by clicking this link or by searching for "Lazy Bear Productions" at video.google.com.
The instructional series will also be used as part of a filmmaking class Logan and Ryan will be co-teaching for Tennessee high school kids January through March. The class will be sponsored by the Chattanooga Arts and Education Council. Speaking of the AED, they've joined forces with the Firefly Film Group to create a new Chattanooga fest called the Back Row Film Festival. The Lazy Bear team will be heavily involved in the organization of the festival and will debut a new film there in September. The Fest will have several mini events leading up to the big night so stay tuned for more information.

WEBSITE NEWS - Aug. 16, 2005 - Flashback VI: The Last Crusade
|
 The Flashback series mercifully comes to a close this week with three musical scenes from our earliest success (by a very loose definition) Blender Agenda. In "A Trip to the Library", Dr. Logan and Ryan journey through the Brentwood Library in search of some vital appliance-battlin' info. This is one of Lazy Bear's first goofy musical montages. The clip also features everyone's favorite Lazy Bear Player, Matt the Library Guy.
 The second clip sees Dr. Logan investigating Ryan's house to the crazy tunes of Danny Elfman's "Face Like a Frog". Thrill as doors are swung open, Kyle is violated, and a call to Wanda is placed.
 Finally, check out the film's most famous scene, "Bitchin' in the Kitchen". Unfortunately due to the censorship of government television we had to remove the word "bitchin'", but the crazy house-fightin' action and obvious use of outtake footage still makes this a must see.
You can see all of these clips in the Blender Agenda section of our clips page. If you're scared of moving pictures, you can grab stills, sounds, and info here, here, and here.
And that about does it for the Flashback Series. There are a few more old vids we could plunder, but we're either not happy with them in their current state or we're saving them for something cooler down the line. For now, it looks like we've got to start making some new crap to put up here. We'll get back to you on that...

- A Night with the Bear
|
 Ok, the time is almost here, folks, so let's go through this again. ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 18TH, AT 6:30 PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME, AT THE GOOD OL' HUNTER MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART, 10 BLUFF VIEW, CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE, two fantastic Lazy Bear films will be shown as part of the Chattanooga Arts and Education Council's Independent Film Series. Those two films are the modern classics Three Conversations on the Value of Pop Culture in a Young Adult Society and Demon Alcohol. We know what you're thinking. "I've already seen those crappy movies! Why should I bother getting my fat booty out of bed to go see them again in super nice quality on a big screen in a professional setting? Blah blah blah!" Well if you'd SHUT UP for a second, you might notice that fancy poster to your left for Rosebud! The Musical. What, you've never seen this Lazy Bear toe-tapper? I guess that's because it's part of the ALL NEW, NEVER BEFORE SEEN MATERIAL that will premiere at the Hunter show. So, to see what new craziness we've come up with, please please please show up ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 18TH, AT 6:30 PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME, AT THE GOOD OL' HUNTER MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART, 10 BLUFF VIEW, CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE.
The price? A mere $10. Pocket change if you ask us. But if you're watching your moolah then never fear. We're throwing in a special deal to sweeten the pot. Anyone who makes an appearance at the event will have the opportunity to buy Lazy Bear's first ever DVD for only $3. This disc will include both Three Conversations and Demon Alcohol, all of the new material including Rosebud! The Musical, a commentary track by Logan and Ryan giving you all the behind-the-scenes info on each film, the uncut version of Rosebud! which will not be seen at the Hunter show, a photo Gallery with over 150 pictures, The Making of Three Conversations, The Making of Rosebud! The Musical, blooper reel, and probably some more crap! After the 18th, the price will skyrocket wildly. This is your only chance to grab this disc for $3. So anyway, if Lazy Bear is your kinda thing, then maybe you could spend the few bucks and the few hours to come out and show it. Or if classic southern drama is more your thing, their showing the 1938 Bette Davis, Henry Fonda film Jezebel right after our stuff. But the stars of that movie won't be there to shake your hand and sell you DVDs, so whatever. Did we mention August 18th? 6:30 EST? Hunter Museum? Okay. If you have any questions or comments, post them on the web board, or email us. Also, check the website news below for some new flashback stuff. See you on the 18th!

Flashback V: Flashenstein's Ghost
|
 We've still got a few more flashback videos for you before the series comes to a close. Remember, these are never-before-seen on the net clips from our vintage high school short films. That means two things: 1) Classic Lazy Bear comedy from our embryonic early years. And 2) Crappy VHS quality and incredibly low production values. We got better eventually.
Today's entry is comprised of the final two clips from our first sketch film Logan and Ryan's Wacky Comedy Hour. The first is A Very Short Film by Logan Lee. This baby was originally produced for the first annual BHS Night at the Oscars. Each TV student was required to submit a video for the awards, but because Logan and Ryan didn't feel like making two separate films, they collaborated on A Very Short Film and each took credit for different things, Logan for the writing and directing, and Ryan for the editing. The short was nominated, but lost to an anti-drug PSA and was never heard of again...until the boys resurrected it for inclusion in Logan and Ryan's Wacky Comedy Hour...which nobody really saw, so it was never heard of again...again...until now! A Very Short Film by Logan Lee (sometimes misidentified as Purple Monkey Doodle, the name of the film within the film) is the harrowing tale of Logan winning the award he and Ryan were submitting this video for. Pretty meta, eh? CLICKITY-CLACK HERE to judge for yourself whether we should lose it again.
 Take note, Lazy Bear trivia buffs, before Demon Alcohol, we actually made a straight PSA. Another project Brentwood High School tricked us into doing, Read A Book sees Logan wandering the halls of BHS desperately seeking answers to the world's most intriguing questions such as "How much would a used zamboni cost?" He's a real dolt until he realizes a quick trip to the library will solve all of his problems. Thanks to this PSA, fellow TV student Caitlin King remarked that whenever
she sees Logan she is reminded to read. The boys are happy to have had a
positive effect on the community. TICKLE YOUR COMPUTER HERE to get publicly serviced. And when you're through, you can enjoy all the Logan and Ryan's Wacky Comedy Hour related trivia, pics, and sound clips. We anxiously await your approval.
Oh! Before you go, check out the new site resolution. We've been Pringles Wide Mouthed!

COMPANY NEWS - Apr. 2, 2005 - Lazy Bear to Kill the Radio Star
|
Contrary to yesterday's somber news, the Bear is alive and well with an exciting new project in the works. If you missed our juvenile April Fool's prank, you can read the setup here (a reprint of the message sent out to mailing list subscribers) and see the big payoff here.
 Remember how hip local paper The Pulse, against all common sense, has actually admitted in print that they are fans of our work? Turns out they weren't kidding. Head hipster himself Editor, Bill Colrus has offered Lazy Bear its own weekly radio show on The Pulse Blog. Each 30 minute episode of Lazy Bear Productions' Radio for the Deaf will be available for download from the blog as an mp3 or in a special format designed to be uploaded directly to your iPod or other compatible portable music-a-bob. Hence the term "podcasting". Science!
The format of the show will be something akin to The National Lampoon Radio Hour, in other words: skit-style comedy. The show is just entering production and should air sometime in the next month. Make sure you're on the mailing list if you want to stay informed. Until then, check out the other great content on The Pulse Blog including Josh Daniels' fine music program and a li'l button for our show that says "COMING SOON". Coming soon? That's what she said! Man, we're funny! So, what do you think? Excited? Concerned? Offended? Deaf? Let us know.
 Incidentally, the new show should not be confused with Lazy Bear Productions' Radio Hour, our six-show pirate radio program that shocked and delighted our listening audience of exactly no one back in 2003. Unlike that show, Radio for the Deaf will be scripted and contain much less attention grabbing profanity. On the other hand, if you like profanity, you can get some clips of that show right here. There's something for everyone at the Bear.

WEBSITE NEWS - Apr. 2, 2005 - Flashback IV: DOUBLESTUFF!
|
 The only Lazy Bear production deemed TOO HOT FOR TV now comes to your PC screen. Say hello to Holiday Problems! In December of 2000, Ryan was asked, as part of his TV Productions class, to produce a five to seven minute holiday project for the local government access channel. Letting Logan take point while he filmed, the two produced a quite memorable Christmas classic in which Dr. Logan travels the halls of Brentwood High and asks the students and faculty what's been troubling them this holiday season. Then he utilizes his "Doctor of Christmas" know-how to banish their yuletide woes. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding about one of the jokes, which the teacher thought was a drug reference, it was never aired...until now! CLICK YOUR MAGIC INTERNET POINTER HERE to watch this stunning and completely improvised masterpiece come to life. Just don't expect much, I mean it's only seven minutes. To find out where the perceived drug reference was, check out the trivia at the bottom of its info page. Sounds be here and pics be here.
 Since the update was late, we'll treat you to a second clip at no extra charge. The Flashback Series is n't through with Logan and Ryan's Wacky Comedy Hour yet. This week we b ring you another sh ort clip from that film where in Logan meets his new friend Mr. Prop Door. I do hope they get a long. WATCH IT LIKE IT'S GOING OUT OF STYLE. Read the trivia. S ee the pics. Get real close to your speakers and do that comical cupping-the-ear thing, then act shocked and alarmed when you hear the sounds. We've got at least a month's worth of clips to go before we finish up the Flashback Series. Remember, kids, this is vintage high school-era Lazy Bear from the tap. So, you know, keep in mind that we eventually got better.
 Finally, a problem with the mailing list (which has since been resolved) left us temporarily unable to brag about our awesome recent interview with The Pulse. Check us out in all our groovy glory here. Some of the warm and wondrous praise heaped upon us has found its way onto our Accolades page to facilitate our self-adoration. Read and find yourself in awe of us. Then tell us how we're cooler than the Fonz (or at least Chachi) over on the web board. It's been a while since wed did a good ol' fashion plug for the board hasn't it? We talk about Christian Bale there. |
COMPANY NEWS - Mar. 17, 2005 - Lazy Bear Judged Too Awesome for Its Own Good
|
I tell ya, if you're ever in need of an ego boost, we recommend writing and directing a goofy short film and showing it to Bill Colrus, because he sure knows how to make an indy filmmaker feel welcome. Lazy Bear received it's historical first ink March 9th when The Pulse ran an article about us in their film section. It's archived on their website right here for your perusal. We won't spoil it for you, but suffice it to say that our "infectiously fresh, circular humor", "great performances", and "rugged good looks" are mentioned. Okay, we made the last one up. It was a blast to do the interview as we got to sit down and have a banter-filled chat with Bill about everything from local film to the SCTV DVD box sets. Our sincere thanks goes out to Bill and The Pulse for featuring and flattering us far more than we deserve. If you don't already read The Pulse , then for God's sake, man, start! It's free and sometimes contains snarky digs at Godard!
 In other historical news, we've finally gotten our sweaty mitts on a DVD burner. That means high quality Lazy Bear DVDs very soon! How soon? Why, Demon Alcohol and Three Conversations will be available on one budget-priced disk after they premiere at the Independent Film Series On Thursday, August 18, at 6:30 p.m. in the newly built Hunter Theater! Remember, the two films are getting slapped together by way of some never-before-seen linking material. Tickets will be under $10 and just because the folks at The Chattanooga Arts and Education Council are such standup chaps, they're throwing in a screening of Jezebel directly after our work. The linked version of the films will be available on a $5 DVD on our website once it has had its debut, however if you actually show up to the screening, you'll get to snag yours for the low low sum of $3. Frankly, these prices are insane. One must wonder if we aren't suffering from some mental instability. New flashback clip below! Check her out!

WEBSITE NEWS - Mar. 17, 2005 - Flashback III: Nipple Guy Gets His Due
|
 Lazy Bear Player Tommy Paige can finally die happy, because his most famous and prestigious role is now viewable from all internet-ready countries around the globe. We refer, of course, to his delightful turn as "Nipple Guy" in the spine-tingling horror movie trailer It Came From Joel Schumacher (which well-read fans will recall was contained within Logan and Ryan's Wacky Comedy Hour). In this high school project turned timeless classic, we expose film director Joel Schumacher for what he really is: the horrible creature that destroyed the Batman franchise and gave us such inexcusable excuses for cinema as Bad Company, 8MM, and Phone Booth. This trailer still holds the record for the most random actors in a Lazy Bear project. We  had so many scenes of people running, screaming, and just looking terrified, that we just wandered around the school roping anyone we could into the project. Look for our ol' buddy Ryan as the evil overlord himself, with Logan pulling most of the behind-the-scenes duty, appearing only in a brief cameo. Anywho, WATCH THIS MOTHER. Then, as always, catch up on your Lazy Bear history with a trip through the related trivia, pics, and sound clips. We'll be here when you get back. |
COMPANY NEWS - Mar. 6, 2005 - Two Films Collide! Their Passion Knows No Bounds!
|
As you will remember from last week, The Chattanooga Arts and Education Council is planning a summer session of their popular Independent Film Series, and they've graciously asked Lazy Bear to participate. Each night of the series, they're using a short from a local filmmaker as an appetizer to a delicious main course of classic independent film. We're now proud to announce the full details of our involvement. On Thursday, August 18, at 6:30 p.m. in the newly built Hunter Theater (a part of the Hunter Museum), Demon Alcohol and Three Conversations on the Value of Pop Culture in a Young Adult Society, edited together into one super feature exclusive to the IFS, will be shown prior to the Bette Davis, Henry Fonda picture Jezebel. Christine Holmlund, Professor of Cinema Studies at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville will be on hand to tell us all about why Jezebel is so great, and if we're lucky, why our films suck. We've been trying to figure it out for years so this could be it! Planning to skip the event since you've already seen both movies? Think again, Poncho! We're shooting brand new material to link the films together and it's gonna rock your socks. So much so, perhaps, that you'll be inclined to purchase one of the beautifully mastered and suitable for framing DVDs we will have available for sale after the screening. Details on these haven't been settled yet, but if all is right with the world, they'll have the exclusive cut of both films with the new material, plus bonus commentary, outtakes and any other goodies we can think of throwing on there. All for the low low price of...well, we haven't ironed that out either, but they'll be as cheap as we can make them. And admission to the show itself will be under $10. So bring your friends! And money! Mostly the money!
By the by, there are a ton of other talented filmmakers (many of whom we raved about after the FireFly fest last October) whose work will hit the big screen thanks to this event. Don't miss Dan  Hooper's mockumentary McDoomed, a parody of Super Size Me. Dan tells us he's double-billed with Buster Keaton's The General. If that isn't a lot of movie for your buck, we don't know what is. Check out that great old picture of Dan over there. We found it on the internet. Apparently he did a brief Broadway run as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast. Anyway, if you live near Chattanooga, you may very well be interested in getting yourself an AEC Film Club membership. Not only will you get into evening shows for matinee prices, but flashing your card will get you sweet discounts at Big River Grille, 212 Market, Wild Hare Books, Mia Cucina, and ClearSpring Yoga. Give it some thought. The summer session of the Independent Film Series runs from July to October of 2005.
 On a sad note, scheduling difficulties and hectic work loads have finally made it clear that we're not shooting Blender Agenda (the remake) anytime soon. We went back and forth on this, but since Logan and Ryan will likely be in Chattanooga for the summer, Tommy will be in Japan, and the rest of our cast will be in Nashville, it just didn't look very promising. We love the script and have every intention of trying to come back to it at some point, but for now it's been back-burnered along with our other quirky little unfinished projects. The good news is, you'll soon be seeing clips of the original Blender Agenda as well as our other high school projects thanks to our Flashback Series. Check the website news below for more.

WEBSITE NEWS - Mar. 6, 2005 - Flashback Strikes Back
|
 Last week we begun the Lazy Bear Flashback series wherein we attempt to add some video from our older projects to the site for your retro enjoyment. One of Logan and Ryan's favorite high school projects, Logan and Ryan's Wacky Comedy Hour, gets the treatment this week with the addition of the infamous Can't Buy Me Love scene. After accidentally insulting one of the girls he's interviewing for Spring Day, Logan is chased by a group of hooligans in this wacky, black and white, musical parody of the Beatles film A Hard Day's Night. Before The Package, this scene was Ryan's best editing work (according to him anyway), and it's definitely Logan's best Kung Fu work (according to Kung Fu Monthly), so you know it's worth a look. Keep an eye out for more clips from Comedy Hour in the following weeks including an appearance by everyone's favorite hellspawn, Joel Schumacher!
How will you know when we've added a new clip? Well you could do what all your friends are doing and join the mailing list. But somehow, we sense that mailing lists aren't quite geeky enough for you. You don't want to waste valuable surfing time checking your email. Or maybe you want to display the most current Lazy Bear news on your own website (we wouldn't mind that at all). Well now you can. This is a feature we've had in the testing phases for the last month, but we're now proud to call your attention to it: The Lazy Bear RSS Feed. "What's an RSS Feed?" you ask? If you have to ask you  probably won't care, but here's a good explanation. If you use Firefox as your primary browser, you'll see an orange and white logo in the lower right hand corner of this page. Play with that a bit. Instructions can be found here. You can also add us to your My Yahoo! page (and many other start pages) if that's your thing. Yahoo! instructions look something like this. Have fun, technophiles! Oh, real quick, we've also linked Bill Colrus's site NewsPinion.com in the Links. Hit him up right away or the Creeper will get ya!

COMPANY NEWS - Feb. 23, 2005 - Lazy Bear Exposes Itself to More Innocents
|
 Holy hell, we've hoodwinked some more important people into thinking we're worth our cinematic salt. This summer, Lazy Bear will be part of a special summer session of the Chattanooga Arts and Education Council's Independent Film Series. In a few months, spectators will flock to the Hunter Theater (a newly built extension of the Hunter Museum) to see our work on the big screen. The film we're going to show hasn't yet been finalized, but the tentative plan is to edit Demon Alcohol and Three Conversations into one exciting feature with brand new linking material to connect them. Is this new stuff worth seeing both films all over again? Only one way to find out. The linked version will be exclusive to the IFS and, if all goes according to plan, will be available for purchase at the theater in the form of an eye-popping special edition DVD with commentary, outtakes, and other bonus features! They'll be pretty cheap. If we sell a few of them, we may actually make our first profit. But, regardless, we'd love it if you (and everyone you know) could make it out to show your support. Exact date, time, and price to come soon. Each of the short films included in the series is being double-billed with an established "independent" film. We're opening for the 1938 Bette Davis, Henry Fonda film Jezebel. So, if you hate our movies, but just want to see Jezebel...you know...that's cool too. Apparently it's "The South's Greatest Romance". So for those of you who thought that was Deliverance, think again.
 The last time we got an opportunity like this, it was at the FireFly Film Fest where The Package premiered. And speaking of The Package (segue), it turns one year old this month. It really doesn't seem like a year since Logan and Ryan donned other people's clothes, set up a borrowed camera across the street, and forgot their lines. We don't want to name names, but we know a few of you still haven't seen this baby. If you're among them, there's no shame in clicking here. And just to remind you we're not in it for the money, you can still watch Demon Alcohol and Three Conversations for free in all their compressed glory. Now send us money.

WEBSITE NEWS - Feb. 23, 2005 - The Flashback Begins
|
 This week, we begin our Flashback Series. For the next several updates, we’ll be adding video of our older, pre-DV films to the site. We’re talking the vintage, high school era, SuperVHS stuff here, folks. Some of them will just get a few featured clips (as we’ve already done with the fridge scene from Blender Agenda), while others will be uploaded in their entirety. That’s the case with this week’s addition, Logan’s Talent Agency. It’s one of our earliest films, and although it was shot on mini-DV, this was before we had any semblance of a clue as to how to use the format. You’ll love the constant, persistent buzz in the audio and the total lack of light. Regardless, it remains a favorite of ours for many reasons, not the least of  which is the fact that it introduced the wacky inventor Sid Sheplar, Ryan’s equivalent of Dr. Love. It’s also the first film we edited digitally and the only one we had help editing. Actually it’s got all sorts of neat history associated with it which you can, as always, find on its info page. When you WATCH IT, see if you can spot the five-year-old spelling error that we just now caught. Seriously, check this one out because you may be seeing more of Sid very soon... |
COMPANY NEWS - Feb. 14, 2005 - Lazy Bear Ruins Another Holiday
|
 The updates keep on keepin' on with a special Valentine's Day treat called I Want Love, a musical look straight into Ryan's soul. Ew. Music by Elton John! CONSUME IMMEDIATELY! This project marks the return of Zach Ames and Daniel Hooper who we first worked with on Three Conversations. This time they switched roles, with Dan hopping behind the scenes and Zach mugging for the camera. Making her Lazy Bear debut is the lovely Dana Hernandez who damn near demanded that we use a screencap of her only scene for this news update. Happy, Dana?

WEBSITE NEWS - Feb. 14, 2005 - More People Are Fooled Into Liking Us
|
 Bill Colrus, Editor of The Pulse, Chattanooga's hip weekly paper, had some really great things to say about us on his blog. Then Ryan had to open his big mouth in the comments section and he started insulting us like everyone else. It was all friendly ribbing, though. As we've said before, we fell in love with Bill's local show On the Other Hand after seeing a greatest hits reel at the FireFly Film Fest. Bill made a good point about our web clips being less than friendly to Mac users. That's a problem we're working on and hope to soon resolve for our geeky, anti-establishment, iPod lovin' fans. In the meantime, we've added Bill's comments (the compliments and the hilarious retraction of said compliments) to the Accolades page along with some very kind words from Chris Willis, head video guru at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (whose film Hey Ladies, we also love). Thanks guys! Oh, also, check out info and pics from the new video, I Want Love, plus a bunch of new trivia for Demon Alcohol including a comparison of our poster for the film with the poster we parodied, that of Reefer Madness.

After you see it, make sure to leave friendly comments about newcomers Roseanna Welch, Jon Durnell, Dan Hooper, Zach Ames, and Stephanie Walker on the web board. You can leave your complaints about Logan and Ryan there as well. If you missed Demon Alcohol you can still watch it here. Also, keep checking back as a new short should show up in a week or so.

WEBSITE NEWS - Feb. 3, 2005 - Lazy Bear Emails Have Twice the Spam of Competitors'
|
| Screen captures, sound clips, and behind the scenes info and trivia for our latest cinematic treasure Three Conversations on the Value of Pop Culture in a Young Adult Society are at your disposal. We've collected all the preview pics we released on the film journal prior to release as well as over 50 new screencaps from the short in one convenient place.
What's that you say? You didn't see the preview pics? You didn't read the film journals?! What were you thinking?! And don't try to use ignorance as an excuse. We told everyone about it on our fancy schmancy mailing list. You're not a member of our mailing list?! We just now got a mailing list?! The rhetorical questions are pissing you off?! Well why didn't you say so?
Look, the point is we've got a mailing list now! That means if you want to stay up to date on all things Lazy Bear, just slap your name and email in the little form directly below this update or go here. We promise not to sell your email to a faceless corporation. You can trust us. After all, we never told that girl who lives in the apartment above you how hot you think she is. Oh dammit!
Oh, before we let you go, three things:
1) One of the reasons we were slow to bring you this update was because we ran out of web space. Yes, Lazy Bear has finally grown beyond even its own unrealistic expectations. So we've upgraded our plan and now have a hefty 300 megabytes to work with. That means more quality entertainment for the masses. Now's as good a time as any to remind you that our host, 3shost.com totally rocks. Seriously, go get an account with them; you'll love it.
2) The links section is now empowered to take you to the musical domain of Loren DiGiorgi whose brilliant work will soon be featured in a Lazy Bear film.
3) Check out what some random guy had to say when he stumbled onto our image gallery. |
