It's been years, and some of you may remember me, but I'm finally back on the Café and looking forward to being active in the community again. I had a few years away from things due to military service, but I'm a full blown civilian after twelve years in the Air Force and looking forward to this breath of fresh freedom. I've already gotten my new show almost written and can't wait to get back on stage! I also am excited about creating new effects again.

My last work was coming up with the original concept for "Pointless," and worked on it with Gregory Wilson for a couple of years before it was released. I have a few more ideas in the works and will definitely be coming here for reference and sessioning.

Anyway, it's great to be back and I look forward to chatting with some fellow brethren. Hi again!

I think you mean brethren and sistern. (I'm sorry, I couldn't contain myself)

I guess we'll see you in the Close-Up and Stage fora.
