Hope to see you soon!

Hey Gang,
If you live in San Mateo County and get Comcast or Astound Cable watch out for my first half hour TV show: Obscura. It airs on PenTV Comcast 26, Astound 27 beginning on Monday @ 5pm then Wed @ 10:30pm and Sunday@ 10pm (Vimeo and Youtube links to follow for everybody else.)

I had little time to write this show, and even less time to film it, no director, almost no crew and it was very Wham Bam! But, for all of that I think the show came out really well! I don't know if there will be a chance to make more but if nice people email the station and say "GIVE US OUR OBSCURA!" then who knows =) Here's crossing fingers.

Hey all, April 30, May 1&2 will be the next Odd Gathering. We will meet in Livermore (more info at the link in the signature below, go tot he venues tab)
Still only $75 for the weekend. C.Cagical will be there, and Doug Higley is the guest of honor this year. I invite you to join us for a taste of the Unusual!

So here it is. I don't know if I'll get to do more with PenTv. Things are changing over there so here's crossing fingers. But I'll say again, if everybody posts on PenTv's Youtube Channel how BRILLIANT they think the show is and how there should be MORE, then who knows

The show hasn't official aired yet, and the Vimeo video hasn't gone public yet but here is their Youtube Channel.
It's in segments

And a special thank you to illusioneer for letting me use the title of the show.

Bob... and Allison... Bobby Allison.

Way to go Christian!

What a grand afternoon "Magic with the Symphony" was!

Jay Alexander's effervescence is contagious, as his manic magical mayhem unfolds.

The SF Sinfonietta's playing was glorious, with a focus on Mozart but Bizet, Weill, and Joplin featured in as well. Super Gigi's high-camp was dry and bold as always.

Great to see old friends in the audience along for the ride.

I hope Jay can do this again next year!

Congrats Christian on the article. I saw the preview and can't wait to read the whole article.

Have I mentioned that Christian will be attending the Odd Gathering, showing his stuff and sharing his wisdom?

What better way to spend the first weekend in May than out in Livermore with a midnight movie of Wickerman, and hanging with Christian, and Doug Higley.....

Only $75 for the weekend, still have some space, see the venues button at the website in the signature line for more info and to contact me.

YES AAAAAALLLLL BEHOLD MY WISDOM!!!!!!
Really I'm just going to see Wickerman

Who hosts the "magic garage" in the bay? Some one told me about it, maybe kent gunn?


How can you find out the names of members of bay area magic groups?

The Wicker Man surely is a great movie. I remember watching it the 1st time and it was a classic case of "rooting for the monster" the whole time.

If you get a chance to listen to the soundtrack I highly suggest it.

The Oakland Magic Circle is having it's annual Swap Meet/ Auction next tuesday, the 6th of April. It's the largest one of it's kind in the region, and it's a great place to meet and network with other Bay area magicians. Frank Balzerak usually sets up a table, as does Daryl, and several other notable magi as well!

Hope to see you there!

Oh kool!..I will try to be there Gaddy.

One more bump for the 5 people who seem to read this thread. OMC swap meet this tuesday!

Looking forward to the swap meat, I'm bringing some pork chops & hope to swap them out for some nice steaks.


I hope to get rid of some stuff & free up some space, the big temptation of course is to not buy more than I sell.


Mike

Gaddy,

Thanks for the swap meet reminder. I'll be there!

KCG5,

The Magic Garage is NOT run by me. I'm not that cool. It is run by a fine fellow and a pal of mine. I've PM'ed you with details.

Big Mike!!! Woo-hoo, see you at the swap meat! I'll bring some live chickens.

KG

Live chickens?

Kent,I have never loved you more than I do at this moment!



Mike

Thanks for the OMC swap meet reminder.
See you there.

Dan
