Free iPod, anyone?

Now, I normally am not one for plugging; but I can say of my friend Katee that she has one great blog. Confessions of A Young Married Couple. Why do I plug you ask? Why, because they're giving away a free iPod. And everyone likes free (including me).

You Spin Me Right Round, Baby!

Whoo!

What a crazy couple of weeks it has been for both of us. D&D, opening the Haunted Hotel,Sam & Andrew's wedding (good friends from Yale) and my first commercial!

We've been playing Keep On The Shadowfell and John is DMing. We've had a few great sessions and one 10 HOUR MARATHON and we're finally getting to the meat of it all. I have to commend our friend Brian, he's playing an evil avenger of Bahamut (I still haven't figured it out either) and did some of the best RP I've ever seen last session. He convinced a Hobgoblin War Chief to hire us, and then we killed him. And took over the clan. And sent them somewhere else. It was brilliant.





I've included a pic of Brian so you can see the amazing shirt he was wearing during these shenanigans.



The Haunted Hotel has been equally satisfying. It's at City Tech (where J teaches) and they brought me in to work with the actors. It was an interesting challenge to bring a room full of Tech students who have never acted up to speed in an hour. There were bumps, but we opened last weekend and from all I can tell everyone is having a lot of fun with it.



This weekend I filmed my first commercial spot. It should be up on the interwebs in a few weeks, and you can bet your sweet pinky toe nail that I'll be posting it everywhere possible, so stay tuned.

Finally; on Sunday we went to the wedding of our friends Samantha and Andrew and it was wonderful. Quite possibly the funnest wedding I've ever been to, including our own. They have wonderful taste and every detail was perfect ~ it was really wonderful to be a part of it. Below are some of my favorite pics from the afternoon.

D&D Anyone?


Just wanted to share my favorite shot from a photo shoot I did last week with Nathan Blaney. The nerds in the audience will appreciate it in a big way!

Nathan was a lot of fun to work with and was willing to experiment with my gaming concepts a little. This is John's favorite too.

We're sharing the couch at the moment and prepping for a game on Saturday with our friends Ben & Jen (BJen, as you may know them). It'll be my second round of DMing and I'm trying to keep my conscious mind occupied while I come up with schemes of the best way to meddle in the lives of these "helpless" player characters. Muahahaha.
