Just a Dollop Will Do

I am almost finished with the Christmas album. It's amazing to work with Nathan. He is fantastic at coming up with new and original ideas that blow my mind. We are recording a string quartet next week. I'm looking forward to that.

Next weekend, Sept. 8th and 9th, I'll be in Fillmore, Utah for their Arts and Living History Festival. I will be doing a variety of activities including a free concert on the 8th at 6:30 pm at the Territorial Statehouse Park.

The improv show on Thursday went well. We did an improv that I had never done before called "Awkward Silence". We are going to start having special guests come do the shows with us. Make sure you get your tickets early for the next few shows.

Season three of "Arrested Development" came out yesterday. I love that show.
I was happy that "24" won at the Emmys.

I really like the flavor of Keebler Original Chips Deluxe cookies with a dollop of creamy Skippy peanut butter on top. You shouldn't over-do it though. One cookie is enough. If you eat more, your stomach feels way too full and you will forget how delectable the taste was in your mouth. It's like eating too much cookie dough. The first two spoonfuls are magical, but by #10, you feel sick. And not too much peanut butter either. Just a dollop. I've tried chunky, but then you're mouth is too focused on chewing The chunks of nuts instead of enjoying the smooth, rich flavor jubilee.

August- Utah Concerts

I had a great time in Brigham city, Utah on Friday. I met a lot of nice people at the Reflections Bookstore. Thanks to everyone who came to visit.

The winners of the free concert, Gracia and Lindsey, had an enjoyable party/barbeque. I played songs, told stories, and hung out for a few hours. Thanks Gracia. Tell Friend the burgers were awesome. And Dan, you are one of the best!

On Saturday, I played at the Highland Fling in Highland, Utah. The event planner, Emily, was a joy to work with. The entire day was filled with entertainment, parades, and activities. Great Job! As far as the concert goes, all I can say is that I miss 9th grade. Thanks to everyone who listened to the songs and stuck around afterwards to talk.

New CD Release!

It has been a while. Tomorrow is the official release date of my new album "Braver Days." The CD will then be available in most stores. I will be in Utah for the whole week and promote "Braver Days" as well as the film "Take a Chance", which will also be in stores tomorrow.

LDS Film Festival

Next week Saturday, I will do two Actor's Workshops at the LDS Film Festival in Orem, Utah. I am scheduled for two 2-hour sessions, one at 10:00 a.m., the other at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 21.

The workshops cost $10.00/each and are being held at the Scera Center for the Arts in Orem (745 South State Street). You can order tickets online at www.scera.org or call at 801-225-ARTS.

At 3:30 p.m., the LDS Film Festival will also screen the premiere of the film "Take a Chance" with Corbin Allred and myself in it. I will be there together with director John Lyde. Tickets for this event are $5.00.

And, I will be playing a few songs prior to the screening of the closing night film of the festival, "The Return," which starts at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 21. That means I will probably start playing at around 7:00 p.m.

You can look up the festival schedule at www.ldsfilmfestival.org. They have an amazing line-up of films and filmmakers this year. You should definitely check it out. I hope to see you at the festival.
