That's a Wrap!
Chasing Windmills is wrapping up its second season this week. Are you a fan? A friend? A foe? Join us for the Chasing Windmills Wrap Party this Thursday at the Kitty Cat Klub, after 8:00 p.m. (They certainly don't have the best website in the world.) Come heckle the characters, meet the cast, and tell us how you could have done it so much better.
In the meantime, if you need a mindless diversion to occupy your time while you're at work, complete a short Chasing Windmills survey.

Sad! I want to be there!
So do I!
Max has to be there. What is your excuse?
The bells, I will be there with them on. Manly, manly bells.
You all know wtfmn was in a recent episode, don't you? Cuz I just found out.
I was???? Holy shit!
I won't say which one.
I'm charging for autographs, just like DiMaggio. And please, no eye contact.
Bells or balls?
I'm there. So, you know, don't everyone stay away.
Steve, if I buy the card for you to sign, do I have to chew the crappy brittle gum that comes with it?
Start driving, rex. If you leave soon, you'll make it in time. (Getting back might not be so easy.)
You really want my autograph?? Oh! You like me! You really, really like me! (Spinning around on heels, closing eyes, hugging myself.)
Ahem, I mean...of course not, Jeremy. That gum is just for the old-timey stale bubblegum smell. I don't care what you bring me to sign. Just as long as you pay up the $5.
I don't care what you bring me to sign
If you knew me, that's not a blank check you'd hand to me quite so readily.
Marsh wouldn't care. He already signed my wiener.
He signed it "Welcome to Jamaica, mon; enjoy your stay."
I thought Rex was already going to book a flight because he commented about a "new hot blogger in town".
Two birds with one stone dude; use those frequent flier miles.
"Can you hear my typing? w-w-w-dot-n-w-a-dot-c-o-m. Booked!"
In that case, if Marsh usually just signs his initials, I should be in good shape.
I don't think I can be there 'til later (unless someone wants my host shift at Temple) so please stick around, everyone! I like to drink, I like to party, and I probably like you.
Yo ho ho... Please fill out the survey in Cristina's post. Good stuff. We'll announce winners (and total losers) at the event. Make this a celebration of local film. JA and Cristina are too modest to say it but let's face it -- they kick ass.
I didn't realize Alexis was Jewish and that there was reserved seating at Temple.
As Perez sez "Inneresting."
I'll see you Kats there!
I'm an honorary.
I'll be there too! I'm in the cast... just barely.
You post during the 10pm news?
By 10:09 I was off the air! I often post before and during the news. Don't tell my bosses! (Ah.. they know. They can't stop me, they can only hope to contain me.)
One of you needs to call me and tell me how much fun you're having. (Btw, I'm still trying to make it back for Voltage.... maybe.)
Oh, sure... somehow voltage is more important, Rex?
voltage isn't archived, and the models are more scantily clad?
WE can work on the scantily clad bit... I'm sure Alexis, Amber, and Jen will cooperate. Hell, we can probably even get Marsh, Johnny, and Jeremy to pitch in.
*searches the closet for his daisy dukes*
I kind of want to go just to give max a great big hug.
What happens in my world? The only two film projects that I make an appearance, have events on the same night and time. I'll be pulling an "Alexis" and making my way to the KKC on the later end.
We'll all be treated to a Johnny vs. Marsh drink-off. DeRusha will be officiating until his 9:30 curfew kicks in, and he turns into a bumpkin.
Will Matt be there? I think he owes me a drink.
I'm an honorary.
Is being an honorary Jew one step too far removed to be honorary brown? I don't think I'm going to have Rich's t-shirt in time for the party.
Could I be an honorary "Magic Negro"?
I'll try to be there for a bit, but you do NOT want me to have anything to do with "scantily clad."
budjr-
It'd be pretty funny if you attended a function where you actually have to communicate with people without the protection of your keyboard and screen.
Could I be an honorary "Magic Negro"?
Gotta wait until my Tragic Mulatto gig is up.
Gotta wait until my Tragic Mulatto gig is up.
That's a good gig. The black Irish gig is up for me -- apparently, the United Kingdom is entirely made up of Spaniards, so being black Irish is no longer so damn special.
I could be an honorary Magic Realist. I'd walk around and saying things like "In all of the seven villages, Pulque's parrot was certainly the greenest".
I just want to help.
I'm coming as Pure Swede. Which means I'm not black magic Irish.
Cue up the ol' Santana, baby!
Raindog66 -
We waited for you. Wondering, watching, searching for sight of you. You never appeared, or if you did, you didn't yell out "YO! Raindog66 in da hizzouse!" Therefore, the one night where I felt hope I would actually meet my mnspeak hero was for naught.
I cried a little inside.
But, on a side note, it was supa fun to see Max, Jason, Steve, Erica, Jonny, Paul, Bob, Andrew, S4xton, wtfmn (I will use their screen names to protect the innocent...namely, me) and the rest of the crew there. There was a rumor that Matt was there, too, but apparently he's not a smoker, and since I spent the majority of the night with the Kool Krowd on the patio, we were like two ships, passing in the night...
Matt was there, glowing with a fresh tan from Paris, which confused me, because do people get tan in Paris?
The party was great fun. But where the fuck was Chuck?
Good times... and Cristina and Juan Antonio picked up too much of the tab. I owe you two drinks - very seriously. And I owe Steve Marsh a drink too.
Great to see everyone and great to meet a few people I haven't met in person.
Max also promised that the next drink of the week will be the Iron Butterfly. It's the new white belt drink. For a week.
Amber, you are Raindog. We all know it.
It was indeed good times had by all tonight. I stayed way later than I intended, but ended up getting a second and third wind. I was so entertained by DeRusha and Jadelr's stories that I couldn't leave.
We weren't that entertaining... we just talk too much. And how funny that we all logged on when we got home. Funny? Or sad?
Violating doctor's orderds and typing with lest hand to say I had a great time. too. Sorry I had to leave before derusha and others arrived. BTW, did anyone find my cell phone? Its missing, no doubt deep in one of the couches at the kit kat...
Dude, I've said it once, and I'll keep sayng it - if I was half as funny as Raindogg, I would take all the credit to my real name.
You know it!
Matt was there?!??!?!
Awe man. How did I miss that?
It might have been the two Iron Butterflies... or maybe the two Rum and Cokes... or maybe it was the two Amaretto Sours?
DeRusha, I was being polite. I was thinking "rambling stories without breath or punctuation" but felt it that it was kind of rude to say that out loud. I'm thoughtful that way. *grin* But seriously, it was nice meeting you and so many others.
Yeah sorry guys I was getting drunk and watching my friends do karoke at the vfw.

Liar. You don't have any friends.
If only! I seem to now.
Got phone back. Snaps to KK Club owners who let me in to search. Was afraid Steve Marsh was using it to dial some of the numbers in back of CP on the ALA's dime.
Max, I'll get the contact info to you on the Shakers thang. Thanks also to you and Erica for pulling Lurker Bob into the fray.
That's right, because all of us smokers are inveterate porn addicts too...you son of a bitch.
