Alaska POSTPONED, again, shit shit shit shit shit …

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Arrrgh!  Sorry, sorry, sorry … again it’s happened that we must postpone this shot.  Sarah Palin can’t make it; something about a bowhunting appointment.  And I personally am caught with my pants down because I just got back in town.  For all of you who were able & planning to make it, please accept my apologies.

But it’s springtime, and opportunities abound!  We will do this, and soon.  Watch this space!

P.S.  Mrs. Palin asks that if you have a red power suit to lend, or a straight-haired red wig, or a large gage shotgun or a stars-and-stripes two piece bikini, please get in touch.

Snazzy Portland vs. Cold Alaska!

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Attention volunteers, weirdos and northern soaks!

Believe it or not, folks, but Snazzy Portland is still in production.  Like a grizzly bear, it takes long naps and wakes up HUNGRY!

We are now planning our third group-shot for the video, set in scenic ALASKA!  We’re very tentatively planning this shoot for SUNDAY MARCH 7.  (At this juncture it’s hard to be sure about the weather, so we will re-confirm or reschedule later this week.)

For this shot, we need extras who resemble typical inhabitants of Alaska, such as:

LUMBERJACKS! (flannel, suspenders, boots, cap, axe, etc.)
FISHERMEN! (rubber rain gear, beards, pipes, fish, etc.)
BEARS! (believe it or not, i already have a bear costume.  want to wear it?)
other WOODLAND CREATURES (moose, crab, hockey player, etc.)
SARAH PALIN!  (stars-n-stripes bikini, shotgun, square framed glasses, etc.)

.. or any other ALASKAN you can think of.  What do Alaskans look like, anyway?  Your guess is as good as mine.  (If you’ve been there, your guess is better!)

As before, I humbly ask that if you are able to show up dressed like this, or if you own any of these prop/costume items and would lend them for the shoot, please get in touch with me so I can coordinate the madness!

Thanks for all you do!

Crap!  Sorry folks, we have a hospitalized cat on our hands.  I have to reschedule this for Wednesday morning, one day later than planned.

Same time, same place, different day.  Sorry to jerk you around, but it’s literally a life or death matter.  (I hope if you couldn’t make it before, you can now.)

VOODOO TOO, the east-side sattelite of Voodoo Donuts!  At 1501 NE Davis St.  (NOT the one downtown!)

  • Marijuana-print clothes
  • Jamaican national colors
  • Dreadlocks
  • Tie-dye everything
  • Grateful dead paraphernalia
  • Halie Selassie
  • Or, if you’re already a stoner, come as yourself.

Furthermore, we are very much in need of the following sorts of props:

  • Bongo drums
  • Huge headphones
  • An enormous joint
  • A vast hookah
  • A hacky-sack of immense girth
  • Any smoking paraphernalia that you’re not afraid to be seen with in public & on film.
  • Bob Marley
  • Anything and everything stony, especially if it’s large.

If you can’t bring those props or costumes, please let me know if I can come borrow them this evening for tomorrow‘s shoot.

Also, be sure to dress appropriately for the utterly unpredictable Portland weather.  Donuts, fruit and coffee will be provided.  Please help us make our stony dreams come true.

Thanks all over again!
