Thanks Douglas!

For many years I worked the stage door at a B'way house. Had a ball, met alot of famous celebs, (I literally could write a tell all and make a bundle as I know some decent dirt on some biggies...) Still freelanced in film and video though, worked on a few shoots and shot some industrials and did sound and recording.
Then we moved to Berkeley and I wound up doing all kinds of freelance things and stagehand work at a regional theater. We had a kid, (mini-Mack!) and 3 grandparents to help out back in NYC was too tempting to pass up. But I did get my album done out there which is now out!

Nice! You should write down all your stories. Glad to see the strike is over and you can get to work. Has anyone heard if the writer's strike is over?

pretty sure that's still on. I have some friends in L.A. who are pretty nervous.

Yeah I have some friends that work on a tv series, they aren't out of scripts yet, but it's getting pretty thin. My guess is that if its not over yet, it probably won't be until the producers run out of scripts.

Almost every show is out of scripts and shut down now.

A buddy of mine said they still have enough for a few more weeks. Episodic TV shows like With out a Trace and ER are normally several months ahead of the air dates of the episode being shot. At least this early in the season, when they get to March they sometimes have to run a rerun because the show has fallen behind.

I know it was reported that some shows had enough scripts to finish the whole season.

There's still episodes that haven't run yet for nearly every series but most have shut down production because the writers haven't been writing for about a month and most shows don't write that far in advance.

Sorry about continuing to run off topic.

Will you please stop side-tracking this thread any further at once!

Thanks!

Edit: OK, Travis apologized just in time.

Sorry too, Cees!

Was Mr. Stoker a WGA member?
