RockStar

RockStar So, it's been a little while since I last wrote something.  Well, here's a quick sum up of what I've been doing;  I had to go with Helen to Georgia to visit her cousins in Georgia for a 'cousins' weekend, but that's a whole story for a different time.  I've been working a lot on a new animation for the show.  It's a 'Weed Fairy Tale' called 'The Bong of Eternal Stench' that starts off with Pothed finding a bong on the porch and ends with a Heman/ThunderCats parody telling of it's origins.  I know it sounds weird, but trust me, it's gonna be pretty damn funny.
  Right now, I'm working three days on that show 'RockStar'.  It's the one like American Idol, but they're auditioning for a band.  Last year they were auditioning for INXS.  They won't tell us who it's for this year.  Yesterday we sat through about 250 people in the big cattle call and today we listened to about 80 people for the scheduled auditions.  Needless to say, today's auditions sounded a lot better than yesterdays. Although, there were really funny ones yesterday.  I think my favorite yesterday was this old guy that looked almost like a homeless dude who came in DRUNK Dammit.  I mean, this guy was barely standing.  And when he was onstage waiting for his turn, he started dancing and spinning around in the background while this other girl was singing and then he started humping the wall!  Then, when it was his turn to sing, he didn't say his name or anything, but just started in on some song about doing rails of coke and wouldn't stop when they tried to give him the cue!  I had to help escort him from the building afterward.  Well, he came back today also.  He told one person that he was there for his callback, and he told somebody else he was there for his audition and he didn't remember doing one yesterday!  I had to help escort him from the building today as well.  I have one more day on RockStar, and then they're going to some other city for more auditions.  I wonder what band it's for...  That would be funny if it were something lame like 'Hanson needs a new lead singer' or something like that.  I wonder if people ever drop out once they find out who the band is.  Oh well, whatever
  Well, that's all I got right now.  I hope I can find a time to film some more on 'Pothedz Couch'.  It's always hard to find a time we all have free since we all work weird and different hours, but I know we'll get it done eventually.  I just hope our new fans haven't given up on us by then.  Until next time...
