Day 26 Love Wins!!!

Hey Bud, as you already saw on Facebook, Anthony and I had a great time at Club Avalon in Hollywood. It was Tigerheat's 10th Anniversary complete with male go-go dancers. Tigerheat is the young clubbers night on Thursdays at the Avalon, and man those kids were young! I looked like a cougar dancing with Anthony, but he didn't care. He just twerked up and down and all around that dance floor!

What a special day in history. Marriage equality in all 50 states! Anthony was asking me over breakfast how many states are in the US, and I wondered where that came from. Now I know. It cracks me up how the kids keep up with current events via Snapchat, Twitter, etc. He knew all the breaking news during his whole visit here. It's actually pretty cool. Kids are pretty savvy than they're given credit for.

Anyways, I'm still working on that video. Geesh! Hoping to record a bit of Anthony singing since it's his last day today. Fingers crossed.

Anyways, see ya later for our family BBQ as we celebrate Anthony's graduation. Yay!

Here's the Vine again. I've got it everywhere (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). I might as well post on my blog too. Oh, and of course this Vine features another one of my royalty free music tracks!

Day 19 Hollywood!

Hey Bud, this is probably my shortest, most last minute (and very late) post to date. So busy. Anyways, Anthony's having a good time and so am I.

Shout out to my pals Alias Means at Nickelodeon Animation and Rob Greffey at Paramount Studios for showing us where they work.

So here's day 2 of Anthony's visit. I present "Hollywood!"

Day 16 Come what may

Hey Bud, today at 10:00 am Pacific time Live At Lockett's launches on YouTube today and I'm a bit nervous. What if no one watches? What if it's awful and everyone watches? Oh whatever. Come what may. Do what you can. Don't do what you can't. It's all random. Just like this Vine.

P.S. I love you Bud.

Day 12 Happy Friday! To that I say alright, alright, alright

Hey there Bud, so here's my latest cartoon. Actually there's another one in the works, this is the latest one that is complete to a degree. I'm all about quantity these days as I'm trying to keep up with all the things I want to do.

In other creative pursuits, I'm about to record a new cover tune. I thought music was going to take a short hiatus. Instead I'm picking up my guitar and having a lot of fun playing songs that perk my ears. It's completely out of the blue. Even the material I'm playing isn't what I expected. Such fun and a 180 from my downer mood early in the week. 

With a flurry of activity, each day feels more like 2. Fulfillment is good feeling and it's good for the soul; and to that I say alright, alright, alright.

Day 10 A really dumb Vine

Hey Bud, no rhyme or reason in posting this pretty dumb Vine, except I'm in the midst of animating in Flash again. Funny that I haven't returned to writing my music bio yet. It is what it is.

Sorry for the short post, things are looking up. Again no reason. I'm happy to be taking another crack at creating a cartoon. Working on drawing mouths and lip synching.

So, until it's ready, I give you Puddy on Vine. You may recognize the music loop. It's the Vegas one I did a while back, which reminds I've got to post that on my Royalty Free Music Room website.

Without further ado…

Day 8 You got a heart so big, it could crush this town.

Hey there Bud (aka Christy)!

Well we've been at this blogging thing for a whole week! This is a short entry. Got a busy day ahead of me. Anyways, there were only 2 good things in that Larry Crowne movie; George Takei and the use of this song, which was originally in She's The One back in the day.

Always liked this tune. Since we're both Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers fans, I dedicate this Vine to you because you do have a heart so big it could crush this town.

Love,
Edie

Day 7 of Sister Summer Blog

Dear Bud (aka Christy),

My back still hasn't recovered completely and it kept me from going out. However I did manage to create some shiz this weekend. Worked on some music and did some drawing. How 'bout dem apples? I'm not ready to post an mp3 just yet of that cover song I recorded last Friday night. So I emailed you the link instead.

To keep up with my multi-media blogs, I created another stop motion animation / whiteboard art piece and posted it on Vine and YouTube. The Vine loop is cool, but man, :06 sec and the square aspect ratio can sometimes be limiting. So I'm posting both. The edited-for-Vine version and the unedited-director's-YouTube-video-cut (a whopping :10 sec) in all its high-def glory straight from my iPhone. Ha!!

I was a little down last night because I didn't go out, and then the nail in the coffin was watching "Larry Crowne" on HBO Now. Holy crap. That movie really sucked. I was in the mood for some likable, no brainer, happy fluffy stuff and I thought Tom Hanks would fit the bill. Wow, it sucked so bad that I actually feared for my own art. I mean, Tom Hanks with all his success and clout makes this embarrassingly awful out-of-touch movie. Who the hell am I to even consider being part of the film community or a musician or an animator or anything? Thankfully, I squelched my bad juju by going to my iTunes library and finding the first thing that would strike a chord in me to draw, and behold John Lennon's "Love." An appropriate message for me being a hater. It's kinda inspiring knowing that Tom Hanks is human after all. If he can strike out, then so can I, and just move on to the next project up at bat.

So there it is, my post for today. I'm hoping to catch an early matinee of Love & Mercy, the new movie about Brian Wilson. So excited to see my dear pal Johnny Sneed on the big screen as drummer Hal Blaine. I've already seen the movie at work, but I want the whole theater experience, especially the studio scenes of Pet Sounds. How I love movies about musicians, oh and movies about baseball too. Tom Hanks, if you ever read this, I love A League Of Their Own and That Thing You Do!

Love,
Edie
