And update at long last.
Hi all, yes, i realise that its been ages since I posted (thanks Newman!) so I thought I'd quickly update you as to recent events.
1) The Adelaide Premiere of Thrash Bus 2 - Took place on Feb 3rd, in the Iris Cinema (part of the Mercury Cinema Complex in Adelaide) and was a great success. The event was partially pirated by Richard Muhlack and put onto Youtube. Which legitamises me as a film director. You ain't a proper film director unless your stuff has been pirated and put onto the internet. For those who are getting a copy on DVD, the premiere has photos and video footage which is on a special menu of the DVD.
2) Leanne & Dave Walker got married. Lisa and I were unable to be there, but I saw photos and watched the weather report and saw that it was HOT HOT HOT! Leanne in a dress! Woo hoo!
3) Grandma - well, the last of my grandparents died at the beginning of the month. Grandma made it to 90, and after suffering for a few months with cancer of just about every vital organ, passed away in Keith Hospital. We were lucky to get to spend last Christmas with her, and her presents will be sorely missed.
4) Warwick & Kiah visited in early March as well, and we got to see baby Hugh and his three little teeth. He was also starting to walk a little, quite wobbly but still a definite move on from crawling. It was good to see them all.
5) The computer has now been upgraded, with faster CPU and a RAID system for editing video on. I am currently working on two projects: the first is David and Kate Boon's wedding video, and the second is an anthology collection of each and every video done by Fernby Films since it began. This will also include the first ever video I made, Alien IV, which currently only exists on VHS tape. Of course, some digital mastering might have to be done to get it to a good condition, so we'll see what we have got soon enough. I am currently going through all the master tapes from the vault and unearthing some true delights. The only omission will be Thrash Bus 2, which has already been released on DVD. The FF Anthology will be a four disc set, available only to those special few who will know of its value.
6) The imminent collapse of the Pad. Apparently the block which housed the old Pad has cement cancer, and is quite close to being condmned. The balcony's which surround the block, both downstairs and up, require replacement, which is going to cost in the vicinity of $300,000. Thats five zeroes people! Mum and Dad are up for roughtly $60,000 themselves, money they do not have, so there is a little worry at this stage how its all going to resolve itself. If the building is left untouched, it will soon be unlivable. And if people try to sell their apartments, they have to disclose the fact to prospective buyers. And cop a $60,000 loss on their investment. Bad news all round really.
Anyway, thats all the news that fit to print, I'm out of here and away to Boony's 30th birthday party.!
