OCTOBER 6, 13, 20, 27 at 2pm at the Strasburg Theater is going to be a lot of fun. REVENGE OF A MONKEY'S UNCLE will be playing all these days opening for MIR's live performance of their score to Lon Chaney's 1925 silent film: PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. This is a fantastic opportunity to catch not only one of the most imaginative, critically acclaimed interpretations of the silent film in recent years, but also to catch REVENGE OF A MONKEYS UNCLE on four separate days on the big screen once again. I'd like to give Starship Ed and Will O'Donovan (MIR) special thanks for giving me an opportunity to show this well received and heavily discussed short film for 4 special encore OCTOBER screenings. I'd Highly Advise attending this event. It is wonderful to see silent films making a comeback, and I am thrilled to be sharing a ticket with such a fun and talented interpretation. It may be one of the few times in your life that you may ever get a chance to see a silent movie with original score performed live, and for sure it will be the last time to catch the Donen Indie Grits Film Festival official selection REVENGE OF A MONKEY'S UNCLE.

5$ for Adults and
3$ for children and Seniors

*a limited number of special edition DVD's will be available for purchase

WRITE IT DOWN on the CALENDAR AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR HARD WORKING LOCAL ARTISTS!! Thank you in advance for all that attend we will do all in our power to make it an unforgettable night.

Thanks again,

True Love, Thank Yous and Inspiration

Since my move up here it has been difficult to find enthusiasm for art. I'd like to make public a personal thank you to "Starship" Ed Kyle and the enthusiasm that he has brought forth to a project that I thought may never see the light of day (TRAVELER). Starship Ed Kyle is a graphic artist from VCU that has had his hands in may projects over the years. His love and enthusiasm for art has breathed new life in projects that needed a defibrillator. I believe in him, and I no doubt understand that he believes in me. Currently I am in the process helping Ed produce on DVD a forthcoming "live" interpretation of the famous Lon Chaney version of the silent movie Phantom of the Opera. Phantom in no doubt connects with many of us on a deeply psycological note. I am happy to be a part of this. Ed Kye and Will O'Donovan will perform publicly to classic silent movies offering their own brand of post modern hypo-prog rock scores. I'd like to take this time now to personally thank him Starship Ed Kyle , and make him a an official member of the UDDERSHIET family. Ed Kyle (truly unique musician and graphic artist) has shown enthusiasm in helping me produce TRAVELER the warning. He has been an infinite source of inspiration and wisdom. On the same vein of thank you's:

I'd like to personally thank Matt Chellini for giving me as a graduation present my personal website to help in completing projects now and in my immediate and distant future. He has helped me get this far dealing with late night calls, technical problems and insight into information trends, links to needed info, and god only knows what else. Last and certainly not least .

I want to thank the love of my life Catherine. She has not only helped me to tap into parts of my imagination that I thought were long gone or comatose , but she is also a loving understanding partner that deals with my many eccentricities on a daily basis. Her wry sense of humor has made me come to reflect upon myself just when I seem to be taking the world too seriously. Her beautiful son Ethan has also forced me to think outside my head and revert myself to a state where everything is wonderful and a vibrant and imagination can buy you happiness. This is just what I need in times to come ahead. When we grow up we loose so much of our imagination and sense of wonder and her and Ethan bring me a fantastic world to my doorstep each day.

As usual thanks for listening,
tjparsons
