From Here To Awesome Page is Up!

Hello all!

It's here! The page is up and running and we are thrilled about it! We have been getting people looking at the site and hopefully people are getting a message about the movie. We hope that when we get the download available, people will take advantage of it and watch the movie. Here is the link to the clip in case you got here someother way...

I had another screening here in New Zealand and people really enjoyed the film and its messages. It is always so interesting what people see in the movie that I didn't think people they would after seeing it only one time. When you see it a couple of times, you even catch more of the message and the fun! There were even some people who have worked with Peter Jackson, so that was pretty cool!

I am staying here with a friend whom I know from Colorado and we are enjoying the West Coast of beautiful New Zealand. She has been here for 14 years has a pub/restaurant and is playing in a band so it's fun to be here visiting! I am going to be going down to the southern parts where the stations--what the call ranches here-- so maybe I will run into people with horses there and I can be around them for a bit.

Weel that's about it for now and hopefully I will have some more fun news soon! It's great to be here and even though I miss my family, I am happy here at the moment! Take care of your waitresses and waiters and bartenders! You wouldn't have the fun without them!

Peace,

New Zealand

Hello or should I say Kia Ora,

That's the greeting here in New Zealand which is where I am at the moment. It's very beautiful here and the people are still as wonderful and nice as they were when I was here 10 years ago.

I am going to be here for a little bit and will keep a post going here on the blog. The big things happening are that the radio interview that was on NPR a year ago is going to be played again on KAWL--a staion in San Francisco. They are using the movie as a thank you for people who pledge to the station! I think that's really great! Still getting the message out. Also I am in the From Here to Awesome Film Festival on line and you can check out the video here. I have recently discovered that the review has disappeared and I am working on that. I apologize for this and will post when that is fixed.

I showed the film here for a group of people and they really liked it. One young man even told his dad when they were going home that he would like to be a waiter someday! I didn't ever really expect that response but was very happy to get it. Another guy came up to me the next day saying how much he enjoyed the movie and that he thought the actors did a great job. Always like hearing that!

I did a video for a group event here as a trade out for being able to live in a tee pee for a couple of weeks and showering outside. I loved it and recommend the outdoor life. Just watch out for the sand flies here! They are absolutely incredibly vicious and I have the scars to prove it on my hands and feet. Well nothing like a good scratching session.

It's getting late and I must go. I will let you know when the FH2A site is up and working with my special page. Hope you are having a wonderful day!
