Wow. That was really wrong. She WAS a pig that day. I just lost a tooth yesterday afternoon. It had to be pulled out. It’s not a good tooth to lose because it’s a first molar (provides the vertical stop). My dentist is a cool guy though. He’s a bit on the eccentric side, but he’s great at what he does. He gives me all the Novocain I need and never tells me, “…it’s pressure, not pain”. I probably would have fainted if a teacher did that to me.
I should have said that the spaceship set is an interior one. My friend’s parents were kind enough to let us have their basement (3/4 of it). We’ve got an engine room, a transporter, a command center, turbo elevators and a forward viewer…complete with a starfield. It looks like the inside of a spaceship. On film, it looks amazing. So, we are definitely proud of our set. For EXT. SPACE scenes, we use a model. Alx made it out of a digital alarm clock and other household items. All painted up, you’d never know. We made a lot of our own props.
Unfortunately, we’ve had a few setbacks. I can’t play Agent Tallent because the girl who was supposed to play Nate, pulled several “no shows”. Since Tallent doesn’t appear until later, I have to play Nate. So, I have to exercise. I despise exercising. And the thing is, I’m in pretty good shape…just not “Nate shape”. Then I have to Tallent search (ha! couldn’t help it). There’s quite a bit of stupid shit popping up. I won’t get into it. I will say that we are not freaking out about stuff like we used to, so that’s good. And, for something that is low (super-low) budget, Wayfarer 1 is looking great. We are very excited and extremely pleased.
I will definitely let you know when the website is up and running (shooting for Nov). Even better, I could send you a cd. Could I do that??? Perhaps through some c/o address or other? In fact, if anyone here would like a FREE cd, just email me with the information and I’ll send it out. Uh… I’d be a little sketched about giving my address to a stranger, so I’ll understand if no one wants a disc. But, there are always p.o. boxes and c/o’s and fake names, etc., etc. So really, feel free. Keep in mind though, that it will be several months before any of this happens.
Arrivederla!

That’s nice of you! I will definitely take a CD when they’re available (I will send you contact information privately). I hope some other people will take you up on it; it’s good to Share Art.
I think it’s fantastic you built a spaceship in the basement. I regard it the way I regard being an astronaut or a spy or a sixth dan black belt in aikido – something cool for which I have neither the talent nor the predisposition. A real wow, people are amazing moment. You go.
I want a CD, too!
