Thanks Guys!

This year, I had several amazing interns to assist me with the set-up and tear down of my shows. It made it much easier (and less painful) to perform!



Thanks Crystal! You rock!



Merci Stacey! It was a pleasure having you aboard!



Gracias Gabriel! You were a life-saver (and just as sweet!)

Also shout outs to Qarly and Jason (I didn't snag photos of those guys--it was early in the run, and my mind was focused on the shows! Still, they were awesome).

I can't imagine my summer without ya!

A pic of the set up from Redwood City! Always a great show!



Love the room set up! The Redwood City staff did an amazing job of getting the room ready for the show. It makes getting ready a snap!

Totoro Forest Project

The Totoro Forest Project is a fantastic fundraising Art Exhibition/Auction that is being organized for the Non-Profit "Totoro No Furusato National Fund", a fund established by Hayao Miyazaki. The Exhibition/Auction will feature over 200 original art pieces from artists in the fields of animation, comics, illustration, and fine art.

The Totoro Forest Fund was started in 1990 as a way to preserve the Sayama Forrest. This gorgeous area is just outside of Tokyo and is said to have been the inspiration for "My Neighbor Totoro". The Totoro Forest Project is a fundraiser to benefit the foundation.
