Twin Cities MS Mud Run
August 17, 2010
On Saturday, September 11th my team, SupercalifragilisticexpialSclerosis, and I will be participating in the Twin Cities MS Mud Run. We’ll be trudging through 6 miles of mud and obstacles in hopes to get closer to a cure for multiple sclerosis. Each member of my team has an individual fundraising goal (mine is $300) to help reach the event’s overall goal of $100,000.00. Consider a donation to end multiple sclerosis and support me during the MS Mud Run 2010!
MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn’t. Please help by making a donation — large or small — to move closer to a cure for MS. Seriously, no contribution is too small. Good old-fashioned encouragement is always welcome, too!
Whatever you can give will help. I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

48 Hour Film Project 2010
June 25, 2010
Originating in DC, the 48 Film Project was started back in 2001. Filmmaking teams throughout the Minneapolis area (and the world) spend a wild, sleepless weekend once a year to make a short film from start to finish in a mere 48 hours. Teams are given a character, a prop, a line of dialogue, and a genre on Friday night. Writers frantically scribble down their brilliance over copious amounts of coffee only to pass off their scripts to their team’s production crew (sometimes those same writers pulling double duty) first thing Saturday morning. Teams pull in their actors and film their masterpieces all day Saturday, leaving only Saturday night and Sunday day for editing. Completed films are due Sunday evening. What a whirlwind!
This year, I was lucky enough to be asked by Matthew Glover and Sam Landman of Pommelhorse Productions to be a part of their 48 Hour Film project. This year’s required elements were: Paul or Paula Williams Chef/Cook, a pliers, “What do you want to know?”, and our genre was comedy. Hope you enjoy our little ditty!
