Rat Rod Rockers! Pre-Order Sales

Signing and shipping all the pre-orders for Rat Rod Rockers! today. After removing the shrink wrap- I signed and numbering each of the first few hundred DVDs. People seem to like the historical aspect of anything signed and numbered. I set aside disc #001 for my wife- since she has been instrumental in all my creative projects. She never complains about any of it and is always willing to help on the set or in the studio. I love her immensely. After I signed the discs, I put a postcard in each case and closed it up, then put in boxes or envelopes to be addressed and shipped. This took all day with nearly a hundred pre-orders! Extremely good for a small operation like myself, with a very limited advertising budget. At the Post Office- I hogged up the clerk for at least a half an hour. I could almost feel the a burning on the back of my skull from all the Post Office patrons glaring at my backside while they were stuck in the ever growing line behind me. Patience is a virtue people.

Between signing and mailing Rat Rod Rockers! DVDs, I began extensive updates and redesigns of the Go-Kustom website(s). Man...the site is an outdated mess! I need to streamline the site and have a concise way to connect the multiple areas for easy navigation. This may take days...

Rat Rod Rockers! DVDs Are In!

Finally! Eleven cases of Rat Rod Rockers! DVDs were dropped off at the studio today by my friendly UPS driver. I was jumping all over the place like a little kid on Christmas Day! My second feature film...this is exciting. With my last film Hot Rod Girls Save The World I only did short runs through CreateSpace of DVD-Rs, never getting more than 200 discs at a time. By ordering 1,000 from a replication pressing plant, you save on price per DVD (like almost 1/4th the price per disc) but have to pony up more initial money.

Has Spring Srung?

Today felt a lot like the beginning of spring. Birds singing, plants popping out of the ground or budding, eyes itchy...well not so itchy yet. Trying this Flucticasone Propionate (say that ten times fast) the doc gave me. Suppose to harden the inside of your nostrils so the pollen won't penetrate and trigger the histamine or some such shite. It also gives you nosebleeds, headaches and Elephant Man style tumors on your forehead (just kidding...about the tumors). I tried acupuncture a few years ago and that lessened the symptoms, but at $40 a session- it's cheaper to get chemicals from the doc at the clinic. Man...gotta love how bad the American Medical Industrial Complex™ sucks! I'm moving to Europe (I wish).
