The Red House Mystery


Here's the info about the show I've been working on with Floyd, Micah & Joe. I hope you can make it out to see it, it's gonna be a great show!

--------------

Southwest Theatre & Arts Resources (S.T.A.R.) Presents

The Red House Mystery

By A. A. Milne
Adapted By Ruth Sergel

Directed By Floyd A. May

This murder mystery drama is set in 1938 at a dinner party in a fine home in upstate New York. To the police, the murder is obviously a case of sibling rivalry, but a guest is suspicious of this slick solution. There are others in addition to the brother who held grudges against the murdered man. The large cast of intriguing characters/suspects will keep audiences guessing.

Star Wars & The US Postal Service


Here's a the R2-D2 Mailbox on Michigan & Washington in the Chicago Loop!

Read below and check out USPSJediMaster.com on Friday!

Ok, so, do you think some crazy Star Wars fans out there will try to steal a mailbox or two? It's only prison ;-)

------------------------------------------------------

The USPS will be announcing official U.S. postage paying tribute to the 30th anniversary of Star Wars later this month.

March 16th: R2-D2 Mailboxes will make news in many major cities across the U.S.
March 28th: Star Wars stamp designs will be unveiled in Los Angeles.
May 25th: Stamps will go on sale after the first day of issue ceremony.

More Info about the R2-D2 Mailboxes...

How many will there be?
There are 80-something postal districts around the country, most of which are getting four of the R2-D2 boxes each, so figure 320 or so of these will be spread out across the nation.

Where will they be located?
People won't be seeing R2-D2 on every corner. They will be placed in high-traffic, highly visible locations. There is not any information yet on exactly where they will all be located, but they will be out in public and not just inside Post Office lobbies.

What additional security measures if any are being taken to prevent theft?
I can't tell you about the security measures, but hopefully fans will remember that these are real mail boxes, with real mail inside, and will face a serious federal offense if they try to steal one.

When will they be placed in public?
The rollout for the R2-D2 mailboxes is this Friday, March 16th, with an official announcement coming on Monday, March 19th.

A Great Cover of a Cool Song!

When I Come Around
Written by Green Day
Performed by Honeywagon



Well, I heard you crying loud,
all the way across town.
You've been searching for that someone,
and it's me out on the prowl,
as you sit around feeling sorry for yourself.

Don't get lonely now,
and dry your whining eyes.
I'm just roaming for the moment,
sleazin' my back yard, so don't get so uptight,
you've been thinkin' about ditchin' me.

No time to search the world around,
'cause you know where I'll be found,
when I come around,
when I come around.

I heard it all before,
so, don't knock down my door.
I'm a loser and a user, so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know you're right.

So, go do what you like.
Make sure you do it wise.
You may find out that your selfdoubt
means nothing was ever there.
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right.

No time to search the world around,
'cause you know where I'll be found,
when I come around,
when I come around.

No time to search the world around,
'cause you know where I'll be found,
when I come around,
when I come around,
when I come around,
when I come around.
