NEWS
* Just got an email from a high school friend who works at Kaos Entertainment (LA) www.kaosent.com they produce reality TV shows for Discovery, etc and she wanted to hear any pitches from me – would we want to work on Sneed’s idea for bike messangers and send it her way? (more info on that project at the bottom of this post) Let me know -(nstarr6@yahoo.com).
