May 13, 1994 was a Friday nite. I went to the movie theater by myself to see a flick I had been waiting for on opening nite.
I was there more for my brother who couldn't be there, but I know how badly he wanted to see the movie. I was a fan of the comic it was based on because he really wanted me to read it, and I did but only after his death when I came across them.
The next morning, I took a break at work from the coffee shop I worked at and walked over to Coconuts.
Remember Coconuts?
And I bought the soundtrack.
30 years ago. Thanks, Michael, for telling me to check this comic out, and for making me want to see the flick.
After using the old one in "Bernice, Too" we decided to make "Holy Toledo" into a series. But the old puppets of Brett (with two t's) and his brother Bobby were in rough shape. So new ones were made!
Join hosts Bobby and Brett Rocket and their sister Debbie as they bring you the craziest stunts ever captured on camera performed by the one and only world's most fantastic stuntman; Dave "Holy" Toledo!
Here in the first episode Dave attempts to catch a cannonball with his teeth!

Today was a day that I didn't expect to go so well. Today was a day I laughed so hard I started to wheeze, more than once. I even cried form laughing. Fuck, that feels so good.
Today would have been my brother's birthday. And every year I try to find a way to celebrate. And although I didn't bring it up with the Elmwood gang tonite as we had out weekly production meeting, they helped me celebrate by being my brothers and sisters. And making me laugh so fucking hard.
The past few years all my social media outlets, including this one, have turned to more Elmwood Productions focused. And that has been on purpose. Who cares about my personal stuff? Just share the films, the puppet, the creative suff... That madness that goes along with all of that. It's probably better that way, and more fun for me and whoever reads this stuff. Puppets are more fun than my bald head for sure...
As I was driving home from the studio, I had a CD in my car I haven't played in literal years. And the last song played as I hit my driveway. I sat and listened to it and a flood of memoirs came back to me.
I used to have a blog where I vented about life. And things were getting dark back then. And at one point someone commented on a post with a quote from the song that was playing.
"I have faith that there's a soul somewhere that's leading me around, I wonder if she knows which way is down."
And I found my way down. I even felt like I evaporated. And then there was rejuvenation.
As I lean into this time, where Elmwood is just going to take it all over on my socials as we release so much new and awesome stuff over the next year and more, I realize that I did go down. And sometimes down lower than I thought was survivable... And These people who made my face and chest hurt from laughing so much have pulled me back up. And I don't even know if they know it. So, thank you to ALL the Elmwood gang... And a few others who have made me smile so goddamn much. I can only hope I do the same for you.
I'm a fan. Of films, of music, of comics, of puppets, of arts... And of coffee...And more. Since everyone in the world seems to have a webcam and an opinion, I figured this would be easier than writing a giant post on social media...And remember - opinions are like assholes, they all stink.
Since the new "The Crow" movie trailer came out a ton of folks have been asking me how I feel about it since I am such a huge fan of the original book and also the 1994 film.My initial reaction was "Please stop it."...But I realized I am not the target audience for this new movie, and that is a strange feeling. But also, no one can take the old one away from me.
