Old Lyrics - Sprinkles

Sprinkles

How specific can I be
Adopted at the age of 33
33, the year I was supposed to die
My body's dust sprinkled in your eyes

A friend wants to inhale my soul
She's still waiting
For me to die

Girl I know should live alone
But on my couch is what she calls home
Pony tail? Make up your mind
My body's dust sprinkled in your eyes

Another girl wants to get to know
She's waiting
To show her soul

Bobby asks "Did you break a piece off?"
I laugh and say "I did my best."
Funny how I'll never know

Don't make me sleep on my porch again
Let me light your cigarette.

Monday Song - Non Dairy Creamer - Third Eye Blind

Yeah, this song's corny as Hell... But I still like it!

Josh And Todd Teaser Trailer

Old Lyrics - You're The One

YOU’RE THE ONE
(WHO KICKS MUD IN MY EYE)

Sometimes we’re naked,
Sometimes we’re loading our guns.
Sometimes we’re with other people,
They are the lucky ones.

Sometimes I love you.
Sometimes I ask myself why.
Sometimes I want to hit you.
Most of the time I want to cry.
Because you’re the one who kicks mud in my eye.

Parading around in your underwear
Looking so good, so cool.
Telling me I’m not good enough to fuck you.
But you live at my house, and eat from my fridge.
You take my money and spend it.

And then you’ll ask me to lay you.
And of course I oblige,
Then kick you out of the bed.
Because you’re the one who kicks mud in my eye.

Monday Song - Erotic City - George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic

Whew...

What a week... We opened our Exhibition on Saturday nite, and screened, for the first time - "The Complete Steve The Vampire" - and it was HUGE

HUGE

We had approximately 200 people in Paris In Plantsville...
And everyone laughed and had a great time... I finally got some real sleep in last nite, and I'm sitting here at Paris In Plantsville now just kinda taking it all back in again...
Amazing
I was (and still am) overwhelmed and humbled...
If you're reading this and you were there; I thank you.
If you're reading this and missed it, well... The exhibit's up through 3/31, and we'll screening "Josh and Todd" on 3/31 to close the event! So you better get there between now and then! Hahaha!!!

Steve The Vampire Episode Two

Old Lyrics - Demented Forgetful Confused

Demented Forgetful Confused

The sky wide opened
Just like your legs
It poured and poured
And washed my soul
And ran away again

You always leave me
Demented, forgetful, confused
It's enough to surround myself with you
Demented, forgetful, confused
I center myself by nites with you

So fucked up,
A weekday, "school nite"; she said
Should I look for that again
It's the trouble
The trouble

So leave me
Demented, forgetful, confused
Then come, surround myself with you
Demented, forgetful, confused
It's enough to spend my life with you

So fucked up
For you.

Old Lyrics - Sticker Price

Sticker Price

What was the sticker price?
I don't know, I peeled it off
It really doesn't matter
I got it cheap.

It's kinda outta control
And I'm enjoying it
Way too much

How come this is getting easier?
Shouldn't it get harder
On me?
So easy to fall up the stairs again.

And right on my face again.

Monday Song - Seasons Of Wither - Aerosmith

Come See Steve! In Person!!!

Yup! We have been doing this for ten years!
Thanks for all your support over the years!
To celebrate we will be screening for the first time ever "The Complete Steve The Vampire" on March 3, 2012 at Paris In Plantsville Gallery and Studio!

That same day Paris In Plantsville will open a new exhibition to celebrate the Ten Years of Elmwood Productions! The gallery will be filled with puppets from our films, behind the scenes photography, character designs, and more.

"The Complete Steve The Vampire" follows the adventures of Steve who was turned into a vampire as a teenager and although now in his mid-twenties, he just can't catch a break trying to prove himself in the vampire community. Between his overbearing and in denial mother, his indifferent girlfriend, and his unlikely friendship with Dracula, he still manages to keep his head on straight and do his best to avoid being staked by the local vampire slayer.
And all he wants to do is hang out, watch some Star Trek, and enjoy a good glass a blood...

The screening is also part of Paris In Plantsville's monthly film series showcasing independent films made in and connected to the local film community.

And on March 31st we will also be screening our feature film "Josh and Todd: The Story of a Man and is Puppet" to close out the exhibition.

For both screening the doors open at 7:00 PM, and the films start at 8:00PM.
As with all our screenings it is a free event, but donations to the gallery are appreciated. The donations keep events like this happening!

We'd like to thank our friends at The Official Beer of Elmwood Productions - Pabst Blue Ribbon - for all their support!

"Steve the Vampire" is rated PG
"Josh and Todd: The Story of a Man and His Puppet" is rated R

Done...

So last Wednesday we shot the last bits for the "Steve the Vampire" series... The picture above is from that night (thanks Mike!) and we laughed like Hell...

It felt good. No, it felt great. Beautiful in fact. I love the crew we have.

And last nite Jim, Steph, and I went to Russ' to do the last bits of voice-over dubbing. We had some things to fix and so on... And we finished that. I got home around 4 AM and was jazzed, but still did pass out within an hour. So now it's noon the next day and I'm thinking about the past six years of Steve the Vampire... The past six years of my life...

And this is the happiest I have been in YEARS...
I love my life. I love what I do. I love the Elmwood Crew. I love everyone!!!! Hahahaha!!!

Anyway, you better come 3/3 to see the show. Or I might cry.

And PBR will be there, so free beer!!!!!

Old Lyrics - What Went Wrong?

WHAT WENT WRONG?

HERE I AM,
AND AS FAR AS I CAN SEE
THINGS AIN’T RIGHT
BETWEEN YOU AND ME
IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU’VE SAID YOU LOVE ME.
THE LIES GO ON
WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS DECEIVE ME?
WHAT WENT WRONG
WITH US SUGAR?
AND WHY’D YOU MAKE ME TAKE THE BUS?

SO COME TELL ME BABY,
PLEASE TELL ME BABY,
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT WENT WRONG?
WAS IT ALL MY FUSSIN’,
OR MY SLAP-HAPPY CUSSIN’?
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WENT WRONG.

TAKE A STEP FOR EVERYTHING
THAT YOU’VE DONE CRAZY.
DREAM A DREAM,
IF IT IS GOOD, NAKED WE’LL BE!
TIME. WHAT TIME?
IF WE MAKE LOVE WE LOSE ALL TIME.
YOU SAY I’M CRAZY BUT I DON’T MIND.
AS LONG AS WE’RE HAPPY IT’LL BE ALRIGHT
ALRIGHT!

SO COME TELL ME BABY,
PLEASE TELL ME BABY,
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT WENT WRONG?
WAS IT ALL YOU EXPECTED
FROM THE THINGS THAT YOU WANTED?
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WENT WRONG?

I CAN’T DO IT NO MORE!
I CAN’T TAKE IT NO MORE!
I CAN’T DIG IT NO MORE!

IT’S DRIVING ME CRAZY!

I GOT A TWO BIT SUCKA-BITCH,
APPLE JACK RAM-O-BIT,
AND I LOVE YOU LIKE A CHAKA-MU-BERRY!

AND I LOVE YOU LIKE A CHAKA-MU-BERRY!
I SAID I LOVE YOU! (LOVE YOU!)
I SAID I LOVE YOU LIKE A
CHAKA-MU-BERRY!

Old Lyrics - Excuses

Excuses

When Steve McQueen
Grew his beard
And went to Mexico
To cure his disease

I was looking for an excuse
To behave the way I do

When James Dean
Rolled his car
Just a little too far

I was looking for an excuse
To behave the way I do

When Brandon Lee
Bled out in North Carolina
He was about to be a married man

And I was looking for an excuse
To behave the way I do

When Jon Bristol
Was found dead on the floor

I was looking for an excuse
To behave the way I do

Monday Song - Shackler's Revenge - Guns N' Roses

Happy Birthday Axl!

Puppet Making With Scott

Scott's my leather vested homeboy who lives downstairs... He's 12 and one day late last year said "Jon can I make a puppet?"
And I replied "I don't know, can you?"
He didn't find that funny.... Anyway he came up to the studio and I walked him through making a puppet.... It's a self portrait. He did a great job for his first one!

Old Lyrics - The Brick

The Brick

Are you gonna be bad?
Are you gonna be bad?
Break me, I'm sad
break me, I'm sad
Make you wanna hurt me
Convert me,
Convert me,

I am the brick
Thrown threw your window
I am the brick
That you wanna throw

I'm gonna make you sad
I'm gonna make you sad
Touch me, I'm bad
Touche me, I'm bad
Make you wanna hurt me
Ignore me
Ignore me

I am the brick
You threw through the window
I am the brick
You need to throw.

I do believe
You wanna destroy me
Torture me
A fist to my teeth
