Frankenstein!  Sold Out!

Listen to another radio station just this once.

It’s too late for you to see Plan B actors perform this radio show live, but you can listen to the radio show on the radio.  What a concept!  I saw the show last Saturday, but I’m really looking forward to hearing it on the radio tomorrow (Friday the 31st) on KUER.  Here’s a link to the Plan B Theatre site.  http://planbtheatre.org/

KUER (Radio West) will do the broadcast twice tomorrow….11am and 7pm.  They’re at 90.1 FM. Doug Fabrizio is Dr. Victor Frankenstein and he’s very good.  Tobin Atkinson is Frankenstein’s creation and he gives a terrifying and, at the same time, touching performance as the murderous monster. 
Check it out.

Thanks for listening,
Bill

Bill The D.J.

We should identify everyone by what job they hold.

That’s really who I am.  I’m Bill the D.J.  It’s my job, even thought I haven’t dee’d a jay in years.  I thought for years that I would be Bill the Actor but acting was tough and ego killing so I became Bill the D.J. instead.  I still enjoy being an actor occassionaly so that’s why I did the movie Delightful Water Universe, directed by Trent Harris (Trent the Director) and showing this saturday at the Rose Wagner Theatre.  Get your tickets by calling 355-ARTS.  With every ticket sold you’ll also receive a copy of the Harris classic Plan Ten From Outer Space
and a book by Trent called The Wild Goose Chronicles. 

My only regret about becoming Bill the D.J. is that I wasn’t born handsome.

Thanks for listening
Bill

But Bill, You Are Such A Liberal!

How can you have friends like that?

I went to my son’s school Halloween party last friday and ran into a couple of aquaintences I hadn’t seen for a long time.  One is a gun nut and one is a knife nut. I had no idea that these two men knew each other until friday but it figures that they would be friends.  They both like weapons a lot.  When I say “gun nut” and “knife nut” I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Tane (yep, that’s his name) I met years ago at the Deseret Gym. I don’t know Tane’s last name.  He’s about the nicest guy you could ever imagine.  I didn’t know how much he loved guns though until I ran into him on the street one time.  Tane loves motorcycles too and has a Harley.  When I saw him he was standing by his Harley with some other guys and their bikes.  Did I mention Tane has a hook hand?  I’m not making this up.  His hook hand is attached to his arm with a leather cuff kind of thing and on that leather cuff he had a derringer pistol.  It was then I learned that Tane loves guns and weapons. 

The other guy’s name is John Fitzen.  John loves Harleys and man does he love knives.  He has a knife sharpening business called The Razor’s Edge.  It’s on 368 West and 600 South.  If you want your knives to have the best edge ever visit John.  Maybe call ahead to make sure he’s there 801.918.3725.  But what John really likes to do is make custom knives.  He designs and makes some of the most amazing knives you’ve ever seen dba Skull Knives. 

So there I was;  Bill the big liberal, chatting it up with Tane and John.  Interesting guys; nice guys and friends with Bill the big radio liberal.

Thanks for listening,
Bill

Body Worlds and Dr. Gunther von Hagens

Dr. von Hagens is just a bit creepy.

Don’t get me wrong.  The Body World’s exhibit at the Leonardo in Library Square is something you all should see.  It was very moving to me.  Even though these are plastinated cadavers there still seemed to be some life trapped in them somewhere.  At any moment, one of the figures might move or speak I thought.

But Dr. von Hagens is a creepily menacing looking guy, don’t you think?  Doesn’t he look like someone you’d cast in a movie as the mad scientist who works in his lab with cadavers? And there has been controversy in his career.  There have been questions about how he has obtained certain corpses he’s used.  And it is alleged he once offered one of the world’s tallest me a one time payment and then a life long stipend if he could plastinate him after his death.  The 8 foot tall giant refused the offer.  There is some good info about the Dr. here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunther_von_Hagens

Oh, just a note if you do go to Body Worlds;  when it says, “Don’t lean on the glass cases.”  Don’t lean on them!  And when it says “Don’t touch the figures.”  Don’t do that either.  I can’t believe what asses some people are. 

I think you’ll really like the guy who’s balancing on some wooden balls and holding his own guts in his hand.  And can somebody tell me why the male figure skater is the only male figure not to have genitalia?  Just wondering.

Thanks for listening,
Bill

And another Delightful Water Universe plug

I’m on Utah Now tonight on Channel 7.  I think the airtime is 7pm.  Check local listings, as they say. It’s a show all about global warming, hence the fiery hot sun.  Here’s a link to previous TV postings.
