Here is our new commercial on YouTube. It was a lot of fun to shoot - thanks to Ross Laguza and Robb Rouse of Big Lick Conspiracy, who conceived of and starred in the spot. Particularly Robb, who had to wear the devil suit for much of the shooting, which kept the employees of the City's fuel station entertained, as well as the prison work detail who were there that day. It was a lot of fun to shoot.
If you want to see more high comedy like this, go see the

I attended the
Statewide Rail Plan Public Information Meeting last night. Thanks to those of you who found it through Facebook and showed up to make a comment or simple show your support through your presence.
On the whole, the comments were positive. It would have been nice to see some younger people speak - there was a lot of nostalgia-driven support for passenger rail expressed, and while there's nothing wrong with that it would have been helpful to hear some folks discuss rail as a 21st century transportation option, rather than hearkening back to the rail of the 1970s. That said, I think that DRPT got the message and I hope they take our comments seriously.
