Resounding
Well, Hell Week is now over and I can finally rest a little bit. For those of you unfamiliar with the term "Hell Week," it's used to describe the tech week before the opening of a play because it's Hell to work many long hours to get everything up to where it should be for opening night. Sometimes the experience isn't too bad, and sometimes Hell is a nice word to call it.
We opened The Knight of the Burning Pestle on Friday night and the audience was loving it. Sometimes it's hard to tell how a comedy will be received until you have an audience. The actors and director often think "Oh, this'd be hilarious!" and sometimes it actually is. But all three performances this weekend proved successful in every way. We proved that plot can be nearly irrelevant if only there are enough laughs involved (which are a lot).
And we have the most talented Shakespearean actors in the SF Bay Area all working on this show (not to mention ME). So how could it fail, right? One word: "Ishtar".
So it's back to work...I'm stationed over at Ogilvy for a few weeks working on a few Yahoo! campaigns. Also finishing up the new website for SHN and putting the polishing touches on Visa's new branding site. I'm getting precariously close to finishing a new '05 version of my portfolio (half way into '05).

probably the wrong place to ask this, but i'm too tired and it's late to try and find the proper email to contact you...
I came across this page on your site:
http://www.severdia.com/dvd_covers/
and i saw you had a page on the Steven Banks show. Do you have the "Home Entertainment Special" on DVD? I'm trying to track it down.
Thanks for any help!
