Greetings Good Works Fans! Wisedog here with a rare update. I know, we never talk any more. It’s awful.

I’m writing this from high above the snow-covered Sierra Nevada Mountains on my return trip home, after a great day of Good Works Stuff. I spent most of the day yesterday in transit to San Fran (10 1/2 hours on 3 planes. It was awesome, but I admit I missed the van.) But once I arrived in the beautiful City by the Bay, the shades went on and I cruised this hip town in style!

First, I got to go to a reception at the Cartoon Art Museum, where I showed our finished product of The Good Works Tour movie to the attendees of the 2009 National Conference on Volunteerism and Service, including our friends at VolunteerMatch.org. The Good Works Tour casually hung amongst the brilliant works of cartoon, animation, and comic book art displayed in the museum, as I chatted it up and exercised my networking muscles.

It might be a little hard to make out, but that's the Good Works Tour (right) hanging out with Mel Blanc (top left).

It was great to meet-up again with many of the friends GWT met at Volunteer Match when we passed through last summer. We’d like to thank Robert at VM a million times for inviting us to come to the reception, setting us up in San Franciscio, and for the great connections he helped us make.

I met a lot of fantastic and dedicated people last night, many of whom are doing fabulous things and really helping their communities, and the world through their work. It was an honor to be counted in their presence, and to have our project and our film noticed.

Personally, I was just super stoked to have OUR cartoon [spoiler!] hanging in the Cartoon Art Museum, right next to Mel Blanc, Daffy Duck, and four familiar hobbits for the evening. And it was totally awesome that The Good Works Tour was displayed in the same museum as this:

From the Warner Brothers Collection. HOT

The Cartoon Art Museum had a massive and very comprehensive exhibit on Watchmen, and I got to totally nerd out for a little while.

Afterward, I meandered around the corner to the very chic and sincerely cool 111 Minna Gallery where we presented a screening of the film alongside their usual Sketch Tuesdays. If you were there, you know how awesome a time it was! Otherwise, you totally missed out. Thanks to the great folks at 111 for being so accommodating.

True to Good Works form, I must also thank my friend Rachel for her hospitality for the evening. It helps to have good friends in far places.

All in all, I had a wonderful time, and it felt a wee bit like I was back on the road for one more day!

Thanks for reading, and please keep checking back, to find out when the Good works Tour is showing their film in YOUR area, and how you can soon acquire your very own DVD of our much-hyped motion picture!

Hey everyone,

Well, with the film done, we are sending it off to various places. First up, San Fran! If you happen to be going to the 2009 National Conference on Volunteering and Service, come check us out on June 23rd at 111 Mina Gallery at 9PM. Thanks to our friends at VolunteerMatch, if you are lucky enough to attend their dinner that evening, you will also be seeing the film.

Something to discuss, next week the GWT will be sending videos to everyone they worked with and copies to Oprah, Conan, The Today Show, MiND TV, MTV, the NJ Film Festival, and many other places. Where ELSE should we send copies?

Thanks,

James

Much love to everyone at TCNJ last night. We got a lot of great feed back and even had some very supportive audience members. A few reviews below:

“I never cry at movies. I did at that.” (apparently this is a good thing)

“Why were you shaking your butts so much?”

“You guys made me want to be a better person.”

“Umm… you said there’d be pizza here?”

More info on showings coming soon! Keep May 29th open….

Thanks,

James

So we’re showing off the GWT movie at TCNJ this evening, and I couldn’t be more excited!

I’m sure the movie will answer a lot of questions like:

What did it smell like in the van? (better than expected)

Is Zach that dashingly handsome all day long, or just in the evening? (its 24/7 baby)

Aaaand maybe a little something about the 40+ incredible places we worked!

So if you’re in the upper-Jersey area come on over to the showing tonight, but if you’re not DO NOT fret, GWT will most certainly have a big Collingswood release. With maybe a red carpet? Or at least a red tablecloth. OK it’s a maroon napkin, but a guy can dream, right?

Its going to be really helpful to us to see what people think tonight, so be honest, and tell us what you love and hate so we can keep making the movie better!

Can’t stop the rock,

Tim

Hey everyone,

We’re super excited to annouce the debut of our film The Good Works Tour this Monday April 27th at 9PM in The College of New Jersey Cromwell Main Lounge for FREE. If this is too short notice for you to come and see the film that night, fear not, we will be having more FREE showings of the film in Collingswood, NJ and elsewhere. If you’re an organization and you let us come work with you, look forward to copy of the DVD coming to you soon! Thanks to all those who rock! Comment away, the blog is back, baby!

Thanks,

James

James smiles big for the camera at Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic in Los Angeles.

While cleaning house, metaphorically speaking, I stumbled across some great shots on the MySpace page for Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic – Los Angeles, taken at their Hollywood studio when we visited them last summer.

Think of this as a prelude to the imminent debut of our film…

Imminent…

I know everyone is tired of these posts. We’re so close to being done the film. That’s all. Comment!
