This is from Pat:

To put things in perspective, I produced the intro. I got it together, took three cars on a trip around the treasure valley and directed all of the shots. Josh edited it. I am grateful for him doing that in the crazy time we had leading up to the LIVE SHOW. I might have edited it differently, except that I hate editing. He makes different decisions than I would, and it’s telling that he used material that he shot more than from the other cameras. I might have made the “montage” tighter, but, to his credit, we wanted to make the idea of just how long it might take to “run” the entire Treasure Valley be expressed. Next time, I would use music in a more cohesive manner. But I hate editing, and so we went with his finished product. That’s a lesson I learned, and you have too.

I arrived back a the studio during the airing of the video. Josh was in full DIRECTOR mode. Or, Josh was in PRODUCER mode and had Randy Florer in the control room DIRECTING. So when I got back (if you don’t know, I am in charge of our Boise City Council production…I have to make our airing of their meeting go…). So when I got back, I just let it all flow. Josh and Randy had it, and for me to take reigns would have been dickish and unnecessary.
Any ideas I had about going on the show were for filler. Alex said what was needed. Bringing the Board on was political, and fluffy, but it was what it was.
I just watched the whole show for the first time tonight, and I was glad and happy for what we did. I know you know a bit about “public access television” and what drama that’s about. I think we did a decent show touting our services and mission. It is what it is, and what we have is a pretty cool thing. I think our show proved that.

I might just add that we only had about 2 weeks to prepare. And we avoided trying to be to “telethon” like. We’re saving that for later, for when we can devote more energy and focus to it. And maybe to note that James Coberly Smith’s guitar did have audio at the beginning, and then it vanished, in the mysterious way of public access has.

Hello friends,

It is my pleasure to tell you about a new publication that we’re pretty excited about: At Fault. This the newest venture of Loathe Publishing and it picks up right where LoatheCast ended … sort of. Like LoatheCast, each issue of At Fault is based around a theme and everybody is invited to participate.* But instead of music and spoken words, we’re working with images and the written word.

Another similarity to LoatheCast is that each issue is free to read online. However, if you want the full experience, a bound hard-copy can be sent to you for the amazingly low price of $2.

We’re still working on some details of the website, but you can go check it the first issue and let us know what you think of the newest Loathe endeavor. Remember, it’s At Fault and you can find it at www.atfault.info

Yours in Loathe,

JC/lmc

Hello folks!

I recently finished up a video for my soon to be available album “Half Way There”:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJz6Q5m-5u0

It’s a video for the first track called “Window On A Ride.”   The video uses only my original photography in a sort of animated photo-montage, and has a little bit to think about in it.

You can see the album cover art and hear the entire album “Half Way There” free here:

I hope I wasn’t too self-indulgent on this… and that it might please some other ears and eyes as well.

Thank you for your time,

—J.D.
