HIATUS......AUSSIE LAND!!

We have started our mid-summer hiatus.....we are off until July 31....whoa...big break! I just walked in from sitting on a patio in Yaletown, hy hood....with Ivon...beautiful day out there....Vancouver in the summer rocks!! It's Saturday...on Tuesday I head off for Sydney, Australia for the BOBW con....Dan Payne will be on the same flight as me, we will hook up with Jason Momoa once we get there. Good times. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and seeing a new country. It seems that the DVD collection for the second season has been released in Europe....thank you for your kind comments regarding the stunt section of the special features. To answer on of the questions that came up after fans watching the piece, no, the blue or black pads used for rehearsal are NOT generally still there once the camera rolls and we start shooting. My stunt guys are hitting the real ground.....dirt, grass, cement, wood,.....whatever!! They are the real thing and it looks the way it looks, painful, because it is. Thanx to Ivon for putting together such a great behind the scenes look at the action on the show. He did a fantastic job. This is the first bit of typing that I have done with this new, wireless keyboard....what have I been thinking!! Wireless all the way baby!! One of our regular stunt Wraiths, Brad Loree, had his 46th Birthday party last night.....Happy Birthday Brad! You can also see Brad on Smallville as he is Tom Welling's stunt double as well. It was interesting to see the Eragon people show up in Vancouver for some final shooting of the movie.....I believe it will be showing in theatres in December so don't miss that one!! On our way to Aus we have a stop over for a bit in the Honolulu(sp.) airport, before continuing on to Sydney. Love it!! During the first couple of days of our hiatus, I have had the honour of training with a new actress, for a new project, in order to transform her into the warrior that she has to become. I can't say anything else about it but I will let you know more as time progresses. All I can say here is that you will love it!! Anyway.....just stopped in to give you all a quick update before taking off out of the country. I hope everyone is enjoying the DVD collection from season 2 of Atlantis and season 9 of SG1. Seasons 3 and 10 go on air in a couple of weeks and.....well.........say no more......yikes!! Hold on to your hats!! To all the stunt guys that made it to Kelowna this weekend on their bikes.....you suck!! My insurance just ran out!! But...a new shipment of zuccini flowers just came in at my favorite Italian restaurant so.....that's where I will be tonight!! Ciao!
