Quote16. Never enter a "battle of the bands" contest. If you do you're already a loser.

Ouch! That hurts! "Battles of the Bands" ruled in the 80's!

That is how I got to have my only "studio" experience.

You can listen to the results here: Blast from the past

Damn funny list though. Now I'm going to go sit in my car and cry.

That movie was a documentary.

Parts of that movie were filmed in the Phoenix area, BTW. One of the production crew came to the print shop where I worked and ordered some odds and ends that appeared in the film--such as the Waterloop tickets and the big button Napoleon earns by eating a ice cream big sundae. I made those. Yes, I'm famous.

Can I have your autograph then Ted?

Anyone else done stuff for film/tv?

Earlier this year I had to make some bowls and bits and pieces for a film, the new Robin Hood with Russel Crowe. I didn't know what it was for when I gave them a price, thought it was just a little educational thing or something. When I found out what it was I said a few naughty words, could have quadrupled the price and they wouldn't have batted an eyelid!!! Oh well, next time maybe.
I had to deliver it to one of the sets, and there were a couple of trimmed logs about 6' long by about 18'square-------the set was in the middle of a bloody great forest!!!!! Surreal or what??
It's the same place the start of Gladiator was filmed.
