Why the hell not?

The problem is with success- Last season our production team, Bentley, Chia and myself brought in our show, 13 episodes in all, on time and under budget.

So you'd think that would be a good thing right? You'd be wrong: this season we have a third less everything: no Bentley, two shooting days per episode instead of three and 2/3 of our previou$ budget.

But we have a secret weapon: Spunk. No seriously, we're fucked; the previous model was basically untenable, and this season we have a raft of new byzantine procedures and legal voodoo ceremonies to muddy the waters.

So crank up the crazy and laisse les bontemps roulette 'cuz MPU Drama (as they call us now, in a tip 'o the hat to the outcasts in high school who were always smoking and laughing outside the stage door) is in the house. And the yard. And the alley, where, unfortunately we have no permission to shoot.

Permits? We don't need no stinkin' permits!

aaaaaaaNNNNDDDDD ACTION!!!!

rock on. this blog is totally awesome. it just goes to show that you only get punished for doing things well. people continually reward ineptitude and inadequacy. we will rise above this like the 300 men that took on an army of 10,000 angry guys. let's go down swinging. they may have the power to make me follow their ridiculous rules, but the will NEVER crush my soul!!!!

Just remember this handy phrase for the execs at SH if things get out of hand:

Sich zu entschuldigen ist einfach. Es ist hart, um um Erlaubnis zu bitten.

Trust me.
