Back from Goodnights; June is short film month

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on June 4th, 2007

Always a good time in Raleigh. It’s one of the few clubs with a house emcee. In this case, it’s Ray Wagner. We entertained ourselves in the green room (which was, in another life, the building’s elevator shaft) by watching chunks of Wagner’s DVD. It’s a melange of short films, some live action, some animated, some performance.

Especially well done is his Orange County Moppers video. (Click to see it on YouTube.)

Speaking of well done, we once again enjoyed the fine cuisine from Richard, Goodnight’s chef. (We regret that we forgot to bid farewell, so focused were we on exiting and heading north.)

We plan to use June to shoot and edit one, maybe two, of our short film projects. We’ll be homebound for a good portion of the month, with only local or regional gigs that won’t take us away from SHECKYmag HQ for very long.

Of course, we’ll take breaks from our cineastic endeavors to blog on Last Comic Standing. As in seasons past, we’ll do it in near-real time, meaning that we’ll watch it, and post our impressions as soon as we stop spluttering and finish typing.

Stay tuned.
