Went to a Harvey Birdman party tonight,held at one of the creator of the show(Michael Ouwleen)'s home in downtown Atlanta.What an evening, OMG.We had been there before, but this time, we got presents.Important people got recognized,but it still felt great to be there, no matter how small your part was.You still felt like part of the team.Our host was gracious,everyone was in an upbeat mood.
I now have Stephen Colbert's autograph.(no, he wasn't there,crap.)
I also finally met Jake, the other prop designer on the show and he complimented me on some "really funny stuff" I've drawn.He had come down from Toronto.I ended up really liking him, although I've had to fight and whine to get equal prop sharings with him!
Madog and I had a race to see who could toddle up some steps faster.He won.We both have such bad knees that this is rather common with us,sadly.
Everyone was signing posters.We had so many pens and sharpies and posters going around it got a little confusing.
The food was very different.Seemingly expensive catered Chinese(?) food.A lot of it was tasty, but there wasn't much variety.Well..that's what I get for getting there late.All gone.I ate basically a lot of shrimp.But wow, good shrimp.Very light,nothing felt heavy.
We watched our latest episode on a giant movie screen by the pool.The weather was perfect.Not too hot, not too cold.
We ate a HUGE cake that read "Ha-HA! Polyunsaturated Fats!" on it in frosting.
Pictured above is Erik Richter and Michael Ouwleen, creators of the show.Funny thing is,how old that pic is--Erik has short hair now and Michael has very long hair.
God bless you guys,for creating this show, creating jobs for us, and showing us the wonderful and good side of TV production.
The present we received at the party, a copy of the script,signed by almost all the voice actors!
