And in the beginning...

Holy Frijole! What am I getting myself into here? Oh well, onward...

Well, the writer's strike has affected some of the studios directly, some more than others'. Friends at Disney say it's hard to pass the lines even after you explain your an artist and on their side. Maybe we should have signs to help them distinguish between the "suits" and the "talent".

I was listening to KOST 103.5 FM the other day, and Mark and Kim who co-host the morning show were talking to John Mcginley who stars on Scrubs. He mentioned that the writer's were trying to negotiate a percentage of 1% of the total DVD sales, whereas the production vendors were getting close to 12%!

Um, my figures may not be accurate, but...WHAT!? Are you kidding me?! These are the guys that create the story for goodness sake!
