5/21/05 - Production Commences in Dekalb, IL

The production of Gag Reflex Comedy Theater of the Air started properly with a location shoot at my home in Dekalb, IL. Only one planned scene was not shot because of cast unavailability. I have to say, I'm stoked. It's tiring to say the least, but exciting.

The day began at 10am when my son Danny and I began plundering his toys for pieces to add to "Eggtown" which will play a role in one of the episodes. Two hours later Eggtown was sitting on my picnic table and shooting had started. Nathan is a really good director and I'm really looking foward to working more with him. Some pictures from the shoot appear below.

Oh! And special thanks to Charlie who grabbed his role by the balls and started to disrobe, in clown make-up, while stomping down the street.
