Aloha from Maui to you all!
Thanks for all the positive comments (150+!) for the “Stick Man” video that Roy Plisko and I produced late last year in Phoenix. It made it to the top of the heap on Current.TV in both the US and the UK. We’re told that it will air nationwide, hopefully later this [...]

Wow- what a week this has been!
