Very funny day.. We left LA this morning on a 6:50 flight and already I was starting to get a ton of email. facebook, blog  and twitter feedback about the show. The shows casting producer.. and our spiritual guru and cast shrink Kristi has warned us all about getting too wrapped up in reading blogs and reviews about the show.  She says its not healthy.. you’ll always find folks who don’t liek what you did. I’m trying to keep to that.. but damn it’s hard. It’s so interesting reading stuff that’s out there.. Last night I was watching the Twitter feed for stuff about the show.. it was running almost 50:1 positive to negative.. but it was still hard ot read those negatives.. Same thing on Facebook. there are soem great comments on my Facebook and on the FB page for the show.

Some of the feedback and comments were pretty funny.. 

One reviewer called the show “preventative entertainment”..
Many on twitter called me ‘the naked dude”.   onr friend called me the naked Santa claus guy
One person mentioned that my shower scene was  far scarier than the shower scene in Psycho.
(everyone wants to talk about that last scene.. I’d be mortally embarrassed if I didn’t  think it was so funny !)

So far the reviews are pretty good.  some mixed but mostly very positive. I did see that we were the fifth biggest show on all cable last night with 1.2M households.. I guess that’s a good start.. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that folks will continue to like it..

I’m trying not to think of it right now.. I have so much on my plate it work and elsewhere that I can’t be obsessing about the show now.

So in that spirit.. I’m changing topic.. We had a productive burning man meeting tonight. Homer and dave have the bent pipe segments required to build the 20 foot diameter wheels for the Time Cycle.

Dave spent the evenign cutting out the spoke brackets out of 3/8″ steel using his magic water jet.. What an amazing tool. Here it is cuting a bracket.

Everyone was pitching in. Ben worked on the ski lift chairs and then did soem griniding on the brackets in prep for welding.

Seth. Diane and I held the pipes and brackets while Homer MIG welded them on. At this pace, we’re hoping to assemble the wheels this Saturday.. It should be fun !

Speaking of fun.. Sue P.. just sent us this picture pf Gabe with friends Dylan and Matt up in High Cascade in Oregon. Gabe’s been calling every day to tell us how it’s going.So far hes’ having a great time.. Man do I miss him !
