This
is the beginning. Maybe I should have started at the beginning but that
would be boring and I'm not boring. I meant it when I said I loved everyone
and that is probably still true to one degree or another. Yet things change
and the relationships I described had very little to do with the facts
of the matter.
On the Scott
Commentary
Well I have spent two
weeks with all of you and not once have I to myself, "I wonder what its
like to drive a van into an oncoming semi." Believe it or not that is a
good thing.
Let me just tell you
what I hope to accomplish with this here scandal sheet. I don't know. I
think it will develop its own life. We really don't need you standard newsletter,
because we will be spending a ridiculous amount of time together. Maybe
it will be an outlet for artistic or creative needs. Or maybe just a record
of what should be one of the most exciting times in our lives. Whatever
it becomes I promise you it won't be boring.
You can also expect
to my left wing finger prints all over this puppy, so if you fear socialist
tendencies in your reading material, you'll hate this. If you like grammar
and correct spelling, you'll hate this. If you love watersports and strap-ons,
this is the newsletter for you.
When I first found out
I was going on tour many fears and hopes ran through my head. Would the
other actors like me? What kind of tension would develop with 10 men and
3 women? What is the best way to smuggle a Cuban Cigar back from Canada?
And would my love of the Monkees make me a laughing stock?
I'm sure we will all
discover the answers to these and other questions as the weeks drag by,
I mean speed by.
Please never take anything
I say too seriously, because I really am quite of each of you already.
I hope you all have similar feelings for me and for one another. If not,
screw you.
A Guide to Scott's Relationships
with the Cast
Most of you are aware
that I have identified specific relationships that I will have with each
of the company members. These designations have nothing to do with reality.
They are selected to offer me a sense of altered reality which can I can
make future use of in screenplay form, in which I will have altered each
of you just enough that I won't have to pay you anything. Please feel free
to audition for your role.
If you would like to
change your relationship please feel free to make suggestions, but I reserve
final approval.
Bill
Gillett- will serve as my father figure on the road. He's also the
one who gives me sage Yoda like advice.
Bobbie
Carter- thinks I'm dumb. She's the smart one.
Chad
Davis - will be my dare devil hero. A wild man to whom no natural
laws seem to apply.
Colleen
Berry- will serve as the little voice at the back of my head telling
me when I have gone too far.
Devron
Young- my relationship with Devron is a mystery, which may never
be revealed.
Erik
Kasik- never thinks anything I say is funny.
Grady
Weatherford- I really want to be Grady's friend.
Jeff
"Buzz" Nauman- if I can't be Buzz's friend I really am a horrible
human being. Buzz is the nice one.
Jesse
Terrill- I'm constantly seeking his approval.
Jim
Page- is that guy with the fixation on dogs.
Jon
Cohn- My first friend. The one, who in those first nervous moments,
reached out to me and said "How the hell do I fill out this tax form?"
Rebekah
Parshall- I take everything she says the wrong way and turn it into
something naughty.
Kudos
This week Kudos go
to our very own Rebekah. In case you missed it please be sure to ask Rebekah
how her pretty kitty is doing?
Additional Kudos go
to our Company Manager, Bill Gillett. Bill has been doing a terrific job
keeping us all on-task and making sure we all know what is going on.
For the Future
My plan is to send this
newsletter off to my friends and family while we are on the road. I hope
to include an advice column and schedule of our upcoming shows. If you
would like to also send out issues, all you will have to do is assist with
copying costs and mail them out to the ones
You love or want to make jealous
with your exploits.
Also next issue I would
like to feature cast member profiles. I would like to have the questions
submitted by other company members, so everyone will be involved. Next
issue I was planning on going on the block first, so if you have any questions,
no matter how off beat. I will be willing to answer them. Make it original
and have fun.
Please, feel free to
contribute commentaries or stories of your own, that just means less work
for me.
Until next issue, I'm
giving you the eye.
