    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.
