Stan Swofford : On-Set Medic

August 28, 2005April 2, 2017 - by Drewprops - 2 Comments.

Stan has modified his EZ-GO ST480 cart well beyond the stock model he first started with back in 2001. From giant gnarly tires to hardened, coated protective grillwork around the emergency flashers, this ride is built for action. Most work carts have simple controls; a keyed ignition, a forward/reverse lever, a brake pedal and a gas pedal. Stan’s cart, on the other hand, is festooned with instrumentation… the kind of work cart that an F-16 pilot might use.

I was especially intrigued by the illustrative nature of painter John Tindel’s pieces, from the subject matter to his linework and his color palette. I have to say that I wouldn’t mind seeing a Tindel hanging on my wall some day in the future, although I do have some issues with the execution of his seal coat on a couple of pieces I liked. Criticism or haggle point? You decide.

Heinous Bienfang

August 21, 2005April 2, 2017 - by Drewprops - Leave a Comment

At one memorable concert, Heinous actually passed out drunk onstage during the band’s finale. Fittingly(?) one of his band-mates produced a large fish (possibly a mackeral) from a cooler, and tossed it to the frenzied crowd. Within moments Heinous fans had torn the fish to bits and a fish fight of the most terrible sort ensued. Dottie’s never smelled good after that.

Come to think of it, it never smelled good in there before that.

Heinous Bienfang, Saturday, August 27th at Black Box Rehearsal Space concert.

I’m talking classic sitcom, buying-time-until-my-buddies-finish-stealing-the-keg conversation. I don’t remember what he said when he first spoke to me, but I immediately noticed how he grabbed onto the last few words in my last sentence and used that to build his next sentence.

Actually…

“Actually” is an often-used but rarely perceived tool of social navigation and YOU will be a better, smarter person for being prepared to use and to respond to this word in all sorts of social circumstances, from meeting girls at restaurants to splitting waffles with winos at the Waffle House.

Are You Guys For Real??

They were all very serious looking and the man who had addressed me skillfully flashed his badge at me so quickly that anyone walking by us would have missed it completely. He then said something about the fact that they’d been observing me and wanted to know my business in Los Angeles.

We opted for a preposterously cramped sidewalk table next to a table full of girls who completely acted like they didn’t recognize me…. but that was okay because Joe settled into an impromptu surveillance of the building across the street: The Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre

Fairytale Endings

August 10, 2005December 8, 2009 - by Drewprops - Leave a Comment

It was with pride and affection that Evan and Yee-Wah’s families watched them unite. Later the toasts and dancings and 80’s musics and ceremonial eatings-of-the-chickens ensured that the couple were well and truly wed. Newport Beach dipped and twirled outside the second-story ballroom of the wedding boat, a boat dressed up like an 1800’s riverboat – which was a fitting place to reunite with some of Evan’s LA friends with whom I’d previously worked back in Atlanta on the Aaron Spelling series ‘Savannah’.
