SILLY EMAILS FLYING AROUND FATKAT

We have some amazing clients, we also have some amazing suppliers but both groups of people we like to grab onto and hold them, snuggle them gently as friends.

Dacapo Productions is a great example of a bunch of yahoos that we relate to on almost every level. Their silly, have a great sense of humour, take the time to make us a laugh and also never ever dissapoint us with their amazing audio work. This is why we use these guys almost exclusivley for every single project!

Below is an excerpt from an email reply sent from Nolan Balzer who handles alot of our audio engineering and voice recording sessions. He's the shit.

If you're in need of voice actors, sound fx, library or custom music. Call Dacapo!

It was another late night at the cartoon factories...the moon was crouched so low overhead that it felt like a monstrously malicious but delicious omlete du fromage about to flop down and begin its yolked apocolypse. "Damn the sneeze!", he said as he lit another pork sausage and took a deep, slow lungfull of its greasy goodness, "these are dangerous times to be animation and audio personnel." Resigned to his fate, he walked into the inky blackness, tapping a defiant ryhthm on the fishstick in his breast pocket.

We have the talent booked and are ready to rumble tomorrow morning. Do ya wanna listen in or do you trust a man who lives for the wordplay...? snicker...giggle....

Hey babies,

Wees got a new revised script upon us. In this version there are some saftey’s requested to be recorded tomorrow. It shan’t take too long, easy peasey lemon squeezy.

Take a peek, they’re clearly marked with version numbers.

As for script 04, I dunno guys, I didn’t get anything tonight, tomorrow at the earliest, but it could arrive too late. The big thing is not to stop recording of episode 03 I so desperately need that recording for that episode as I have to deliver the animatic to them on Monday (sans music).

Peace lovers.
Gene.

GONE KAMPING - PT.2

Close to the Kouchibouguac National Park is the town of St.Louis. Just along the main waterway which name escapes me is a catholic shrine that's been there for almost 250 years! Surrounded by beautiful cedar trees and a fountain fostered by a natrual spring, it's a good walkabout.




Now that has to be one of the oldest cedar trees in NB!

GONE KAMPING - PT.1

If any of you buggers have the need for a really neato kampin experience; you need to get your asses to Kouchibouguac National Park

This place is so kick ass and so close to Miramichi - Only a 40 minute drive-0! At Kooch'you can rent kayaks, canoes, bikes and there's tons of camp sites (312!). If you have your own bike or boat, all the better; there's tons of water and miles and miles of bike/walking trails.

The nature of it all is pretty cool too, it's actually the main reason I like to hit it up. This weekend I was lucky enough to watch a pair of Osprey's do some fishing at the saltwater marsh. They seemed to be hundred's of feet up when they dove like an arrow right into the water, bringing up big ol'fishies.

Enough chat, check out the pics!


One of the Osprey doing some fishin


Me doin some munchin


great trails all through the park, miles and miles worth!


Cat-tails (AKA - Hamster's on sticks)


Wildlife!


Mushrooms on trees! YUM!


On of the many gannats getting up close and personal, like the osprey they too were diving into the water for fish; very cool to watch!


The woods are as thick as the flys.


The look out tower at the bog.

FATKATS HIT THE SAND

This weekend some kats got to blow off some steam and headed off to Escuminac beach in Baie St.Anne. The beach has is locally known for the tragic event that happened there almost 50 years ago.

But enough of that. Check out the fun!



Crazy driving!


Daniel enjoying some Corona goodness.


Robert sucking up the Canadian Experience.

FATKAT FIRST ARNIE-THON

It wasn't my idea, hell I didn't even go, man, I don't even know if it happened last night or not. But it did sound like fun and next time we do it we'll take pictures of the event.

The whole idea behind the Arnie-thon from what I know is to get shitfaced. The method? - by watching Arnold Schwarzenagger movies for the entire night; taking shots of booze everytime Arnie says a cheezey one liner or the word "bullets".

To help commemorate this holiest of events I bring you a link to an Arnie sound board and some lovley pictures of our hero.

MICKY TALKY TALK

So the other night as I dropped my wife off at the Irish Festival I decided, "Hey why does she get to have a few beers and not me?" Not being a fan of Irish music, I opted to go to the studio instead with a few cans of DAB.

While at the studio I hooked up with some regulars who like to tilt a few into their yammering skull caves. Andy was there with Sam, Spence, Leon, Nevey, Patrick and Robert.

Robert happened to have a bottle of Jägermeister a foul smelling herbal liqour that I thought I detested but quickly fell in love with. After a few shots we decided to call our good pal Mick a "straykat" who is now living in Bolton, England.

We must have spoken to Mick for a couple of hours, (nikki is going to murder me) it should be a hefty phone bill, but you just gotta talk to that fuckwit every so often to let him remind you how silly you gotta be in life.

Some photos from Mick. He sends love and feces to all.


A nice shot of Mick under his bed.
A great shot of Yessir Arafat youngest grandson.And his unfinished bathroom. Is that a bottle of booze behind the shitter? good on ya.
