The Two-week Turnaround Tour has come to an end. We had an amazing journey and can't thank you all enough for your support and encouragement. This project would have been nothing without the help of our incredible Filmblazer community. This may be the end of our trip but it is only the beginning of the wonderful friendships and collaborations that were made possible by T3.

So what next? Well, we're working on getting all the movies finished and posted. That's definitely goal number one. We're going to start with the earliest and work up to the end. So Shreveport team, there is still hope for you yet. After that we're not sure exactly but we have tons of unseen footage and behind-the-scenes stuff that we'll have to think of a creative way to put together.

In Cincinnati, we got off to a slow start, mostly because we were staying with family in a nice, comfy house with a big TV and DVR. It's a little hard to get motivated when you need to catch up on your Project Runway. We did eventually get together a list of resources that we could work from. We had Italian actress and sculptor, Stefania Marcone, cartoonist and actor Craig Boldman, a working sculpture of a mom and baby, and an art studio with about 4 hours of availability.

We're about 6 months in now and I've discovered that Josh tends to say a lot of things before really mulling them over in his head. I can just hear the gasps now… Josh talking without thinking! I know it's shocking. Sometimes it gets him in trouble but every once in a while something pure gold rolls off his uncensored tongue. Here are 14 of my favorite Joshisms and a few other quotes from various sources collected over the trip.

1. "You know what would be really funny? Siamese giraffes attached at the head"

2. "girls don't fart... until you live in an RV with them"

3. "if I put it on my lips it will end up in my nose"

4. Me "That would have been funny if I didn't screw up the delivery"
Josh " Don't do that when you have a kid"

5. "Did you write those coffee shops down? One was called Willy Wags and the other was Star Jones something"

While we were in Chicago we saw that Chicago Filmmakers, an organization for independent filmmakers in Chicago, was holding an open screening. Anyone could bring a short film under 20 minutes and it would be screened in front of an audience just like an open mic night for musicians.

This was a very interesting concept and we jumped at the chance to attend. We chose to show "Bad Day at Zia Rock" from T3 Albuquerque because we thought it would stand out the most. We figured most other films would be shot in Chicago rather than the desert. I'm actually surprised that more events like this are not offered. One of the biggest challenges for independent filmmakers is to get an audience for their films.

Here we go here we go here we go again.

Here we have our third short podcast.  30 quick minutes covering all things Bozeman.  The coffee shop that blew Josh's mind, the secret breakfast, peeing on each other, the zombie (zarbie) walk, Jamie gets drunk (accidentally) on rose petals and loves on a kitty, and Josh's portable first aid kit.  All this and more brought to you by Kessler Crane.

So Boulder made us angry and beat up on us pretty good. The wounds are still a little too fresh to talk about so instead I'm gonna talk about our trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park. We wrapped "filming" (I put it quotes because I'm not sure it actually counts) and decided instead of editing this epic failure of a movie, we'd go to RMNP (all the cool people abbreviate it).

One of the first things we did in Boulder was go to the Boulder County Senior Rodeo. Yes senior rodeo, meaning all the contestants (is that what you call people in a rodeo?) were over the age of 40. We went with Tom Judd and the German couch surfer, Isabel, that was staying with him for a few days.
