About me:
Hey, am I the oldest person on myspace? Enquiring minds want to know. Since just about everyone I know is on myspace, I might as well be here too. It is also a great place to upload Bako theater clips.
Anyway, I'm 55, I'm self-employed, and I'm in the process of moving back to Bakersfield from Stockton where I spent most of my time during the last couple of years taking care of family matters.
In the past few years, I became involved in community theater in Bakersfield - mostly backstage work. It all started back in 2002 when I walked into the Spotlight for a cup of coffee and walked out as the stage manager for "Little Shop of Horrors"! It was fun, but now the talented kids I knew and worked with are moving on. I'll miss the good times that we had at Stars School.
Hey Peter! Just wanted to say thanks for everything! I had a good time getting to see everyone. Can you send me the pictures you took? If you need my email address let me know. :-D
