Victory is mine
Went to Karaoke at the double tree had a great time. Not because of the music. But because I got to fart on Brian Brown 3 times. The music was so loud he never knew. Niiiiiice.
Credit card debt
It took me awile to figure out how but I've managed to pay off 5 credit cards. Try this system and tell me if it works for you.
1) Make sure you can afford all your minimum monthly payments. If you can't look into bankruptcy. If you can go to the next step.
2) Don't take on any new debt. You won't get ahead if you keep making the debt pile bigger.
3) Pay your minimum on every card except the one with the lowest amount of debt. You then take every spare penny you have and put it towards that one card. Repeat this step every month until it's paid off. You might have to tighten your belt and eat ramen a few times a week but it's worth it.
4) You should now have more money to go to your next lowest amount.
I think you can see how it goes from there. Like I said I knocked out 5 credit cards doing this. I hope to have my credit cards all paid off by summer next year. Let me know if it works for you.
Is Repo worth the price?
Ooooooh yes. First of all the entire opera isn't on the CD. Second if you listen to opera or musicals you will hear a few familier things. For example the song Infected does sound a bit like something from Bare or RENT. But I have to say it's not only the most unique soundtack I've ever heard it's good. I mean really good. It is fresh new and it rocks so hard. I'm even more excited about the movie now that I've heard the music. I can't wait to see it. I've waited so long to see something truely new in musical theatre or opera and it looks like I might finally.
I've still got some copies if someone wants one. Get ahold of me.
Spider Baby update
I've entered it into a Fringe festival in Fresno. Try saying that 5 times fast. Wish me luck.
Still trying to get the dialogue edited for the radio play. Much harder than it seems.

I have also done the same Anon,..it's s nice feeling to have low debt and not have to be so concerned.
Shame shame,..vices take presidence over saving money,..Bad Twinkie! ha ha
That method of paying off credit cards does work really well - I use it myself! (then run them back up taking off on another vacation) I manage to pay my debt almost completely down each year. I don't have very high limits, and I like it that way, all my payments even on the full amounts is doable on my income.
I've had to use a credit card just to get me by a month or two. Let's see, I have $2.00 in the bank, and NO GAS to get to work the rest of the week. DAMN.. I guess I shouldn't have spent $50 at Happy Hour last Wednesday, right? hee hee. Oh well, I'll just gas up with my credit card.
Although, I have to say that I've been doing the same thing as you and I am down to two cards. Not bad, considering at one point we had over 6. It's taken a few years due to our huge debt but so far so good!
Good luck on your project. I actually thought about you this weekend while watching the movie Saving Silverman. The main character had this Dracula Opera he was working on. I don't know why, it just made me think of you because of your projects and your promotion of Repo
DONT USE CREDIT CARDS. unless you have the money to pay it off and the end of the month. and if you cant afford it with cash, you dont need it. thats my policy. =D
