SPIN
6 - PREPRODUCTION RAMPAGE!
Matt's
neweset movie, "Spin 6", is on a preproduction rampage!
Figuring it was time to maybe give some folks outside our
friendly circle a chance to show of their acting "skillz",
Matt "Mister Films" Ryan decided to hold auditions for
the parts. Now, while I don't really see the need for such things
in a movie that will only have six parts, I think its still a
good idea because we may be able to meet up with people who would
be interested in such an opportunity but simply didn't have
access to anything of the sort until now. To advertise the
auditions, Matt made some nice and dandy posters for us to use!
Check them out:

When you
think of, "places that don't have jack oportunities for
people with an interest in acting", one of the first places
that pops into your head winds up being the good 'ol University
of Texas at San Antonio. Other than a few clases offering
knowledge in communications, UTSA offers absolutely nothing for
aspiring thespians to partake in to flex their skills, save for
the only two clases in their Theatre Arts division- Acting 1 and
Acting II, and the two acting clubs.
So, I'd have guessed that UTSA would have welcomed my putting up
posters inviting fellow students to audition for a part in "Spin
6". But unfortunetly, while the classes, professors, and
students at UTSA are all extremely nice, the idiotic beuracracy
that runs the show over there is filled with some of the
stupidest policies I have ever heard of. The policies also have
morphing powers, and they change shape and form from time to time
depending on who you ask. I was first told that Matt's well done
flier looked too "business like". After I informed them
that Mister Films did not make anything over negative one hundred
dollars any given year, they told me that I could not put it up
as it was something occuring "off campus". The fact
that I am a student at UTSA holds no meaning. The fact that they
should be encouraging something like this in order to promote me
not hating them for denying their patrons an opportunity doesn't
ring a cord with them either. But hey, rules is rules, right?
What they say goes! They were even nice enough to try to sell me
to buy ad space in the crappy newspaper that they print out!
Then I saw
this on the wall:

Now, what
is this guy doing?! This definetly means a sale will inevitably
be made, will it not? Is UTSA monitoring this guy to make certain
that this exchange of money and book takes place on UTSA campus,
and if it doesn't will it issue a heavy fine?
I think the real answer is that this person (whose name I have
blurred out) submitted a poster which is of much higher quality
than Matt's. Hey, there's only so much bulletin board space for
the fifty five hundred different fraternities to put up gnarlish
looking crap, isn't there? So in an effort to adhere to UTSA's
screw ball logic, I have redesigned Matt's orginal poster.
Hopefully, after the beuracracy sees this, they will screach
something at me in the alien code they use to communicate. This
will be my signal that its hip with them, and I'll be able to
post it.

Note my use of high quality clip art, such as a trophy and a race
car. People will see the trophy and think, "Oh my God, I
could win that!". And race cars are always cool. With this
new poster, I'm sure our poster's will be accepted. See, the
system works! You just have to know how to negotiate with it.
