Gift for The Winter Wolf ...

Gift for the Winter Wolf

Photo-A-Day #02617

Tonight Allison and I prepared the gifts that the cast is giving to the people who worked on the Winter Wolf. the four adults on the cast are pitching in about $30 each for some gift cards but that didn't seem like enough. I remembered that I had collected some specialty Wolf themed ornaments well over 25 years ago. They haven't see the light of day in about that time. So I figured, why not make these gifts for the people who helped with the show. A fingle Wolf themed ornament on the tree isn't overkill. It is nice and a great remembrance of this show since the show takes place at Christmas. I even put a few of these ornaments on the tree that is on the set. I also put a few more of my wolf touches around the set and the theater.

I had also ordered some little stone wolf figurines to give to everyone involved int eh production and decided to add them to the gift bags as well. Andy made special wax seals for the gift bags and they are of a wolf. I did go all out on these.

Some may say that I should hang on to these ornaments as they are collectibles and while they may be collectibles, they aren't worth anything to me or to my kids. I doubt I could sell them for much of anything so why not make them part of a special gift for people who worked on this production. That has more meaning to me than keeping them in a box for 25+ years. I may pick out one special one for myself and add that to our tree in the coming years as a reminder of this performance. that's about it.

One year ago today I was part of my first ACT production, The People Vs. Frankenstein and it was this day that I was called to take on the main role in the show 20 minutes before showtime. Crazy how things happen.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
