Thanks Sean. Actually, although I've been to L.A. a number of times before and enjoyed it a lot, I'm thinking that actually living here will be a whole 'nother ball game. I've only been here a few days but it seems that in order to get anywhere you need to strive to be someone you're not and kiss lots of butts (or, literally, suck lots of dick), which of course I am not willing to do. I'm not the kind of guy to climb the social/work ladder by going to the 'right' clubs and hanging with the 'right' people, I'm also not into clubbing or drug-taking, and it seems that these are the main ways in which people here meet and network, so I guess I am pretty much screwed but we'll see. Hopefully I'll find my niche and hang out with good people and avoid the bad ones.

I think you're passing an unfair judgement of LA. Perhaps you're just hanging out with the wrong people, you know? I mean, I'm pretty sure things are going to be OK with you, and that you'll gonna enjoy being there. Just be patient, things might get frustrating or tough when living in a different country, under a different culture.

Actually I've heard some pretty bad horror stories about the 'City of Angels'... Just ask Adam Sessler and MOOOOORgan Webb.

I went there when I was like five, but I don't remember anything but seeing the Hollywood sign from a far-off gas station and thinking "Isn't it supposed to be bigger?"

Why do you always come back right when I'm about to catch up with you? And then you magically pull ahead to about a hundred posts ahead of me, and we start the cycle again?

You can always make clone armies of yourself and teach them to speak with a New Zealand accent. Oh, wait, I forgot. Accents are hereditary.

Ask George Lucas. He knows everything.

No they aren't. Both of my parents have Southern accents, but I don't.

It was a joke based on all the troopers in the OT being given kiwi accents by George Lucas in the 2004 Special Editions.

Better hurry up and create that laugh track Ric.

What... When were the troopers given kiwi accents in the 2004 editions? I thought they only dubbed Fett's lines in ESB.

Oh yeah, I think you may be right. But I'm sure it was considered and might turn up on a future release. I've heard many PT fanboys (include a few members of this very sight) say they would be in favour of such a change.

Yeah, a joke based on Boba Fett suddenly having a "kiwi" accent as well as every single clone trooper. I'll have to go crazy, though, if they started messing with those stormtrooper voices. I mean, who doesn't think that that stormtrooper voice is classic?

I've been asked to fill a 20 minute slot at a venue on Melrose this sunday night and I am absolutely bricking it. What with my move to the States and my prolonged stay in the midwest (which pretty much destroyed my will to live) I have barely picked up my guitar or sung a note in almost 5 months and I'm pretty rusty (your voice is a muscle like any other and needs to be exercised). It will also be the first time I've ever played in America and the first time I've ever climbed on stage by myself without a band or at least one other person to share the ordeal - this is me and a guitar, raw and exposed. Anyone got any tips for preparing for such an event and battling stagefright? I'm looking at you Gaffer.
