First of all, I just saw the next veggie episode, "The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's" for the first time complete.  In case you don't know, this is only the second veggie episode I have written since the bankruptcy of Big Idea Productions in 2003.  (The first being "Lord of the Beans."  As you can tell, I've been in a parody mood when it comes to my veggies.)  Anyway… the new video looks great.  Brian Roberts directed it, what with Mike locked up in Toronto finishing the pirate movie.  Brian and producer Chris Wall did an awesome job, and you should really check this one out.  (And don't turn it off before the credits… heh heh… there's a litle surprise you won't want to miss.)

Secondly, Mike and the gang just finished recording the score for the movie, The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.  Picture is complete, only about a month worth of sound work and the film will be done!  The visual looks really nice.  I can't wait to hear Kurt Heinecke's final score, as recorded by an 80-piece orchestra in Prague!  (As far as I know, the release date is still in early January.)

And finally, read this amazing story to hear what a difference a certain tomato made in the life of one father.  This one kinda got to me…
