Big Night

Despite my constant worrying no one would show up, last night's premier of my first-ever documentary "The Miracle of Father Kapaun" went off wonderfully.

Fifteen minutes before showtime, the auditorium was starting to fill up fast.

The Bishop of the Diocese of Wichita, Michael Jackels, jokes with Chase Kear, one of the main subjects of the documentary.

Wendy Lewis, a local artists who painted a beautiful mural of Father Kapaun that was featured in the documentary, exchanges information with Chase afterwards.

Me and the star.

There was a second showing immediately after the first. It was mostly populated by students from Kapaun Mount Carmel High School. Don't ask me to explain the partial roulette wheel above the screen. Guess it was sign to the crowd that they were taking a real gamble on whether it was worth their time to come.

Probably Not Gonna Have A Red Carpet

Drove to Kansas City Friday morning to pick up five boxes that looked like this:


In those 5 boxes were 1000 of these.

So the DVD is done and for sale. Here's the link to order online

Now I just gotta hope somebody watches it.

Time To Put A Fork In This Sucka

The master of audio engineering, Carter Green, masters the audio for my documentary Wednesday morning at Greenjeans Studios in Wellington, Kansas.


This was really the last major step that needed to be done to finish this thing up. As of 9 p.m. on December 2, I think I'm finished. I'm about one day ahead of my self-imposed deadline.

BTW... first viewing for the public is on Dec. 13 at Kapaun Mount Carmel High School in Wichita at 7 p.m.
