...and the future is clean...



.
...And full of round buildings.
.
Science World, aka the old BC Pavillion, is getting a full scrub for the upcoming games. Now there's a window washer's version of rubik's cube.
.

And check out the once dingy planeterium. -- All Jetson'sy and - who knew? - a bit of a Haida influence showing up there too. Westcoast futurism. Pretty cool. Hey Douglas Copeland - you reading this?...
.
Hey so I thought - time for our Year End Clearance Special. The acting biz, much like the REST OF THE WORLD is just coming out of an economic slump. It's tough. So I thought I'd do some advertising to help spur the economy. Move some product. You can help.
.
Just save and print out the coupon below and, I'm serious now, send to your favourite TV producer, suggesting possible roles for David Nykl. It'll be great. Kinda like assisted direct marketing. :-)
.
You guys are great.

Welcome to the Future


It's 2010. It is now, officially, the Future. Just this morning I came outside and my car was levitating. People were flying around with jet-packs, going to their white dome-shaped office towers. It all happened so suddenly. The future has arrived. Welcome to it.
.
Actually, it looks pretty much the same outside as it did before the future arrived. The only difference is the Olympic parking restrictions throughout our neighbourhood and the funky new East Van sign. It`s pretty cool. (the sign, not the traffic chaos). Funny how a gang logo has become public art. I used to see that cross spray painted onto walls or as faded tattoos.

.
Teh interweb says January 20th will be my Human Target episode. It`s the one on the plane. Drop everything, tune in, then write a letter to the producers saying I should be a regular character. (I love you guys...)

.
We had a cast and crew screening of Beast of Bottomless Lake last weekend and it was great! I had forgotten much about how the story holds together and have never seen how pretty it looks and how great it sounds. Kudos to Kennedy and Craig. Good work guys. Now, I hope it gets out there and people get a chance to see it. I think it`s a great film.
.


And hey - what luck - filmed a spot for some company yesterday. So coming soon to a living room near you: a jingle I think you may remember from the eighties (those of you who remember the eighties).
.
Talk again soon...
