In other news, we just spent a day recording voices for the second episode of the new show by Thu Tran & the Winty Gang. There was much laughing. The pilot turned out amazing, I can’t wait for people to see it…. more news as it develops.
Also, I’m also working out the details to record the new record by Pterodactyl this winter. Righteous!
