i'm not totally convinced the story makes sense even with Kelly's revelations........still a cool thing though..........i'm interested in his next project.......here is a summary: Plot Outline: A construction crew finds a time capsule from an old elementary school containing pictures that portray the greatest tragedies of the past forty years, and also one event that has yet to come true. _________________ I am Torgo.

I've watched it w/ the commentary too, though it has been a while. _________________ "The revolution starts today, not tomorrow." :: got g-Love? |

Don't forget about Dave Holmes....of the little money Eisley DOES get, i'd imagine he keeps at least 15 or 20% of it right off the top....probably from the merch, too....hopefully your manager does enough for you to earn his keep!
