Parents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins..get your Extreme Hopscotch game up! Yesterday at a BBQ in Brooklyn, while filming the kids "hopschotchin", they challenged myself and my longtime friend Jon Cropper to try. He said "no way". I tossed him my camera and thought how hard could it be? Well, I got schooled by an 8year old and they filmed it. It happens. I am not going to let it get me down. LOL. But I will get my Extreme Hopscotch game up.

Dusty Wright: William Morris, Wild Pitch, Creem Magazine, Culture Catch & NYC
I stop by NYC’s STILL LIFE hats to film the owner Frenel’s story and he is busy with customers as usual. But he says you 2 should meet “you’re both into the same thing”. Dusty Wright is the former editor-in-chief of Creem and Prince’s New Power Generation magazines as well as a writer of films, fiction, and music. He’s also a singer/songwriter who has released 3 solo CDs, and a member of the folk-rock quartet GIANTfingers. And before all of this he was an agent at the William Morris Agency! And while I film conversations with small businesses, entrepreneurs & everyday people, Dusty has been doing similar interviews but with celebrites as the founder and host of The Culture Catch. The Culture Catch is a smart pop culture website with hundreds of webcast celebrity interviews and thousands of written reviews in all areas of the arts. Dusty Wright’s in-depth interviews with A-list artists discussing music, film, television, theater, comedy, and art will have you craving for more. Leave the high gloss spin doctors at home while the artists wax poetic and passionately about their craft, not their next project. Guests include: mega-screenwriter/director David Keopp, actor/musician Kevin Bacon, actress/comedienne Susie Essman (Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm), theater actor/writer Ruben Santiago-Hudson (Lackawanna Blues), and many others
