Southern Gothic Productions Blog Site Three Month Anniversary Coming Up

I was talking to a friend of mine last night and we were chatting about various subjects, and it was then we realized Southern Gothic Productions blog site was nearing its three month anniversary. So, I thought I would take a moment today to say congrats on your blog's three months of blogs, pictures, vlogs and anecdotes.

I am sure the first post was a nervous collection of excitement and fear. But that first step is the hardest and with each footprint in the sand of life, the journey takes you to amazing and wonderful places.

So, what is it about the three month milestone?

According to Pythagoreans, three was the noblest of all the digits and seems to fit that entering their three month annivesary, the SGP blog crew is doing a noble effort at the moment. They are selling these amazing t-shirts with their logo on it to fans. But they aren't getting no-name random people to send them out. No, they are doing it themselves, showing everyone their commitment to this company and their projects.

Other threes: Plato split the soul into three parts: the appetitive, the spirited, and the rational and Plato also split his utopian city into three populations: laborers, guardians (warriors), and philosophers (rulers). Now that second Plato idealism kind of sounds all Southern Gothic Productions doesn't it? Laborers are the SGP Crew (aka fans), guardian are the ones behind the scenes and philosphers are the likes of Hilarie Burton, Kelly Tenney and Nick Grey.

And don't forget that "three times" is the charm. So, what will the third month hold for Southern Gothic Productioins?

So, what has Southern Gothic Productions Blog site done for you in the last three months? How has it changed you?

Nick Lachey Interview For OTH Podcast Was AWESOME

I interviewed Nick Lachey today for the April 28 One Tree Hill Podcast.

What a great guy. We just chatted about his stint on One Tree Hill, his new album and other projects he is involved in. He was so nice and so cool. How cool was he? Well, he agreed to record a bumper for me for my podcast. You know the bumpers right? Where people say this is whomever and you are listening to the One Tree Hill Podcast. Well, some lucky ones get to do something different - like Lindsay Wolfington. You know hers "You are Listening to THE Denise Gideon. And if you aren't on the One Tree Hill Podcast, then you aren't in." LOL

Well, Nick did a great one as well. Are you ready? He said:

"Hey everybody, this is Nick Lachey. I am on the One Tree Hill Podcast. Why aren't you?" Isn't that amazing?

I loved it.

Well, keep an ear out for Nick after he appears on One Tree Hill April 27. I can't wait for you guys to hear it.

Birthday Countdown Begins - One Week Until My Birthday

Yeah, as the title suggests, my birthday is in one week - April 22. It usually isn't that special because I have to work on my birthday. But, this year, I am getting to do some great things before and after my birthday.

The day before my birthday, April 21, I got invited by Rosi Golan to see her concert in Knoxville, Tenn. - which is also my hometown. So, I get to see my family as well. Rosi is touring with William Fitzsimmons, so I get to see him perform as well.

A week before my birthday, TODAY, I am interviewing Nick Lachey, which isn't too bad either. LOL

And next Friday I am going out with a bunch of friends - some of my favorite people. We have been talking about our big night our for weeks - everyone is stoked about it. And I have to say beverages will be involved.

It has been a good year for me - dare I say great? Just excited for what is to come.

And can you believe that in mid May I will have been doing my One Tree Hill Podcast for a year? Unbelievabley. I have a wish for who I would like as a guest on the one-year anniversary of my One Tree Hill Podcast.

Can ANYONE guess who that guest could be?
