My co-workers and friends really have this great idea. And we are a crazy mash up of skills that can make it happen, the only thing missing is money.
We want to make a series based on a play of one of our friends about two twin princes that switch bodies (ignore all thoughts of cliches) and it's pretty funny. It's going to be called Berry Shire.
We set up a Berry Shire Kickstarter so raise funds. Kickstarter works by collecting pledges of all sizes. We have 30 days (JUST 30 DAYS!) to collect all or nothing. We have some rewards for various pledge rates.
For more info, check out our Berry Shire home page for info on us, the project and out long term goals!

Go See The Lone Ranger- Audiences Score it at 73% Awesome
Yeah, go see it. It's a fantastic movie. Shhh, ignore the reviews, they lie! Nope, hush. See it. Just go.
I'll be the first to admit I'm getting Johny Depp fatigue. It's not that he is a bad actor, it is mostly his crazy, diverse characters seem redundant and now charmless. But don't let him deter you from seeing The Lone Ranger. And don't let the critics deter you either. I think Depp deterred the critics and that's why it has bad reviews. Not because it is a bad film. Somewhere there is a collective mental grudge against Depp and or Disney's non-comic based tentpole movies. Also, I'm not a fan of Westerns. It's not really as Western. It is, but it isn't.
The movie was a great story. More story based than action based at moments, but that should never be considered a fault. It's an origin story about how the Lone Ranger became the Lone Ranger and on a parallel line, how Tonto became the Tonto to mentor and guide the Lone Ranger. I'm going to compare it to Zorro from the 90's with Antonio Banderas. I used to think the movie was slow and clunky and lacked action. Know why? Cause it was an origin story. But the fact is you can't have these characters without explaining, in depth, their motivations. And to compare Lone Ranger and Zorro, Lone Ranger is far more interesting and action packed.
If, in my opinion, (which reflects 73% of the audience) is that its a fun romp. It's not mindless, but it isn't complicated. But it's told with a sense of mystery as to where the audience becomes engaged and want to figure out the evil plot. And the villains... they are great villains. Classic yet original, creepy and yet you want more of them. The actions sequences are spectacular, especially the last 20 minutes when the William Tell Overture plays. Aside from John Carter (which also is a great movie according to audience scores) I've never wanted a sequel so much from a movie that most likely will not get one. UNLESS YOU GO SEE IT!
Some things to consider. It is violent. I'm not sure what age should go, it's your call. But it's not a PG Disney movie.

Weekend at Tampa/ St. Petes.---Berryshire News
We went on a weekend trip to the Tampa/St. Pete area (crazily after a long week at work) and we did so much that I might take a while to cover it. But we went to Busch Gardens cause I can't stop theme parking. We also went to the beach and got burned, by accident of course. Then we hit Acropolis, our friend's favorite place to eat. It was Greek and it was yummy.
On a separate note, I finally finished the tedious set up for Kickstarter! It should be going live in a few days. I know that all of 125 views on this blog, so I'm not even preaching to the choir, but we really really really want to get this all together.
