Don't worry though, we'll still be offering all of our event coverage to the Michigan area. I guess you could say we're expanding our coverage area. Katie is starting her M.F.A. in Creative Writing at Southern Illinois University - Carbondale, and I'll be working harder than ever at expanding our business.
Ed and I spent the last two days up at Paul Bunyan Scout Reservation in Rose City Michigan, shooting video for a promotional video that we've decided to donate to the camp. I spent six years of my life working as a counselor up there, so I figured it would be a nice way to give something back to the camp for all the great times and memories I have from there. Not to mention I spent another six years up there attending summer camp as a camper during my Boy Scout years...
The camp just installed a climbing tower and four new ziplines, so it was by far, one of the coolest shoots I've ever been on! We took the cameras across all the ziplines, and I also repelled halfway down the climbing tower and spent about an hour hanging from my harness, shooting great shots of the scouts climbing and repelling. Great stuff! I'm anxious to get the footage captured to check out what we got!

Hey fellow Michigander, welcome to Southern Illinois! I've been here almost half a decade now, and I still really really really miss the Great Lakes and Michigan people and being able to give directions using my hand as a map... but Sou Ill has a lot going for it and for the foreseeable future, it's my home. SIUC has a fantastic creative writing program -- you made a good choice coming here. Since you like zip lines, make sure to check out the high ropes course at Touch of Nature. Way cool. Seriously. I used to camp at Camp Lu-Lay-Lea in Lupton, and a highlight of the trip was that pizza joint in Rose City decorated with a gangster motif. Don't remember the name of it, but they had great pizza. I work at SIUC and I hang a bit with the creative writing folks -- I 'll look for ya. Michiganders can find each other!
Wow! Great to see someone has actually been reading the blog! Also great to hear from a fellow Michigander! So far, we're really enjoying Southern Illinois. The people are remarkably friendly, and the scenery reminds me a lot of home. We're living about two miles from Crab Orchard Lake, so it's always a nice little drive when we run into Carbondale. -- Now, if only we can adjust to the hot weather!!
