Our cast includes Peter Kremidas, Michelle Thompson, Steve Delahoyde, Matthew Ulrich, Lauren Robertson, and Janice Rumschlag.  It’s a great gang of actor-folks.  The rehearsals have been hilarious.  Victor’s script is far more brilliant than I could have imagined.  Watching these scenes played out on “stage” is giving me such goosebumps for opening night.  This is going to be funny.

A couple of months ago, it got a nice shot in the arm from my buddies Fuzzy and Erica.  They each launched a competitor web site.  First, Erica, with “May I Please Draw an Owl for You?“  She offered genuine owl drawings for only $8, served up with a big helping of southern charm and politeness.  She was undercut by her husband, Fuzzy, who launched “I’ll Draw Any Animal You Want!“  Fuzzy offers any THREE animals (except cats) drawn on the same sheet of paper for only $5.

This friendly competition netted some new publicity for my own experiment.  The fine writers at URLesque.com wrote a nice article rating these three animal drawing services (I won, of course).  I was also a guest again on that Iowa radio show again.

None of this brought in a flood of sales – just more attention.  Lately I’ve been selling about a cat per week.  Business is slow!

Groupon did get back in touch with me.  Supposedly there will be an I Want to Draw a Cat For You side deal accompanying an upcoming Sioux City South Dakota Groupon.  Though the scheduled date for that has come and gone (it’s being rescheduled, I’m told).

Not dead yet… this could still make me a million bucks!
