Thank You Sir, May I Have Another:
Thank you all for your emails. Your comments and kind words are fuel for my fire to continue on this quest. FYI: I ran out of bumper stickers, so only a few days ago I placed an order for a second batch that should be getting in tomorrow. As soon as they come in, I’ll send them out to those of you who requested some.

Everyone for Only One:
I’d like to announce that we’ve set a date, time and place for the public premiere of ‘Only One’, a short film written and directed by David Michor. Many of you have followed the site long enough to know about the TransformNate.com party at The Happy Ending bar in Hollywood, and some of the issues that followed the ad in The Hollywood Reporter. Well, Happy Ending is opening its doors to us yet again, and will be hosting the premiere for the movie….. hopefully with less legal repercussions this time around. The date will be Sunday, August 10th with a one time screening at 8:30pm. We will be showing the film in the upstairs area where we will have the bar open to us to help avoid the crowd downstairs. I recommend arriving early as the space is likely to fill up quickly. So come one, come all - everyone is invited!

See you there.

The Method :
Today, I was one of several thousand people who ventured to San Diego for the Comic-Con convention. I had never been before. I thought it would be a great opportunity to spread the word of TransformNate.com, and share my enthusiasm with so many others about the new Transformers movie. Shortly after arriving, a friend of mine introduced me to none other than Method Man. Method Man was at Comic-Con participating in a panel promoting his new graphic novel - I also met with Sanford Greene and David Atchison who teamed up with Method Man on the project.

As it turns out, Method Man is somewhat of a Transformers fan. He and I had quite the discussion about the first movie, our expectations of the second one, and everything in between. He is very supportive of my goals and of TransformNate.com, which I am truly grateful for. I passed on a few stickers, and Method was kind enough to snap a picture with me holding one up for the site. A ‘V for Vendetta’ mask later, and Method Man was off to the Transformers booth, but not before personally giving me a copy of his novel.

Needless to say, my day was more than made. Thank you again, Method Man for your kind words and support.

You've Been Touched:
With the recent release of the iPhone 3G, I thought it would be fun to extend my media and offer a little something to spice up your screens. I’ve designed a TransformNate theme that can be used for both the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I’m not familiar with the iPhone and adding themes to it, but there may be a need to ‘Jailbreak’ your device in order to utilize the theme I’ve created. (Google: ‘Jailbreak iPhone/iPod”) For those who already have an unlocked iPhone or iPod the installation of the theme will be easy. Because there are so many third party applications available, I have not designed all of the icons for the interface. If you download the theme and would like to request a matching icon that I have not done yet simply email me, I will create it, and send it to you.

Below are two screen shots of what the TransformNate.com iPod/iPhone theme looks like. Simply click on the image to download the files in .ZIP format. (Larger pictures available in the MEDIA section.)

ENJOY!!

Tonight's Entertainment:
I am very proud to announce that the short film ‘Only One’ by writer and director David Michor is complete! I will be attending a private screening this evening along side other members of the cast and crew of the film. The projected public release date will be on Sunday, April 3rd. We have a location in mind, so once it is secured I will post it here and invite all to come. After the public screening I will upload the video and put it up here, so stay tuned!

Dear Michael:
The only thing I would like to request at this time is that you venture back to the home page to read the letter addressing Michael Bay if you haven’t done so already.

Hell..... Boy :
I was fortunate enough to attend the closing night of the Los Angeles Film Festival (LAFF) over the weekend with my publicist, Nancy Jundi. Part of the night was the Premiere of Hell Boy II: The Golden Army. I had the honor of meeting Guillermo del Toro along with some of the cast of the movie. I was wearing a TransformNate.com shirt, and had an interesting conversation with Guillermo about the site and the ad in The Hollywood Reporter. I also had the privilege to meet Chris Gore from G4TV who also was excited about the site and my goals for the next Transformers movie.

Things are moving along nicely. I appreciate the enthusiasm from everyone who continues to contact me after the events of last week. Thank you.

Good Times :
The CANCELED party last night was a success. Just as I said, I was at The Happy Ending last night from about 8pm until close. I made a handful of TransformNate.com shirts that myself and a group of my friends wore, and by the end of the night we had just about everyone in the bar wearing a TransformNate.com sticker somewhere on their bodies. Needless to say I was extremely happy with the turnout, all though I know if things would have gone as planned and the raffle and other events could have taken place, there would have been more in attendance. An overwhelming number of calls from people and press were coming into the bar inquiring about the event, but unfortunately we had to say the event was canceled which turned a large crowd away. Even though, I did have the pleasure of meeting several people who came out simply because they saw the ad in The Hollywood Reporter and wanted to say hi. That’s all I wanted, so as far as I see it the night was a success.

I have been getting all of your emails and while it may not be right away, I will respond to every single one of them. I promise.

Thank you. Thank you all who came out last night and made the CANCELED event exceed my expectations. I would not be this far without your support. You may have seen the camera going around the bar last night. I hope you got your hands on it and were able to say a little something. I’m going to put together a video of the night, so keep an eye out for it here and on YouTube. If by chance you have any pictures you’d like to see in the video send them my way and I’ll see what I can do.

Cancel My Order Please:
Well, it would be an understatement on my behalf to say that things have gotten very interesting since the release of The Hollywood Reporter ad. It would be hard to give a play-by-play of everything that has happened since yesterday morning and in all honesty, I don’t know if I’m allowed to say. I will however share with you a few things…

As I stated on the home page of TransformNate.com, all of the organized events of tomorrow night have been cancelled. This is due to the request of certain persons who feel that I may have misrepresented the individuals I invited and would have welcomed to the party. I stress once again, the ad I placed was an attempt to raise awareness of this site, my goals, and to send an invitation to everyone able to attend as well as those I mentioned in the ad. It goes no further than that. Furthermore, an accusation was made that I intended to see a financial gain from this event, which offends me as I have been very clear that the proceeds were to benefit The Spondylitis Association of America and NOT go into my pocket.

Now, just because the events I had lined up will no longer be happening, this does not mean you are no longer invited. As mentioned, I will still be there. I intend to personally thank every one of you that chose to show your support and come out in honor of TransformNate.com tomorrow evening!

I know that the past couple nights have been stressful not only for me, but also those involved in with this whole process. This was not my intention. I never wanted your long days to be longer because of me, especially over the alluded misuse of a single word.

With all this in my lap, I stand by the goal that not only inspired me to make this site, but also prompted me to place the ad in The Hollywood Reporter. Nothing has changed from the first day this site was launched - I want to be in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

TransformNate.com in The Hollywood Reporter:
In today’s issue of The Hollywood Reporter TransformNate.com placed an ad in The Hollywood Reporter which hopefully you have already seen by now. The intention of the ad is not only to spread the word about TransformNate.com and the goal at hand, but to also to invite all those involved with the making of the next Transformers movie to attend.

The invitation is open to everyone so please come by and watch some films made by local independent film makers, listen to live music by Bare Knuckle Bronson, and enjoy food and drink specials provided by the establishment.

Come show your support and help TransformNate.com continue to grow!

Release the Press:
Good news. We’ve added three more sponsors to our event. I have meetings set for later today with several other establishments with hopes they will come on and support TransformNate.com. For now, please welcome:

Yogi Chic
Vallerie Miller Acting Coach
Lightning Media
Soignee-LA Personal Shopping

Below I have also added 2 links (.PDF and .DOC) to the press release for those who may like to review our mission statement, and learn a little more about the event. Feel free to contact me at contact@transformnate.com or my publicist Nancy Jundi with any inquiries of the evenings events.
