Paul Sanchez's take on K-ville

[jazzykeb]

September 20, 2007 - Thursday

K-Ville
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

The television show K-Ville had its debut this week. I thought it was terriffic. To be honest I watched out of loyalty, my wife works as a set dresser and I wanted to support the show that is supporting us. I wasn't expecting much because Hollywood has had a difficult time capturing New Orleans in the past. That being said the show and it's writers really got us post Katrina here in the real k-ville
There were moments so real I had lived them. The conversation the couple has about living in Atlanta is one I had with my wife and many couples we know had. The little daughter being afraid of the rain, we all live that now. I have a friend who is a grown woman, a singer, but if it's raining hard she will cancel her gig no questions asked, been like that since Katrina. To be honest I was moved not quite to tears but nearly several times. The cop who is angry at his partner for having deserted him, has anger issues and drinks on the job. I know that guy, he is a cop, lawyer, musician, writer, cook, waiter. He is all of us who stayed and are staying trying to work through the hard times and enjoy the good times.
I heard that the New York Times and the USA Today had bad reviews calling the show unrealistic. When was the last time either writer lived here in K-ville. Is the show too violent? Well the sad truth is they only have one murder a show, we are actually averaging two and three a day some weeks. New Orleans is in real trouble and this show shines a light on how hard things are and the spirit it is taking to overcome it. Neighbors actually do come together and celebrate their return as they did at the show's end.The shows lead Anthony Andersen is likeable and brings a lot of heart,( an essential ingredient in playing a New Orleanian), to the role, you dig the guy, know somebody like him. Cole Hauser has the dug in attitude of those of us who remember who we were before the flood and how maybe we could have been more and want to be better people after the flood and more importantly when he said New Orleans East he said it like I do and not like Foghorn Leghorn. I was so excited that somebody got the accent right, I hadn't even hoped they would try. The cast was solid not overdoing it.
Check out Chris Rose's article about the show at nola.com this week. Chris stayed trhough the flood and wrote essays on life in New Orleans which made him a Pulitzer Prize runner-up. His thoughts were similar to mine and I was glad a local write felt the same and wrote about it.
Tune in to K-ville. Folks around the country always ask what they can do to help New Orleans. K-ville is here giving people jobs, spending money to film and to live. Eating in our restaurants, going to see music in our bars. All that and they made a good show. If you want to help, tune in and check out life in K-ville.
peace, love and jazz fest,
Paul

His wife works as a set dresser!!! I want my work in K-Ville!!! Does anyone know her??? I think that those cops can use a little Rosetree art in their homes! How about filming bad guys running through the studio like they did in "Moonraker" ?????? I'm photogenic! I can do this!!! (sorry, lost myself there...)

[jazzykeb]

drop a note to Paul on his mySpace page Rosetree....it can't hurt and I am sure he would understand the tie to the local economy!

No Problem!! I don't have MySpace either.

Let me know how it truns out. We have a friend who is a prop master out here so he might be able to do some investigating for you.

[jazzykeb]

you already have it, but FYI, you do not have to have your own mySpace page to register and read/post to others pages.

[ibjamn]

Rosie, also, FWIW, I sent Paul a myspace message about some equipment left at the patry & he sent me back a really nice message the very next day. :)

Also mention that you are a proud sponsor of the patry!

don't forget the record label

Rosy cher, I set up a MySpace page for my tattooist and I'd be happy to help you set one up after I get into town next week . . . my great pleasure for all of the kindness you and Brenda have shown me! :D

[stynger]

So should I mention that I am a Threadhead?

Defintely. I saw him a week after the patry here in Atlanta and told him I was there and he asked "are you a threadhead"?

[mdfest]

Tell him youve posted 4200 times in less than a year!

[rosetree]

Paul's wife is Shelly (or Shelley, my bad, I don't know if there's an extra e) and she's a sweet lady. I agree with dropping Paul a note through his myspace or otherwise, I don't think you have to be a myspace member to send a myspace message.

[Amy Winette]

So should I mention that I am a Threadhead?

Absolutely, and yes mention the patry (and that you're a sponsor) and the record the threadheads are helping him produce for John Boutte -- Paul knows and loves us threadheads :)

And RT if you want several of us do indeed have a myspace page and I am sure many of us have Paul added as a friend...so if you want me to shoot him a message on your behalf just let me know....as my old congressman Tip O'Neil used to say "all politics is local...now pass me that bottle of scotch"

Hey maybe when we could submit a story plot for an episdode based around Rosie's gallery... international art dealer's evil plan to smuggle [insert drug of choice here] out of the city in a selection of purty PUMPKINS foiled by mild mannered artist and his band of merry threadheads!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!
Sounds like a winner to me Ozzie!... Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close up!;) :D

[rosetree]

OK , Here's my letter... does it sound too beggy? (is that a word?) Let me know, and then I'll send it;) :D

Dear Paul:
I have been following your exploits in your blog through postings on the Jazz Fest chat room. I am a Threadhead, and I am a sponsor of the annual “Patry” that you played at last year. In your latest posting, I became aware of your wife’s work with the TV show K-Ville as a set dresser. This is the reason that I am writing you.
I am a New Orleans glass artist with my own glass-blowing studio in Algiers Point, Rosetree Blown Glass Studio. I have been an artist in New Orleans for the past 25 years. I have also been a vendor selling my glass art at Jazz Fest for the past 25 years in the Contemporary Crafts section.
I am hoping that the producers of the show are using as much local talent as they can in support of the local economy. I would love to meet with your wife to see if any of my work can be used in the show. I think that it would be a nice addition to what I see in the series. I can also offer my studio up as a venue to do some of the filming in. It is a beautiful restored Art Deco movie theater that has 6000 square feet of space.
I would love to have you and Shelly come over to my studio and see the type of artwork that we create here. You can hop over on the ferry “At the Foot of Canal Street”, we are only 8 blocks from the landing. If you can’t make it, you can look at my website www.rosetreegallery.com . You will need a user ID—glass and password – customer to see the whole site.
I hope to see y’all soon,
Sincerely,
Mark

[ohio]

He should know who we & the patry are- he played there last fest....

[ozzie]

Rosie, I'd offer the studio as a shooting (of the film kind) venue as well... lots of times in cop shows there is a scene where the baddies are at a swanky art show sipping cocktails and plotting their next heist. To get your building on screen would be a great marketing boost.

Oooh, and I've read a novel where the main character was a glass blower and one of his staff had a v-e-e-r-y unfortunate run in of a furnace kind with the bad guy. In fact the whole book was set around the glass studio. (Dick Francis if you like cheesy detective stories.)

Cheers.

[rosetree]

I know that, I just didn't want to assume that he knew....I'll change it.

Great idea!
What was the name of the Dick Francis novel. Other people have mentioned it to me.

[ohio]

Just turn it into a positive: I'm one of the Threadheads, you played at our Patry that I helped sponsor last fest....

[ozzie]

I'll look on the shelf tonight.

[rosetree]

Changes made......

[festivalgirl]

My friend is on 5A shoots this week but said he would make a couple of phone calls. I let you know as soon as he gets back to me.

5A shoots???

[jazzykeb]

Up to you whether you want to add it or not (or honestly can say) but you might want to compliment his music if you know it.

I did put the reference in to his song "At the Foot of Canal Street" ;) :D

[festivalgirl]

5A shoots???

Yeah. It really cuts into our Sport Sundays at our local. ;) :(

He runs the 2nd unit so they get the middle of the night or early mornings. I feel bad since he's on "Heroes" and I don't watch.

[rosetree]

So 5A shots = shooting @ 5:00 AM?

[festivalgirl]

So 5A shots = shooting @ 5:00 AM?

Yep. They do a lot of locations so sometimes the earlier the better traffic & congestion wise here.

[festivalgirl]

Given the average [or below average] actor, the crew is ready .... the "talent" - not so much.

[ozzie]

What was the name of the Dick Francis novel. Other people have mentioned it to me.

Shattered (2000)

Successful glass blower Gerard Logan is friends with jockey Martin Stukely. Martin indirectly gives Gerard a videotape that becomes the object of an intensive search by a gang of bad guys. Gerard has to deal with the ruffians on his own because Martin has been killed in a racing accident. Gerard receives help from some unlikely quarters as he attempts to determine why the tape is so important.

All his books are cheesy mysteries, generally involving the wonderful world of horse racing.

[Corona]

Did ya let him know that you are also a vendor and have been for 25 years at Jazzfest?

[rosetree]

Did ya let him know that you are also a vendor and have been for 25 years at Jazzfest?

I could work that in...;)

[Corona]

I think you should...he's a JF lover too so it couldn't hurt.....

[Amyloves...]

As a musician who is working in New Orleans, I’m sure that you are aware of the struggle of small businesses since the storm. I am hoping that the producers of the show are using as much local talent as they can in support of the local economy.

I think your letter sounds great but there's something I don't like within those two sentences above that seem to take away from it. Maybe you should use only one or the other cause the two together sound heavy to me. But I've only had one cup of coffee so I'm not functioning that great yet.

Love it Ozzie!!

[BigDag]

Imagine all the flying glass if they filmed one of those shoot-em-up scenes in Rosy's gallery!!

[Frosty]

Is there glass at your glass factory?



Other than that, I liked the letter as you wrote it.

[rosetree]

Hmmm, funny question.....or is it?.....
Yes......., but we are a studio , not a factory.;) :D

[rosetree]

Frosty...
I did change it a little...

[Frosty]

Hmmm, funny question.....or is it?.....
Yes......., but we are a studio , not a factory.;) :D

Studio. Shows you how much Louisiana Music Factory is on my mind. And it gets real confusing how Rebirth recorded a CD at the Glass House making THAT a "glass studio".

By the way, there's not a baby to be found at the Baby Factory in Chicago and some say there is no Jazz at Jazz Fest. Reminds me of the old Ben and Jerry's jingle......there ain't no Frusen, there ain't no Gladje...there ain't no Haagen, there ain't no Dazs"

Take away the first sentence and leave the second. ;)

[freebo]

Yeah. What Monica said...

Can the first and keep the second.

Not to quibbly but

"I can also offer my studio up as a venue to do some of the filming in"

Ending the sentence with a preposition will get you reprimanded by your grammer teacher and/or qualify you for a job with the Water Department in Chicago (Motto: "Gettin' da vote out")

OK Mr. Quibbly! I made the change...thanks for your proof-readering!;) :p :D

[funkkjunkie]

Ha, ha, Frosty. My writer son might beg to differ as he has shown me in a couple of his books on the subject of grammar that some believe it to be ok to end a sentence with a preposition.
Now you've reminded me of one of my favorite joikes.
Southern girl sits down on an airplane next to a couple of Yankees. SG asks Where y'all from? Yankee says WE are from a place where we know better than to end a sentence with a preposition. SG says Where yall from, bitch?
:cool:

Product placement & location rentals can be a nice chunk of change, too.

Good karma is a wonderful thang.............

Keep your eye out for a red and yellow wavy bowl, a large red "Vortex" vase, some candle stick holders, a couple of paperweights, a couple of pillar candle holders, and a little fish!;) Shelly will be back tomorrow returning those and maybe I can talk her into using some of the pumpkins!:D

[jazzykeb]

Thats great rosetree. I'm glad it is working out. I sense good synergy here. Good luck.

[Corona]

oh man, soooooo exciting!!!!

[NYMAMA]

RT please remind us when "your" episode airs.

[Zydekitten]

WOO to the HOO and Mazel Tov, cher Rosy!!! I just caught up with this thread (as I was perplexed about all of the continuing conversation about Paul Sanchez' take on Kville) and I'm SO very happy for you!!

This just proves that you are indeed a STAR, baybee!!! (and later I can say that I knew him "when" . . .)

Congrats Rosetree!! What a great break!! From everything i've heard shelly is awesome, and I'm sure she and Paul will be back sometime soon!! I think this week (tonight) is episode 3...

[linza22]

fantastic RT!! can't wait to watch the episode!

[Zbonnie]

I think this week (tonight) is episode 3...It was on in Boston last night (Monday), but they have been replaying it on the following night. Good luck. (I fell asleep during it -- no judgment on the show, I liked what I saw, but sometimes the body overules the mind.)

[Corona]

I thought it was really good this week...but fell asleep at the end...WHO did it?!!!

[ozzie]

Maybe the butler did it.

Corona, that's my bedtime viewing tonight -- I taped it but haven't watched it yet. Someone will prolly beat me to the answer tho! RT, we have to watch your episode, let us know when it's on. We'll create a new drinking game -- one long sip when you spot a Rosetree creation in a scene. You have to chug the whole thing if you see a pumpkin!!!!!!

God what would we do if a Threadhead was in a scene!!! Slurge city...

I love it Vdub!!! Although she didn't take a pumpkin this time. Big dink for a wavy bowl or large vase....little sip for candlesticks or paperweights or fish...

BTW, I know who did it, but I don't want to spearl it for you...

[rosetree]

I thought it was really good this week...but fell asleep at the end...WHO did it?!!!

I thought that it has improved also...hookers, crooked politicians, latinos....we got it all!!! The whole Eastover part was good too...

[Corona]

They dealt with the issues pretty well too I thought.....I'm kinda shocked that they haven't blown it yet......despite the cliches and some accent issues....they've handled it way more tasteful than I ever thought they would. Can't wait to see your stuff RT. Episode 7 right?

so WHO did it?!!!! VW has watched her episode now....so spill people!

LOL the hooker "CI"

VW- I think if we see a threadhead we have to dink a 6pk of Abita and then go outside and lead a secondline down your street!

[Corona]

no shit, it was her??? Never thought she was a suspect at all...cool :)

[ScoopJohnD]

And all this time I thought it was Colonel Mustard, in the library, with the candlestick.

Belated congrats on the coup RT....now don't be goin all 'Hollywood' on us. :)

Oh boy, that's a really long walk to get to my street! I predict that if this series lasts we will indeed see a threadhead! And I bet it will be:

Choose one:

Rosetree

IBJamn and Hebjamn

Kitty

NOLA

Hey we need to set up a poll!

[Corona]

roflmao...sounds good!!! I pick Rosetree cuz maybe they'll use his studio and he'll be in the background doing his craft while the characters are doing their thing.....here's hopin!

[NYMAMA]

Maybe we can get them to use the patry as a backdrop for a episode? Then we will all be in it!

I love your thinking Baybee!!!!:D

[ibjamn]

David was thinking there should be some plot twist involving the ovens at Rosetree. It would be a nasty way to die.....

[Amy Winette]

Yup, the hooker did it, but the Latin Kings came after her too, shooting at police officers, so they were arrested too.

RT, it's wonderful how this has worked out! We'll be looking for your pieces in about a month :)

[rosetree]

Interesting.......
The better plot would be using a knife or sword made out of glass to "off"
someone and then throwing it in the furnace to melt.....

A little glass history----In 1291 the glass furnaces were moved from Venice to the island of Murano. The reason was twofold. One was the danger of fire from the furnaces. The city leaders wanted to make the city safer. Reason two was to isolate the glassblowers so they could not trade the glassmaking secrets outside the island. If a glassblower made it off the island, he was hunted down by assassins and had his hands cut off and it is also said that they were killed with a glass sword!
Updating this in a modern plot line would be tres cool!

Deja Vu starring Denzel had the ferry blowing up as a major scene in the movie.

That reminds me, RT. We just got back from Vegas. We stayed at the Bellagio which is decorated with pieces by Dale Chihuly and I thought of you.

I didn't get a picture of the ceiling in the lobby (dummy me) but I did get a pic of one of the flower pieces in the bar:

[Zydekitten]

Dale Chihuly is one of my favorite glass artists (below Mark Rosenbaum of course!) and I remember seeing something on television when he was creating the pieces for the Bellagio - how cool to see them in person!

I've seen some others of his up in Seattle, which is where he lives - they are amazing . . . but dey ain't no Mardi Gras punkins or Cat 5 Vases!! :D
