Well here we are, January 2nd of 2009, nearly seven years after New Zealand actor Kevin Smith's sad passing from this earth plane. I vowed back in 2002 to keep the site up (primarily a database of his theatre, film, TV, and music projects), until it no longer made sense. Time has passed, I no longer do ColdFusion coding (what the site was built in), and this morning I get an IM from my former CF cohort Sean Daniels (big thanks to Sean for allowing this site to remain on an old work server). "Server is pretty much dead. wondering about the sites of yours..." I decided at that fateful moment to grab the static stuff and relocate to Dreamhost. This pared down version includes my old flash tribute, original "about this site" page, a collection of links to various tributes, and a list of old resources. My Kiwiphile Central ode to New Zealand is now a site unto itself. If anyone has a CF server and wants to resurrect the archive, wishes to see the database for any reason, or has any questions, please let me know.
Sekrit message to Steve Watson and Patrick Faigan of the legendary Say Yes To Apes: If either of you ever answer the Xmas cards I sent from L.A. (ha!) - Steve, I've kept all my SYTA stuff, when/if you ever in this lifetime put out those threatened reissues. And I'm still missing a few of those demo tapes... Patrick, drop me an email sometime and let me know you guys are still alive and kicking - and what bands you're currently playing in. [if anyone out there happens to reside in Dunedin, New Zealand, is Records Records still in existence? Last I heard, Patrick (& Emily) were the new proprietors, having taken over for the inimitable Roi Colbert.]
Thanks everyone, and have a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2009! - julie
