Katrina Makes a Birthday Movie


Click To Play

Katrina got a bunch of friends and family to shoot a movie for me. It came out swell. She did all the work. There are a few things that I have to say post-fact.

The video from Dr. Pascal Venier was clipped when we received it. Sorry, sir. Katrina might’ve missed asking a few people when she reached out. It’s not for lack of love. Frankly, when I saw what she’d put together, I was blown away.

A very big thank-you to my friends and family for a very pleasant surprise.

Listen through the credits to my friend, Steven Ray’s performance of Happy Birthday complete with monkey line. : )

Love to you all.

    That was fantastic. I loved the ending: “You’re not going to put this on the Internet, are you?” LOL.
    One question, Chris: How many kids DO you have??

    The wall salutes you…

    Personally, I’m recovering from my own party that started off civilised enough then descended into a Network2-style Guiter Hero orgy (my next door neighbors! rocking out!) and then Mrs Mark & another neighbor letting off fireworks in the middle of the road.

    Someone should have called the cops…

    Happy birthday, sir. Kat did a great job. Next time she asks you to teach her a computer program, you’ll suspect something similar, I’m sure…

    As for us, our STBD Brogan Birthday video met with destruction at the hands of my DV tape heads. Suffice it to say, it included three attractive girls wrestling with the hypothetical question: “Chris Brogan or a tank full of lobsters?”

    [Spoiler alert: they preferred Chris Brogan...]
