Ben Horne said, “We are all Icelanders now.” I would like to change that just a bit. “We are all Harold Smith-ers now.” But we don’t have to reside to being “A lonely soul.” (Sorry my French isn’t any better than Andy’s.)
This Saturday April 4th at 2:00 Eastern Time at the Blue Rose Magazine’s Facebook page will be the “Harold Smith Stay In/Play In” event. So exactly what does that mean? Well you go to the facebook page, like it and then exactly at 2:00 EST this Saturday a free show streams to your device. You will be able to watch it live and send comments and questions to the guests. Each of the guests will also be home FaceTiming your host, Scott Ryan (me). You will be able to see us and send comments. (Don’t worry, we can’t see you, so you can stay in your comfy clothes like you have been for the last 2 weeks.)
The show will begin at 2:00 with a comedy skit staring a Twin Peaks Season 3 cast member and myself, then we will have opening credits with a famous announcer. Then we kick off the show with the first actor to commit to this idea: Charlotte Stewart (Betty Briggs, Mary X).
I am still booking guests but the rest of the announced guests are Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey), Kimmy Robertson (Lucy), John Pirruccello (Chad), James Marshall (James), and David Patrick Kelly (Jerry Horne). David Patrick Kelly will also be performing a song live. And I may just have a surprise or two to magically appear on your Cream Corn plate.
So where did this idea come from? I was supposed to host a panel at Graceland on April 4th with some of the cast of Twin Peaks. It was rightly rescheduled to October due to the global pandemic. I was bummed about not getting to host the panel and see all my Twin Peaks friends. Then I thought, why can’t we all gather anyway? I started making calls and sending emails and everyone was excited to participate. In fact, there is a chance this show will run longer than the Oscars. But I promise it will be more entertaining.
So join us for a free online event to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Twin Peaks. We will laugh, we will be silly and take your questions. It’s a really rough time for artists right now. As an author, I don’t get let go or government assistance, people just stop buying things. The actors are in the same boat. Support art where you can because it is artists that are entertaining you on Netflix, books and music. No one is getting paid to do this event. It is free and just for you.
I really hope to see you there. If you have questions on how to do it, all you have to do is go to the Facebook page and it will be there at 2:00. I set up an event so you can have a reminder.
