Today we're joined by tattoo artist and entrepreneur Kat Von D to discuss her incredible testimony of coming to faith in Christ and her ongoing faith journey. Kat explains her upbringing and how she initially rebelled against going to church because it was only something she was told to do. We take a look at her rise to fame through the shows "Miami Ink" and "LA Ink" and her interest in spiritual practices that were just methods of putting Band-Aids on a sinking ship. She recalls her journey to sobriety and how her husband helped her readjust her thinking on not just her faith but also some political topics. We discuss her viral baptism video, some of the backlash she's gotten from both non-Christians and Christians, and how she can actually use certain aspects of her life and style to reach those who may feel ostracized by Christianity or “Christian culture.” Then, what would Kat tell those who have questions about Christianity as she did? --- Relevant Episodes: Ep 170 | Is It OK to Celebrate Halloween? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-170-is-it-ok-to-celebrate-halloween/id1359249098?i=1000452267090 Ep 514 | Halloween: Satanic Trick or Harmless Treat? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-514-halloween-satanic-trick-or-harmless-treat/id1359249098?i=1000540050585 Ep 697 | Revealing the Real Origins of Halloween | Guests: Jeremiah Roberts & Andrew Soncrant (Cultish) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-697-revealing-the-real-origins-of-halloween/id1359249098?i=1000583868843 --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise – use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike Diamond is an Author, Television Personality, Director, Life Coach and Interventionist. Known for his work on the hit TV shows NY Ink and Bondi Ink Tattoo Crew, which is currently nominated for a Logie Award for Best Reality Series. Originally from Perth, Western Australia, Mike got off to a bit of a rough start. Battling undiagnosed dyslexia, he started using drugs and alcohol at age 12. At age 16, he was expelled from Aquinas College and finished at Melville H.S. Immediately after graduation, Mike moved to Sydney and enrolled at the Actors Center. He got a job at a local clothing store which, unbeknownst to him at the time, would change his life forever. Lady Luck was on Mike's side when a customer at the store handed him a Green Card Lottery ticket. Mike won a green card in 1997 and made the move to Miami.  Shortly after his arrival, Mike landed a role on the CBS sitcom, Grapevine from Director David Frankel. After Grapevine, Mike moved to NYC, where he worked on various projects including as a guest star on Sex and the City. Mike wrote, created and starred in a VH1 pilot with former STP and Velvet Revolver frontman, Scott Weiland. Splitting his time between NYC, Miami and Los Angeles, Mike had regular gigs performing stand up at Caroline's on Broadway and The Comedy Store. Mike was properly introduced into the tattoo world when he appeared on Miami Ink. He later became the store manager for his good friend, Ami James, at Wooster St and starred on Season 3 of NY Ink. Mike then headed back to his hometown where he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in Bondi Ink Tattoo Crew, based on Bondi Beach.  Although Mike has had plenty of “highs” in his life, he has also had his “low” moments along the way. Mike has battled cocaine and alcohol addiction for the majority of his life. The defining moment came at the height of his career while shooting a TV show for VH1. To the outside world, Mike looked like he was living the dream but on the inside, Mike was spiritually bankrupt and miserable. He realized that if he didn't turn his life around, he was going to die. April 16, 2006 was the day Mike Diamond got sober. Since then, Mike has literally helped hundreds of people on the road to recovery. He is on beck and call to all his clients and friends, helping them through their life problems and battles with addiction. You can find Mike on the current season of “Intervention” on A&E as an Interventionist.

Kat Von D was born in Nuevo Leon, Mexico.   Her family moved to LA when she was 4 years old.  She starting playing piano at the age of 5, and was inspired by her grandmother to pursue music.  No one in her family drank or did drugs, a very religious family upbringing for her as a kid. When Kat was 13, she discovered punk rock music, and that culture spoke to her.  She always felt like an outcast, and this music made her feel like a part of something.  She shaved her head, started tattooing her friends, and this really scared her parents.  At the age of 15, her parents put her in the Provo Canyon boarding school.  This was the same boarding school that Paris Hilton went to, and suffered abuse.  Kat also suffered abuse herself.   After leaving the school, she starting drinking to deal with the trauma she just went through. Eventually she found herself on the TLC TV series “Miami Ink” for 2 seasons.  She eventually left the show and opened her own tattoo shop, and starred in the series “LA Ink”, where she stayed for four seasons.  Kat's drinking and partying started to get heavy around this time, and it started to take its toll on her.  She decided to get sober in 2007, during the first season of LA Ink.  She started the process, which was tough at first, but 14 years later, she has stuck with it and is still sober to this day. In 2016, she met her husband Rafael Reyes (AKA Leafar Seyer) who is the main artist in the cholo-goth band Prayers.  She was there for a music video appearance, but they really hit it off personally.  The ended up getting married in 2018, and gave birth to their son later that year.  She's written 2 books, “High Voltage Tattoo” and “The Tattoo Chronicles”.  She's also started her own vegan makeup company, with 20% of the proceeds going to Project Chimps, an organization dedicated to providing care for retired research chimpanzees.   Kat is vegan herself, and wanted to make sure her make-up was cruelty free for animals.  Now, she's focusing on her family, finding the balance of doing her own projects, as well as family life.  She also shares insights as to why she decided to move to a small town in Indiana.  She's also finally pursuing her music endeavors with a new album out “Love Made Me Do It”. This is Kat Von D in her own words, on Knockin' Doorz Down.

In this episode Adam enjoys a great conversation with Luke Wessman. He has a fascinating life story; he's a well established tattoo artist that was born on a hippie commune in rural Tennessee. We talk about many various topics from meditation, wild conspiracy theories, Kanye, “have to's & get to's, relationships, how to improve our romantic relationships, what it was like to work and appear on the show Miami Ink, as well as his intriguing road to becoming a high degree Freemason. Lukes discusses his childhood experiences that are anything but normal— he came into the world the natural way (..in a tent) on a fully sustainable hippie commune with no running water or electricity, then moving and living a nomadic life up and down the coast of California. He discusses how he had a moment of embarrassment with his childhood background while eventually deciding to embrace his story which led him to learning the value of hard work. His values and life experiences eventually moved him to start the community and brand called The Lost Art of the Gentleman; “Treat them like you don't have them forever,” is how Luke would advise men on the treatment of, not just romantic partners, but people in our lives that matter most to us.. Finally, Luke talks about his career as a tattoo artist, doing it for the love of the craft, the secret to being able to work with high-profile clients, working with people without a hidden agenda and just being a genuine person. We believe we can all learn something positive from Luke and this podcast proves it.

Kat von D, by any measure, is one-of-a-kind. One of the world's most celebrated tattoo artists, Kat defies the idea that while life is short, art is forever, choosing a medium that is inherently perishable: the human body. She rose to fame for her starring appearances on two popular TV shows, Miami Ink and LA Ink, and parlayed that recognition into a wildly successful entrepreneurial career through her line of makeup, simultaneously becoming both an alternative fashion icon and a social media sensation. Music has always been central to her creative inspiration, and while her image evokes the worlds of punk, metal and goth, she is equally devoted to the classical piano, citing Beethoven and Glenn Gould among her heroes. We caught up with Kat on the eve of the release of her first album, “Love Made Me Do It,” for a conversation ranging from her modest beginnings to her rise to fame and her new musical adventures.

Mindpool & Tattoodo – Crowdsourcing mindsker afstanden fra chef til medarbejder Mik Thobo-Carlsen er serieiværksætter, uddannet i filosofi og med egne ord lidt af en nørd. Han var med til at grundlægge verdens største tatoveringsplatform uden selv at have en tatovering og solgte videoovervågning 10 år for tidligt. Den virksomhed vi fokuserer på i dette afsnit, er Mindpool. Her er målet igen en global platform, som skal virke til crowdsourcing af viden. Afstanden mellem folkene på gulvet og bestyrelsesmedlemmer og direktion er blevet så lang, at meget viden går tabt i organisationen. Mindpool kan ved hjælp af simple spørgsmål gøre denne viden tilgængelig for ledelsen og måske gøre verden til et lidt bedre sted. Det her er hans iværksætterhistorie. Hør mere i vores podcast. Artiklen er skrevet af Niklas Vinther Jakobsen Produceret af Podtribe media. Annoncør på afsnittet er Global Roadrunnerog Deloitte. Hvis du vil støtte vores lille medie, så kan du gøre det her på Patreon.Druktur på Roskilde festival med stjernen Ami James Mik har, som mange andre iværksættere, været i gang med mange projekter undervejs i sin karriere. Overalt hvor han ser og hører om udfordringer, ser han forretningsidéer og potentiale for optimering. Tidligt blev han venner med en anden serieiværksætter, nemlig Morten Lund. De arbejdede sammen om flere projekter, herunder Mediekompagniet og Net-x. Senere arbejdede Mik sammen med den unge udvikler Johan om Tattoodo, der i dag er verdens største platform om tatoveringer. Mik fortæller om mødet med en af de andre co-foundere: ”Så fik vi fat i Ami James fra Miami Ink. Vi ringede til ham og han sagde ’Yes, det lyder fedt og jeg kommer til Danmark på søndag.’ Vi havde jo ingenting, så da Ami kom fire dage senere tænkte vi, at vi kunne drikke os stive. Så vi tog på Roskilde (Festival red.) med ham og så blev vi bedste venner. Vi havde håbet, at han bare ville skrive lidt om det på sin Facebook, men han ville være med som aktiv partner. Det var fantastisk og han åbnede hele tattoo-verdenen for os.” – Mik Thobo-Carlsen, CEO MindpoolMindpool bringer viden fra frontlinjen til ledelsen Mik tog efter nogle år sine erfaringer fra Tattoodo med sig videre i et nyt projekt. Målet med Mindpool er, at tage temperaturen løbende på virksomheders og organisationers medarbejdere og få viden til at flyde nemmere op igennem organisationsdiagrammet. Kollektiv intelligens eksisterer i alle grupper, men det er sjældent det bliver udnyttet ordentligt. Platformen benytter sig også af gamification for at engagere medarbejderne. Noget lignende arbejder den danske virksomhed Qvest også på, du kan høre afsnittet med den virksomhed her. Noget af det Mik fortæller meget levende om, er værdien af dygtige medarbejdere og gode teams. For ham, har kemien rigtig stor betydning. Den menneskelige forståelse og intuition kan være med til at vælge rigtigt til ansættelsessamtaler. Familiefølelsen i Mindpool er nemlig vigtig for, at virksomheden præsterer. Mik anfægter også nogle iværksætteres tilknytning til deres virksomheder. For ham er det vigtigt, at han ikke er lig med sine virksomheder, og at han kan slippe sine projekter igen. Mens andre måske ser deres virksomhed som deres lille baby, er Mik klar til at ’kill his darlings’ hvis det bliver nødvendigt. Han understreger dog, at han vil gøre alt hvad han kan, for at passe på Mindpool. Alt det, og meget mere, taler vært Mette Bloch og gæst Mik Thobo-Carlsen om i dette afsnit af Iværksætterhistorier.

In this episode of The Win-Win Effect Podcast, Chris Ross speaks to a dear friend, Author, Entrepreneur, Speaker, and Coach Mike Diamond.He is known for his work on the hit TV shows NY Ink and Bondi Ink Tattoo Crew, which is currently nominated for a Logie Award for Best Reality Series.Originally from Perth, Western Australia, Mike got off to a bit of a rough start. Battling undiagnosed dyslexia, he started using drugs and alcohol at age 12. At age 16, he was expelled from Aquinas College and finished at Melville H.S. Immediately after graduation, Mike moved to Sydney and enrolled at the Actors Center. He got a job at a local clothing store, which, unbeknownst to him at the time, would change his life forever. Lady Luck was on Mike's side when a customer at the store handed him a Green Card Lottery ticket. Mike won a green card in 1997 and made a move to Miami. Shortly after his arrival, Mike landed a role on the CBS sitcom, Grapevine from Director David Frankel.After Grapevine, Mike moved to NYC, where he worked on various projects including as a guest star on Sex and the City. Mike wrote, created, and starred in a VH1 pilot with former STP and Velvet Revolver frontman, Scott Weiland. Splitting his time between NYC, Miami, and Los Angeles, Mike had regular gigs performing stand-up at Caroline's on Broadway and The Comedy Store. Mike was adequately introduced into the tattoo world when he appeared on Miami Ink.He later became the store manager for his excellent friend, Ami James, at Wooster St and starred in Season 3 of NY Ink. Mike then headed back to his hometown where he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in Bondi Ink Tattoo Crew, based on Bondi Beach. Although Mike has had plenty of “highs” in his life, he has also had his “low” moments along the way. Mike has battled cocaine and alcohol addiction for the majority of his life.The defining moment came at the height of his career while shooting a TV show for VH1. Mike looked like he was living the dream to the outside world, but on the inside, Mike was spiritually bankrupt and miserable. He realized that if he didn't turn his life around, he was going to die. April 16, 2006, was the day Mike Diamond got sober. Since then, Mike has helped hundreds of people on the road to recovery. He is at the beck and call of all his clients and friends, helping them through their life problems and battles with addiction.

Buenos Dias, buenas tardes o buenas noches!Cualquiera que sea la hora a la que estéis leyendo éste post que hoy acompaña al nuevo capitulo de mi podcast. En ésta ocasión me entrevisto a mi misma en un pequeño alarde de narcicismo, jeje!Lo hago para dar respuesta a muchas de las preguntas que me han hecho algunos seguidores de instagram, twitter, facebook, etc… ¿Qué preguntas? Pues de todo un poco, desde ¿qué te has tatuado? si duele, incluso el ¿por qué un tatuaje? Creo que es interesante contar la experiencia, ya que no es algo que se haga cada día y además es algo que suele ser algo muy muy personal, lleno de significados e historias.Hay un programa de televisión llamado “Miami Ink” que habla sobre tatuajes y sus historias, es un programa que me encanta ver cuando doy con el en la caja tonta. Mi historia en concreto es bastante amplia, éste es el 6º tatuaje de 5 anteriores con sus respectivas historias y porqués, el primero es una clave de sol que me hice el 9/9/99 (si, la fecha fue elegida a conciencia), el segundo es una mariposa con todo el significado de libertad y belleza efímera que representa, el tercer tatuaje es el kanji del destino, mi religión, mi creencia ante la vida donde todo parece estar escrito. El cuarto, relata mi parte infantil, ilustrando al fuel amigo de la sirenita de Disney, el pez Flounder. El 5 un diseño de un viejo amigo, una caligrafía que se lee similar a la pronunciación de mi nombre “Montse” y que tiene 3 kanjis mezclados con Hiragana cuyos significados son “sueño, energía y eternidad”. El nuevo es un símbolo a mi vida y mi momento actual ¿que significa?pues veamos… trataré de resumirlo. Antes de nada decir que un tatuaje ha de ser algo muy personal, es una ilustración que vas a ver el resto de tu vida y que ha de decirte algo, te ha de recordar el porqué lo hiciste y qué cosas señalas y por qué tienen ese significado para ti, tal como para querer perpetuarlo en la piel. Hace 4 años que vivo en Barcelona, el 1 de Marzo fue mi Aniversario Barcelonés, y son muchas las cosas que me trajeron aquí y otros muchos los motivos por los cuales sigo.El tatuaje relata varios detalles: Esta la figura de una fémina, que es la representación de mi misma. En su mano, lleva una flor, la flor es la representación de alguien muy especial para mi y que ya no está entre nosotros, mi madrina Consuelo, mi ángel de la guarda.Yo, estoy sentada en una manzana ¿por qué? Pues porque es un icono que me ha seguido en muchas de las etapas de mi vida, todo empezó con un iPod touch que me llevo a twitter, de ahí al diseño gráfico, al mac… a mi futuro. Y entrelazado, hay una guitarra eléctrica, una simulación de mi Stevi, que me recuerda lo presente que está la música en mi, y que no debo abandonarla. Las cuerdas rotas, rodean todo el dibujo, para llenar de música todo el significado. Alrededor de el, encontramos piezas de puzzle, que es lo que hace que todo encaje, hay notas musicales y además, una llave antigua y un candado, que hace referencia a las puertas que quedan por abrir y descubrir.Es un breve resumen de todo lo que significa para mi, el recuerdo, el significado, sus colores, el porqué de todo, y el como he llegado a conseguirlo. Y con ésto doy fin al post, si os apetece escuchar el podcast, dura casi 40 minutos y os cuento el tema del dolor, y el significado de los tatuajes algo mas detallado.

7 EQUITY SERIES | MINDSET For the Next 7 weeks we are bringing on an expert in each of the 7 equities. This week we brought back one of our first guests, Mike Diamond. Mike Diamond is a Television Personality, Director, Life Coach, and Interventionist. Known for his work on the hit TV shows NY Ink and Bondi Ink Tattoo Crew, which is currently nominated for a Logie Award for Best Reality Series. Originally from Perth, Western Australia, Mike got off to a bit of a rough start. Battling undiagnosed dyslexia, he started using drugs and alcohol at age 12. At age 16, he was expelled for Aquinas College and finished at Melville H.S. Immediately after graduation, Mike moved to Sydney and enrolled at the Actors Center. He got a job at a local clothing store which, unbeknownst to him at the time, would change his life forever. Lady Luck was on Mike’s side when a customer at the store handed him a Green Card Lottery ticket. Mike won a green card in 1997 and made the move to Miami. Shortly after his arrival, Mike landed a role on the CBS sitcom, Grapevine from Director David Frankel. After Grapevine, Mike moved to NYC, where he worked on various projects including as a guest star on Sex and the City. Mike wrote, created and starred in a VH1 pilot with former STP and Velvet Revolver front man, Scott Weiland. Splitting his time between NYC, Miami and Los Angeles, Mike had regular gigs performing stand up at Caroline’s on Broadway and The Comedy Store. Mike was properly introduced into the tattoo world when he appeared on Miami Ink. He later became the store manager for his good friend, Ami James, at Wooster St and starred on Season 3 of NY Ink. Mike then headed back to his hometown where he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in Bondi Ink Tattoo Crew, based on Bondi Beach. Although Mike has had plenty of “highs” in his life, he has also had his “low” moments along the way. Mike has battled cocaine and alcohol addiction for the majority of his life. The defining moment came at the height of his career while shooting a TV show for VH1. To the outside world, Mike looked like he was living the dream but on the inside, Mike was spiritually bankrupt and miserable. He realized that if he didn’t turn his life around, he was going to die. April 16, 2006 was the day Mike Diamond got sober. Since then, Mike has literally helped hundreds of people on the road to recovery. He is on beck and call to all his clients and friends, helping them through their life problems and battles with addiction. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/projectmindset/support

Ana tells us what life is like as a female tattoo artist. After being initially inspired by Miami Ink, tattooing has grown into something she loves and that allows her to connect with people. But it's not easy! We also discuss success, finding yourself, and why she likes to ask people the question "Where would you go if you had five teleports?" For more information about the How To Be Human project visit the website at http://howtobehuman.co This podcast is brought to you in collaboration with Radio Terminal. Special thanks: Huge thanks to Andi Koglot for composing and editing the jingle. Also Dejvid Knežević who's incredible design is on the podcast

Steve Cooper talks with drummer Phil Varone. Phil is a founding and former member of the band Saigon Kick from 1988–1996 and from 2012–2015. While out of Saigon Kick for several years, some of which Saigon Kick wasn't active, he played for Prunella Scales, Skid Row, and Vince Neil. When he left the music business in 2004 he decided to pursue a career in acting and stand up comedy. He appeared as a celebrity customer in an episode of Miami Ink, in which he got a tattoo of his son's name. He also appeared in episodes of the Showtime series Californication, and the CBS series Numbers and appeared the E! program Inside Celebrity Rehabs, the NBC game show Identity, in which he was correctly matched to his identity as a rock and roll drummer, and on an episode of Celebrity Ghost Stories on the BIO Channel. He also appeared in an Asian Nokia TV commercial. He has participated in Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew and appeared on episodes of Oprah,The Tyra Banks Show and the Today show. Years ago he was a Playgirl centerfold and in April 2013 Un-Philtered: Real Life On and Off the Rock'n'Roll Tour Bus, a tell-all memoir of his days on the road, was published by Riverdale Ave Books.

There are only a couple episodes I think are relatively uninspired and this is one of them. Why didn't I title this episode starchy wad? Anyway, I'm not crazy about the first half of this episode. I have some barely informed opinions about food science, some of which I stand by, some of which I don't, especially in relation to my current dietary restrictions. Time makes fools of us all! The song is from a little EP that I did, one of the first things I recorded while living in Portland and I'm a big fan. The second bit is probably going age really poorly and might be a little hard to follow. My wife at the time was watching a whole lot of Miami Ink and L.A. Ink, which I think is more or less bunko, even by the standards of reality TV. And I'll watch some reality TV, as long as it contains treasure hunting of some kind. But these shows bugged me with it's thuggish attitude and obnoxious characters. Further, the rotating cast of people looking to get tattoos were selected based on how sentimental and tear jerky their ideas were. So, I threw together a bunch of characters into a sort of beerslam: Behehehndrehndehendehenen Ink. Most of the shop characters don't appear again, probably because I felt uncomfortable about doing foreign accents. I did, however, draw a picture of Mutaro that is terrifying.

This is our first attempt at incorporating listener feedback in our programme, and one of the lessons that we learned is to ask just one question per episode. The discussions became too long, thus, we had to split this episode into two parts.Majority of Part 1 is about the Twilight DVD and the New Moon Casting Rumours. Part 2 contains our 2008 Year In Review.For Part 1, once again, we'd just like to say that we love Edi Gathegi and all the jokes in this episode were made in the spirit of fun speculation. They weren't meant to be offensive in any way.And with that, we present Episode 10 Part 1! Enjoy!SHOW NOTES | Danag: The Filipino Twilight Saga PodcastEpisode 10 Part 1 - What Do You Mean Edward Can't Have A Jamaican Accent, Man?In which:- "Charlie" comes back- We discuss the latest New Moon casting rumours- We try to figure out The Curious Case of Friedman and Wachsberger- We discuss what we want to see in the Twilight DVD- Everyone, and we mean everyone, auditions for the role of EdwardRunning Time: 1 hour 1 minuteRecording Date: 24 January 2009This week’s panel: Daene, Mabelle, Clair de Lune, MinamiLinks and Notes:Twilight Soundtrack Turns Gold!Stephenie Meyer is the Bestselling Author of 2008The Hollywood Reporter interviews Summit Entertainment's Friedman and Wachsberger Taylor is Back! - Statements from Stephenie Meyer and Chris Weitz | 26 Pounds and CountingVanessa Hudgens - IMDB page | "You Are The Music In Me" music video from High School Musical 2 | Ashley Greene didn't know about the rumours, but she said she'll be glad to have Vanessa join the cast | MTV reports that Ashley said that Vanessa did audition | Vanessa's rep doesn't know about any audition | Entertainment Weekly said no audition happened | Access Hollywood said their sources at Summit said Vanessa is up for the role | Zac is Done, RPattz is in!

You know, when they finish filming for the day, sometimes they go to one of the cast's trailer to just hang out, play instruments and sing. I think it will be interesting to watch them perform music.Sheri: Probably the auditions. It would be nice to see the first time Kristen and Rob kissed. And also for us to have a glimpse of those who auditioned for Edward's role.Anna Nicolette: The "Lion and the Lamb" part wherein Esme was the one to utter the quote not Edward. The delivery would've been more fitting rather than just being blurted out by Edward.Alex Jo: I wish it also have an audio commentary by the author of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer. And I wish that it has lyrics of "Bella's Lullaby". And I also wished that the cover has an autograph by Miss Stephenie Meyer.Riyah: Maybe most of the fans would also like the BLOOPERS portion while making the movie to be included in the DVD as well. And also for me specially, I'd prefer if they include the video where Rob pattinson audition for the role of Edward.Jacq/Amala: I know this sounds crazy but I would have wanted to have the DVDs signed by the cast. ahaha Well, aside from that, I would want them to at least have an exclusive interview of the cast and everybody behind the movie. More behind the scenes maybe...Rome: A Blooper or Gag Reel, More BTS footage: the ones shown in Rome and Madrid comes to mind, hope it's included in the 7-part docuPrezeuz: i really want to see how the stars auditioned for the roles.. haha!Melissa: For the Twilight DVD, it would be nice to include a feature on the Rome Film Festival when Twilight debut the 8-minute clip. It would be a blast to hear those Twilighters screaming, maybe even see our very own Amala Thea, our official TCP correspondent from Rome. Also, maybe clips from the LA movie premiere and other premieres from other parts of the globe (Madrid, Italy, etc.) and just basically capture the craziness and the cast/director's reactions to it.Kai: I'm not really sure if there's a blooper reel on the DVD ( -- is there?) If there's none, then, I'd like that. Mainly because I would like to see Rob and Kristen loosen up a bit, you know? I think fans would like to see them out of their "Why so serious face/s". ;)) I also would like to see alternate endings / cuts or whatnot. You know, the same scene but from a different angle or camera shot or clip. It'll be interesting to see what shots were not used and could be used for that scene and compare it.Liam: Ge, Xin, Rome, Echo, and I were talking about the Tagalog translation of Twilight lines. As what Rome posted in the Tagalugin Mo thread, it's quite interesting to see a Tagalog dubbed Bella-Edward Kissing Scene. Plus, I think it should be dubbed by 2 of the most promising members of the TCP Forum. It will be totally cool (and hilarious hehehe) to have that in the DVD.Elizabeth: The Audition. (not sure if this is part of the documentary: "The Adventure Begins: The Journey from Page to Screen", which is among the special features) I would want to see how the actors convince the Producers, Meyer and everyone that they are good for the role. plus, i kinda think that they try on different roles before 'landing' on their final role. I think it's fun...seeing another actor play somebody's role...Miami Ink - Official Website | About Ami JamesMusic Used This Week:Opening Credits - Immortalize Me by SalientIntro Spiel - Excerpt from Charlie's Angels Theme (2000) by Apollo 440 | Buy AlbumSegment Transitions - Excerpts from Dinner With His Family by Carter Burwell and I Would Be The Meal by Carter Burwell from Twilight: The Score | Buy AlbumEnd Credits - Excerpt from Cold Ground by Mark Seliger's Rusty Truck | Buy AlbumEpisode Edited by: Clair de LuneDanag Logo Artwork: Paul MendozaThank You: Rome, Echo, and all the listeners who sent in their answers for this episode's questionsIf you want to participate in our discussions or if you have topic suggestions, comments, and questions, please send them to:twilightcoven(at)gmail(dot)comFor the latest news in the Twilight Saga, visit our blog:twilightcovenph.blogspot.com

In an online interview from afar in the U.S., my guest will be calling from London, keyboardist Oli Silk is the UK's Smooth Jazz Ambassador! He began writing and recording music as part of the jazz-funk duo ‘Sugar and Silk' in the late 1990s. The pair released 2 albums to much European acclaim and this grabbed the attention of Trippin'N'Rhythm Records to whom Oli has been signed ever since. He has produced 6 hit albums, Oli's songs have enjoyed huge success on radio in the USA over the last 15 years. Oli remains one of the most dynamic and energetic keyboardists in the genre and his unique mix of jazzy instrumentals, funky vocal cuts, and downright old skool keytar and vocoder give his live shows that real wow factor and have earned him a loyal and dedicated fanbase! Oli has toured his music extensively across the globe, from Mozambique to Australia, Spain to Dubai, Lithuania to LA. You can also regularly find Oli as a featured artist on the prestigious Dave Koz Cruise.

His credentials as a musical director are also far-reaching, most notably for 4 years at the Dubai International Jazz Festival - overseeing some 30+ artists on the Jazz Garden Stage.
