Ned Donovan - Ithaca ‘12

Hey everyone,

I know it’s been a long time since we updated with what’s going on with the vampires.  Well now we’re back.  Max, Mitchell, and I have been stalking Graham and Charlie since they attacked us to maybe get an idea of what they’re up to.  We still have no idea, but we had to step in when we saw them mark another target.  Planning has begun on our next move.  We’re going to continue to follow them and see if we can find their lair.  If we can do that, maybe, just maybe, we can figure out what they’re doing here in Ithaca.  I don’t want to say too much, however, because the vamps may be tuned in to this blog as well.  We can’t give up all our moves.

We’ve been pretty successful in getting the message out, getting over 500 hits to our first video.  We need to do more.  Please forward this on to anyone you know who may be in danger from vampires (or anyone who just finds this sort of thing cool).  Watch this next video here on YouTube and send it to all your friends!  Remember, a 5-star rating means that you’ve heard the message about vampires, and a comment means you’re going to join in standing against them!

Please be warned, this post will be profane.  If you do not enjoy that kind of language, do not keep reading.  Much of the profanity will be quotes.

Hey everyone,

I am posting this to educate some members of the Portland community to a situation that is arising that I have been angry about all day.  I don’t know what else I can do but try to help and get the word out.

So there is a man in this nation.  A man who makes me boil with hate with every fiber of my being.  A man named Fred Phelps.  He is a reverend who associates himself with the Westboro Baptist Church.  Now this particular Baptist church (which is not to say all of them) is home to a lot of hate, and has caused a lot of pain and anguish for various families and organizations.  They are the owners of the GodHatesFags.com, and as of February 20th, 2010 they have brought their fight into my life.

How is it that they have entered my life?  Well, on February 20th, 2010 they had a press release on said website, which shall no longer be stated by name or linked to in this post.

Hey everyone,

This is just a quick note to let you know that the vampire message has gotten out just a little farther.  SciFinal.com has now listed us on their website as an official web series.  You can see the listing at www.scifinal.com/the-hunted-expulsion.

They also recently interviewed Bob Chapin and you can read that interview here. We’re working very hard to get the word out, and this weekend Max and I are going to be confronting the vampires again.  We’ll put the video up as soon as possible!

All my best to everyone, and stay safe from the vamps!

Hey everyone,

So Mr. Bob Chapin (the head slayer in charge of The Hunted out in Los Angeles) has decided that our commitment to slaying vampires is strong.  As a reward he has granted us an official affiliate slot on the official “The Hunted” website.  That’s right folks, we’re in the big leagues now.  You can check out our affiliate section at www.thehunted.tv and then click “episodes” and then scroll down to “The Hunted - Expulsion”.  We have a whole page up.  It will be updated frequently with new slayers and vamps as we come across them, as well as an organized place to get all the episodes.  Speaking of which.  Max, Mitchell, and I have been tailing the two who attacked us in the first place.  We’re not sure yet but we think we may have found their next target.  We’re going to step in before they can make their move, and we’ll be sure to film it for you when they do.  Look for it in the next few days!  Again you can check us out at www.thehunted.tv under episodes and poke around our site.  It’s up and coming but over the next few weeks there should be many updates!

All my best to everyone, and keep your guard up!

Hey everyone,

Since my encounter with the vampires (see The Hunted: Expulsion) I have been unbelievably busy.  We’ve begun mask work in movement class with Norm Johnson and we’re building our own masks this week.  This is an incredible experience, but very time consuming and frustrating.  My mask is almost done, I’m on to the painting stage, and hopefully it turns out well.  Other classes are going well, this is the first time in my college career where all my classes seem to be working in synergy, and things are moving a little easier than they have in the past.

We’ve begun rehearsals for Much Ado About Nothing, and while we’re still in the table read stage, the cast just seems amazing.  I can’t wait to get going.  Everyone seems to work well together (the cast is full of the people I spend my time with anyways) and the reading is hilarious.  It’s very easy to see everyone in their roles, and working with Greg is great.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am cast as the Messenger (and I’m understudying the Friar), but I was given the extra role of Lord in Act 5, and I will be Fight Choreographing for the show.
