From Ithaca with Love

[aterimperator]

hmmm... I go to Cornell... I never heard about your play (but probably wouldn't have gone anyway (poor college student))

It's weird to see ithaca on youtube... I think I'll go search for more ithaca videos

(I found this one by nalts linking, and then i generally take a sampling of anyone who produces a video i like to see if i like all their videos or just one)

[Xelanderthomas]

I have a series of videos I did while I was there. You should go to the Kitchen theatre. They have student rates. Also you can usher for a night and see the play for free. The do really good stuff. Check them out.

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

I dont like your tast of music- otherwise a great tuber.

[Xelanderthomas]

Well, it's nice to know that even people who don't know great music when they hear it still like my videos...peace ;-)

[SmallPressFan]

I'm glad to see you made it safely to the states. Be well, stay warm, and break a leg (not literally, of course); I'm sure both shows will be very successful!

[elizard]

I only have one question. You went to Renetto's hotel at night and then the next shot it was day. A lot of blank time there. It there something we should know about?

;-]

[Xelanderthomas]

Hey we didn't shoot the tickle fight.

[Bballer0905]

tickle fight..?

[puzz912]

good luck with your play! :) i will spread the word to ithaca people i know. take care! :)

[Xelanderthomas]

Wow, you know people are here. Great. That would be very cool. I would love it if a You Tube connection showed up there.

[jazzblowin]

Great video. I love that you showed Ithac. The music is good, love the cat playing sax...the transporting from London to New York...it's all great stuff.

[2of6Solutions]

I love it when you have guest stars in your videos Alex...Renetto Steve & Rachel the guy playing in the station was great. Thanks for the video Alex....

[bowhammer2007]

great video, you got a really british sense of humour.... didnt think you'd stoop that low to meet renetto though ;-) that town looks amazing....

[Xelanderthomas]

I know Renetto is a favorite to hate, but I have to tell you, he's not bad guy at all. We had a great talk. It was fun.

[Sonnie55]

I sensed that about him. Good to hear this from you, because you would be the last person I would think is easily impressed. haha

[Xelanderthomas]

You have write me an email explaining how my sense of humour is british. It's cool, I just am not aware of how. May it's no coincidence that I'm living in London now, huh?

[Sonnie55]

"May it's no coincidence that I'm . . ." May sha, talking like dat will make me tink you cajun. Ha! (a little humorous typo/whatever sarcasm for ya! ^_~

[WileyCoyote69]

Why wouldn't he meet Renetto? The guy is just a normal dude. The only times when he seems annoying is when he forgets that. Then he needs a nice bit of sarcasm lobbed at him and the world seems right again. :lol

[Xelanderthomas]

Hey, meeting someone in flesh is different than on here. Actually when we parted company I had to remind myself that I didn't actaully know the guy. That we had just met cause I felt like knew him. =strange

[dittotl]

Great video as usual! mr. thomas where did you get that awesome music please if you find the time, i know its highly likely you'll be busy, but if you can could you please tell me who does sings that song.

[Xelanderthomas]

Skye Edwards. She just calls herself SKYE. She used to be in the group (a trio) called Morcheeba. Big overseas almost unheard of in the States...don't get it. Now she is solo and her frist CD is called Mind How You Go - SKYE

[jmekai]

Good luck with your play, thanks for the peek into your life. Love that song at the end!

[Zenithstrife]

Hi Xelanderthomas,

Big fan of your videos man. Although i would like to add one piece of constructive criticism , I would shorten the title sequence to 10-15 seconds ? , just a suggestion. But nothing else to say but keep up the good work mate.

Regards,

-ZenithStrife

P.S Very nice music , can you tell me the track name please ?

[Xelanderthomas]

The title has been shortend. So next video will be different. The music is by SKYE.

[blackflower75]

Cool sax player...wicked laugh...and lush music at the end ! ( also did you say that you get penalised for being in a union/equity? actors need more work ,not less...that sucks!!)All the best for the play !

[chaguanas]

Yes, the player was lights out...you don't expect to hear such refreshing music just walking down the street. Thanks for the heads up on Yellowman, Xe, must look it up, if only in print.

[Xelanderthomas]

Yeah, an Equity actor can't accept work in a non-Equity show. The same thing with SAG (screen actors guild) but they don't do anything to assure or help you get union work so it's a pain, but it's good when you get the gig and you're gurantee certain wages and conditions.

[vitalfinds]

That was pretty weird to switch countries during the video. It seems like everyone is going everywhere these days.

[SymphonieFantastique]

That was really interesting, thanks for sharing!

[Ravensinger]

Break a leg!!! Take Five...ALRIGHT!!! Wish I could see your play but I'm sure you will be fabulous. Wow...look at that snow! Let us know how rehearsals go.

[Randomambusher]

Nice to get a little slice of life. =D

[bwhahrhr]

Good luck on your acting Xelanderthomas! And dont forget youtube ;-)

On a site note: Your laugh always cheers me up

[bomb69]

Nice one! Good luck with the play.

[Jigster2007]

Hey Xelanderthomas, great vid, and "Break a leg".

[chuckbutt]

Good luck with the play. Looking forward to your next vblog installment!

[iz1012]

Have fun man.

[Akraix18]

Haha, you and renetto hanging out together...that's just crazy. What is the name of the song you played at the end? Have fun in Ithaca :) Adios

[Xelanderthomas]

"Love Show" by Skye.

[mtamorphis]

Thanks for letting us see Ithaca, NY..good luck!

[ablheza]

Go for the return and conquer of Ithaca, CyberUlises!!

[Forrest40PF]

Fantastic video, Xelander. You're getting better with that editing software! I liked your choice of music! Looks like you and Renetto had fun hanging out. Best of luck with the plays and keep up the great work. -Forrest

[martybird57]

Really enjoyed the peak at Ithaca.

Hope your rehearsals go well.

[trhwly]

Good thing you're not in SAG or you wouldn't be able to appear in your videos, or if you did you would have to pay yourself scale. "Break a leg"

[tijuanagringo]

hey Xelander I've been meaning to tell you your introductory ID name title feels too long it always tempts me to just click off but maybe that's good if only the people who really want to see you put up with it yeah I know having a "specially unique name-tag title" is de rigeur however it's spelled but somehow I think you are worth more than the ordinary and I very firmly believe brevity is the soul of. to wit. maybe just your one name alone X

[BruceMcF]

I was gonna say make it longer to keep the riff raff out!

Maybe speed up the scroll a tad and cut the first two bars of string bass intro

[Xelanderthomas]

Yeah, I have the other short one for my satiric stuff. But I'll shorten this. If I can't speed up the scroll I'll do something different. I agree, though I like the music. thanks

[tijuanagringo]

yeah the music is pretty cool

[LavonRoss]

Good luck in New York,buddy!
