Operation I AM A SEAGULL: Update 5

My fifth video update is my reaction to getting an email which read, "Dear Dani, the image of your Nina from The Sea Gull will be forever seared into my mind." Feeling incredibly moved by those encouraging words, I felt inspired and compelled to come and share what's been going on with The Sea Gull... Watch here!

Coolest Family Ever...

Dani Baum — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 16:29:06 +0000

Coolest family ever... Meet The Chekhov's... Don't know about you, but I feel like I would have fit right in...

And here's Mr. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov himself... My soul mate... What a babe...

If you've never read The Seagull, Three Sisters, or Uncle Vanya... You should get on that!

As for me, I have to get on with reading The Cherry Orchard... Book club, anyone? ;)

Just call me... Cookie Monster :)

Dani Baum — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 02:53:27 +0000

I spent all day baking cookies for our awesome KickStarter backers! We offered one special "Backer Package" where if you backed our project, RINGMASTER, I would bake you cookies and send them to you... Here they are...

My father tried some and said they were better than Levain's... I was like, "Ummmmm that's a VERY BOLD statement but thank you!" I hope our backers really enjoy them.

As for me, I feel good just knowing I am keeping the postal service alive, one package at a time... After all, what's better than real mail?? ;)

Much love... Dani xx
