It was an amazing show and I am so happy and so lucky to have been a part of it.

Thanks also to everyone who came out to see us.

If you didn’t see it, Angela Gomez wrote an wonderful review at Socal.com. I think she did a great job capturing the essence of the show.

Now you can watch “Project: Life” on YouTube. (second half)

As the narrator, I’m obviously biased but I think you’ll love it. If you don’t want to commit a whole fifteen minutes without knowing what you are getting into, here’s the sixty-second trailer.
