Kevin and Canman discuss briefly what they’ve been up to, and AVENGERS INFINITY WAR!

Much, Much, More

What’s Chad been up to?

Well, quite a bit really. I’m very excited to be part of an upcoming feature film. I’m the “Local Special FX Supervisor” for “The Caregivers”.

Enjoy the teaser trailer

As per usual, I’ve been very busy.

This year more so than normal. Here’s some highlights.

I was in the show “Peter and the Starcatcher’s” at Giving Tree Theater.

I Emceed the SaPaDaPaSo St Patrick’s Day Parade.

I played the role of a TV reporter in the movie “Amelia 2.0” which was released earlier this year.

I have been building things like crazy. This year I’ve built, a pergola hammock stand out of an old wooden swing-set, a very large deck made of pallets, a farmhouse truss table and 2 benches, a stand for an electronic dart board, a tiki cooler box on wheels, and I re-upholstered and painted a row of movie theater seats, and installed them in my basement theater ( which I also built and installed the movie screen for)… I also rehabbed a few old plastic chairs with a fresh coat of paint, and built a really cool log rack for my firepit, and I rehabbed and painted a couple metal flamingo sculptures… (phew)

We did a bit of traveling this year, I’ve been to Hot Springs, Arkansas twice this year. First by plane, then drove back with the family in early August.

Then the Marching Band season started. Our middle child plays trombone, and we’ve been at every one of her performances.

Anyway… Thanks for visiting. I hope to record at least one more episode this year. Just not sure when.

keep in touch- Canman.

12715663_10153641663907771_5709420924473220798_n Howdy… It’s been a while. We really have not had much time lately to record an episode. Often one of us is out of town, acting in a play, or just too busy with life to get together to record an episode. Things really have been going pretty well…. all things considered.

My hope is to record a few new episodes soon. Hopefully the stars will align and permit us to get together to record.

Until then… remember… Life is good.

I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Four Star Fate for allowing me to be Santa in their music video “The Season”. It was a ton of fun!

VERY IMPORTANT NEWS- If you are planning on attending the Halloween Ball where I’m doing the Haunted House, The Pork Tornadoes and Alisabeth Von Presley are performing….

THE TICKETS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ONLINE! THERE WILL BE NO TICKETS SOLD AT THE DOOR.

Sorry for shouting. I wanted everyone to see that.

The proceeds are going to benefit Habitat for Humanity.

You can only purchase them HERE–

Mike Schulte – One of the organizers for the event posted this on Facebook to describe the event in detail… Un-edited:

In case you haven’t seen it floating around on Facebook yet, here’s the low down. I love Halloween. Chances are that you love it too. I have always had a love affair with every part of this season. The cooling weather, the leaves changing, the scary movies, dressing up on Halloween night, etc.

Ever since I can remember, I have always loved watching movies and tv shows having to do with Halloween. Shows like Roseanne and movies like Hocus Pocus always seem to have some sort of amazing, adult-oriented Halloween party going on and it always looked like a blast!

For the last 8+ years, I have played in bars on Halloween weekend, hoping to be a part of some epic Halloween evening like I saw in the movies and on tv. While every year has been a great time, it has never lived up to my expectations. The same old bar scene just doesn’t do it for me and I know that a lot of you feel the same way. Disorganization, lack-luster costume contests, no decorations, half the people not in costume, etc.

This year, I decided to take things into my own hands. After months of planning and brainstorming, it is finally a reality! The Halloween that you and I have always dreamed of is here and it will be amazing!

I have rented out the Doubletree ballroom in downtown Cedar Rapids on Saturday, October 31st and am planning the biggest, baddest and best Halloween party anywhere in Iowa!

We will have live music by my band, The Pork Tornadoes along with a special Halloween-themed set featuring the amazingly-talented Alisabeth Von Presley and some other surprises. Full production and light show by our buddy Doug Johnson at RGS Productions

The atmosphere in the ballroom with be one of kind with Unique Events Of Iowa doing the decorating.

Chad Canfield of The Canman Show Studio, the Halloween mastermind behind Frightmare Forest, will by putting up an amazing haunted house display that guests will walk thru to get into the event. Circle of Ash Haunted Attraction is unfortunately not open this year and they are graciously letting us use much of their props and personnel to make this happen.

There will be Photo Booth station set up to capture your amazing costumes before the event, not to mention photographers walking around the event taking candid shots throughout the evening. These will all be available for free download.

$500- one of the biggest costume contest grand prizes around offered to the best costume!

Our friends at Need Pizzeria have teamed up with us to offer discounts before AND after the event. 15% off your tab if you dine in before the party. Then they will be hosting the official after-hours party. $1 off slices and drinks for everyone that attended the party.

The Doubletree by Hilton Cedar Rapids Convention Complex is offering nearly 25% off of hotel rooms that night for our party. $89 rooms is a steal!

Tickets are $20 and need to be purchased online at https://tikly.co/events/894 and are NOT sold at the door. Proceeds will be going to Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity.
I am taking a big gamble by putting on this event because of the costs associated. If we don’t get a particular amount of people to attend, I will definitely be owing some money! I was willing to take this risk though because I have faith that this will be an amazing success. Cedar Rapids is yearning for new, fun things to do. This will be the best Halloween you have ever had and we plan on making it an annual event. Please consider coming and at worst, SHARE/SHARE/SHARE this event to all your friends. It would mean the world to me. Looking forward to seeing you on Halloween night!

Special thanks to Kelli Sutterman and Hoopla for being my partner in planning all of this.Molly Schulte for putting up with my crazy ideas. Trom Schulte and Community 1st Credit Union for being our main presenting sponsor. And of course Cedar Rapids Area Association of REALTORS®, Mindye Pickerell and Fleck Sales, Von Presley Studios as our other sponsors. Mike Staebell, the genius behind all of our marketing materials and all around swell guy! https://www.facebook.com/events/950762351654231/
