Snuggle Up With Me
Just for nostalgia I have added this page. Didn't we have fun? You see back , way back, way back in 1996, for a good two years, we got together in our little town and put on a show. It was my idea.
The show started after I had taken a creative writing class at Northeastern. Seems everytime we had a subject to write about, I somehow turned it into a children's story. That's when my first character, Willy, was born. Willy needed an audience. She made me laugh. Willy and I have had some great times together, like starting the TV show.
Anyway, without sounding more crazy, I gathered up a dependable and creative team and started producing Snuggle Up With Me. Now being the oldest of 5, and having a good 18 years between the youngest and myself, it was no difficult feat filling that little studio with kiddos. And the town was very supportive, for a credit at the end of the show, I'd get free pizza to feed the crew and talent- that's also how we got the studio decor, a credit here a credit there, people loved the publicity and we loved the free stuff.
Our studio resembled a bedroom and the kids would come decked out in their PJ's carrying stuffed animals. I'd sit on a rocking chair, in my big furry bear PJs and read to them a story that I had written, usually with Willy as the main character. I guess they were pretty pedantic, looking back, but it was fun discussing the lesson afterward. Then we'd all pretend to be asleep and black out. Occassionally we have a cartoon feature to put in, or some wacky song, or a guest that we could question. It was all in good fun and we have some awesome footage of booger pickers!
I've got all the tapes. I'd love to put them on DVD and add bits to this site. Maybe some of the old gang knows how...hint hint.
Anyway, I still want to thank everyone involved in the show. Thanks for your time, thanks for making wonderful memories! Keep in touch!!!
