Fort               Collins,               Colorado               offers               those               who               travel               there               many               things               to               do,               including               college               football               activities               like               tailgating               or               taking               in               the               Old               Town               atmosphere.

Fort               Collins               is               located               off               Interstate               25               between               Denver,               Colorado               and               Cheyenne,               Wyoming,               so               travel               to               this               city               is               rather               convenient               en               route               to               football               tailgating               and               Old               Town.

This               travel               article               will               discuss               Old               Town               Fort               Collins               and               Colorado               State               Rams               football               tailgating.

Sports-themed               journeys               are               one               of               the               most               popular               activities               in               this               nation,               especially               in               the               fall               when               fans               of               college               gridiron               play               make               a               pilgrimage               to               their               favorite               team's               home               or               visiting               field               to               support               them.

But               before               the               game,               the               ritual               of               tailgating               across               this               country               outside               of               the               nation's               sports               cathedrals               is               an               important               aspect               of               the               football               game               experience,               as               friends               travel               from               near               and               far               to               get               together               to               hang               out               and               chow               down               on               some               great-tasting               food,               anticipating               that               their               team               is               going               to               come               out               the               victor               in               a               few               hours.
               Tailgating               with               the               CSU               Ram               Fans
               Unfortunately,               for               the               Colorado               State               Rams               (CSU),               hard               times               have               fallen               on               this               once               proud               Mountain               West               Conference               team               coached               by               Sonny               Lubick               (whom               the               Rams'               football               field               is               named               for).

After               many               successful               years               of               winning               records,               conference               championships,               and               bowl               appearances,               the               game               I               attended               via               travel               had               the               Rams               trying               not               to               go               beyond               the               371               days               without               winning               a               football               game,               losing               twelve               games               in               a               row               going               back               to               last               season.

The               streak               began               last               year               with               the               team               they               would               play               this               very               game               day,               the               Air               Force               Falcons,               who               hails               down               Interstate               25               in               Colorado               Springs.

The               pre-game               festivities               would               turn               out               to               be               one               of               the               strangest               October               days               in               Fort               Collins               for               us               tailgating               participants.
               Being               from               Wyoming,               I               wanted               to               talk               to               some               of               the               Colorado               State               Rams               fans               to               find               out               how               they               felt               about               the               struggles               of               their               team.

For               the               most               part,               they               do               admire               and               respect               Coach               Lubick,               but               feel               that               his               coaching               staff               has               been               more               the               cause               of               the               team's               bad               fortunes               than               the               players,               but               I               didn't               see               any               real               anger               or               bitterness               emanating               from               them               like               I've               heard               from               other               fans               whose               teams               don't               live               up               to               their               expectations.

As               for               the               team               they               see               as               their               biggest               rivals,               well,               that               honor               goes               to               the               state's               largest               college,               the               University               of               Colorado               at               Boulder               Buffaloes               (CU),               which               is               about               an               hour               away               via               travel               by               automobile.

When               CSU               and               CU               slug               it               out               on               the               gridiron,               it's               before               very               large               crowds               at               INVESCO               Field               in               Denver,               mostly               the               home               of               the               NFL               Broncos.

The               Ram               tailgaters               remarked               in               a               way               that               I               could               tell               that               they               detested               CU               very               much,               but               the               team               from               my               home               state,               the               Wyoming               Cowboys               (UW),               are               a               close               second,               as               the               yearly               clashes               between               CSU               and               UW               are               known               as               "Border               Wars",               especially               in               football               and               basketball.

Air               Force               was               considered               the               second               (too)               or               third               biggest               rival               by               the               Colorado               State               Rams               partisans               in               Fort               Collins.
               A               light               and               cold               drizzle               came               over               the               city               as               we               began               feasting               on               some               yummy               beef               brisket,               barbeque               baked               beans,               potato               salad,               and               brownies               for               our               tailgating               meal.

In               another               tailgating               section,               I               could               hear               some               drum               banging               and               chanting,               so               I               went               to               the               other               tent               to               investigate               it               as               the               drizzle               was               starting               to               turn               into               a               heavier               rain               with               loud               thunder               claps               and               rampant               lightning.

I               found               four               Native               American               men               who               were               fans               of               the               hapless               Rams               banging               on               a               drum               and               chanting               really               loud.

Apparently,               and               as               I               found               out               later               after               talking               to               them,               they               were               performing               a               victory               ceremony               for               the               down-on-their-luck               team.

Some               of               the               people               under               the               tent               began               to               joke,               "We               got               rain               instead!"               The               chanters/drummers               laughed               at               this.

And               rain               did               we               get!

It's               very               rare               indeed               for               this               part               of               the               country               to               get               a               gully               washer               like               we               were               in               the               middle               of               October.

The               semi-grassy               grounds               outside               the               football               stadium               were               turning               into               mud               quickly,               and               the               temperature               was               falling               fast.
               Well               into               the               storm,               the               fans               found               out               that               a               power               outage               in               parts               of               the               football               stadium               due               to               lightning               would               delay               the               3:30               PM               start               of               the               football               game,               but               no               one               knew               for               how               long.

Many               fans               got               back               into               their               automobiles               to               travel               back               into               town               and               elsewhere,               not               coming               back.

It               would               be               almost               an               hour's               worth               of               delay               as               the               rains               and               lightning               finally               subsided,               and               for               the               CSU               Rams,               this               only               put               off               their               inevitable               torture               of               another               loss               as               the               temperature               grew               colder,               thanks               to               the               gusty               wind               that               followed               the               horrible               weather.
               The               Falcons               raced               to               a               28-7               halftime               lead.

In               the               second               half,               the               Colorado               State               Rams               played               better               as               the               sun               set               in               the               midst               of               a               hard               core               stance               of               fans               from               both               CSU               and               Air               Force               who               braved               the               cold               weather               only               to               see               the               home               team               go               down               45-21.

What               I               really               enjoyed               about               the               game               besides               the               action               on               a               really               beautiful               field               was               listening               to               the               percussion               play               of               CSU's               band,               which               happily               played               on               whenever               the               Rams               made               a               good               play               or               scored,               including               one               play               where               a               CSU               defender               picked               up               a               fumble               and               ran               48               yards               for               a               touchdown.
               I               guess               for               the               CSU               fans,               they               can               take               solace               in               the               old               adage               that               nothing               lasts               forever.

Some               day,               a               win               will               appear,               and               then               another.

But               win               or               lose,               the               sports               pilgrimages               of               football               tailgating               before               the               games               begin               will               go               on               and               on               in               Fort               Collins,               Colorado.

    As               their               fathers,               husbands,               brothers               and               sons               marched               off               to               join               the               Great               War,               the               women               of               the               world               stepped               up               to               take               their               places               in               agriculture,               industry,               and               in               running               their               cities               and               towns.

    It               had               always               been               so               when               war               came,               but               the               sheer               number               of               men               serving               in               this               war               was               unparalleled               in               history.

    And               the               unfolding               tragedy               would               take               its               toll               on               an               entire               generation               of               women.

    Before               the               war               began,               husbands,               brothers               and               fathers               worked               the               fields,               labored               in               factories,               or               staffed               the               offices               of               accounting               firms,               banks,               and               numerous               other               enterprises.

    Women               kept               house,               tended               small               vegetable               gardens,               and               raised               children.

    But               all               that               changed               when               a               total               of               65.5               million               men               marched               off               to               war.

    These               men               were               no               longer               at               home               to               milk               the               cows               or               plant               the               fields.

    Factories               and               offices               emptied.

    There               were               fewer               men               to               drive               the               trucks               and               trains,               or               to               manufacture               goods               or               even               desperately               needed               war               materials.
                   The               role               of               women               before               the               beginning               of               the               war               was               primarily               confined               to               their               duties               in               the               home,               in               their               churches,               and               in               schools.

    A               few               worked               as               seamstresses               or               waitresses,               but               by               and               large               work               outside               the               home               was               considered               inappropriate               and               opportunities               for               women               were               limited.

    But               as               more               and               more               men               went               off               to               war               it               became               obvious               that               women               needed               to               fill               those               empty               positions.
                   Women               took               over               every               job               they               could               manage.

    By               1916,               there               were               more               than               100,000               women               clerks               in               England.

    Another               750,000               British               women               held               men's               jobs               and               another               350,000               worked               in               specialized               jobs               created               by               the               war.

    A               specially               created               "Land               Army"               attracted               nearly               a               quarter               of               a               million               women               into               agricultural               work               by               the               end               of               the               war.
                   In               France               there               were               more               than               400,000               female               munitions               makers               and               over               700               women               clerks               worked               at               the               Bank               of               France               in               Paris.

    Women               found               employment               as               railway               workers               and               miners,               factory               workers               and               prison               guards,               and               in               every               imaginable               job               they               could               manage.

    Many               took               over               and               ran               their               family               farms               and               businesses.

    Millions               of               others               volunteered               as               nurses,               cooks               and               many               others               served               as               auxiliary               members               of               their               nation's               armed               forces,               freeing               men               for               battle               duties.

    And               the               women               knew               as               they               did               so               that               many               of               the               men               they               replaced               would               never               return.
                   The               press               made               much               of               the               fact               that               women               were               stepping               into               traditional               male               jobs.

    But               the               unfolding               tragedy               of               the               gallant               women               of               World               War               I               was               largely               ignored               as               newspapers               focused               on               the               war               itself               and               the               men               who               fought               it.
                   By               the               end               of               World               War               I,               a               total               of               nearly               65.5               million               men               were               involved               in               combat.

    Of               those,               more               than               12.5               million               were               killed               and               nearly               22               were               wounded.

    Civilian               deaths               were               estimated               at               nearly               four               million,               with               countless               others               injured.

    Added               to               that               number               were               the               nearly               50               million               people               who               died               during               the               Spanish               flu               outbreak               of               1918.
                   In               France,               there               were               more               than               630,000               war               widows               by               November               1918,               and               even               more               in               Germany.

    And               while               a               wife               with               two               or               more               children               enjoyed               generous               state               support,               if               her               husband               lost               his               life,               the               support               ended               and               she               was               forced               to               try               to               make               do               with               a               meager               pension.

    The               loss               of               their               husbands               drove               women               into               factories               by               the               thousands.

    Most               lacked               training               of               any               sort               and               were               forced               into               menial,               low-paying               work               just               to               survive.

    Others               turned               to               prostitution               in               order               to               support               their               families.
                   The               end               of               the               war               saw               millions               of               widows,               and               many               unmarried               women               were               left               without               the               prospect               of               finding               husbands.

    During               the               early               years               of               the               20th               century,               a               woman's               identity               was               generally               tied               to               that               of               her               husband,               and               for               these               women,               the               prospect               of               living               out               their               lives               as               spinsters,               with               its               accompanying               low               status,               was               a               very               real               possibility.

    And               more               than               ten               million               mothers               grieved               the               loss               of               their               sons.
                   The               tragedy               did               not               end               there.

    Many               of               the               men               who               survived               returned               home               as               invalids.

    Victims               of               mustard               gas               attacks               that               permanently               damaged               their               lungs,               amputees,               and               others               with               terrible               and               often               disfiguring               injuries               returned               home               to               be               cared               for               by               wives,               mothers               and               sisters,               many               of               whom               were               forced               to               work               full               time               jobs               in               addition               to               their               nursing               and               home               duties.


                   These               women               proved               their               extraordinary               strength               time               and               time               again,               both               during               and               after               the               war.

    They               survived,               raised               their               families,               and               worked               hard               to               overcome               the               turmoil               that               the               war               had               brought               into               their               lives.

    The               war               had               tested               them               and               changed               their               lives               forever.

    And               even               though               for               some               there               came               a               new               respect               for               their               strength               and               courage,               the               First               World               War               proved               to               be               a               woman's               tragedy.

    The               unemployment               insurance               rep               I               spoke               to               stated               I               did               not               have               enough               earnings               to               qualify.

    I               was               in               a               tough               spot.

    Even               my               roommates               were               violating               California               subletting               laws               when               they               learned               I               lost               my               job.

                   Now,               back               then,               cable               companies               ruled               television.

    Web               sites               had               not               really               become               the               interactive               cyber               dimension               they               are               now,               much               less               what               they               will               be               in               five               and               ten               years.

    Social               networking               sites               have               become               a               genre               all               their               own.
                   Before               Facebook,               Twitter,               or               any               of               the               current               message               distribution               tools               we               have               now,               to               get               a               message               into               the               mainstream               media,               one               had               to               go               through               the               arrogant               sales               reps               at               the               cable               company,               or               an               ad               agency               that               had               an               account               with               them,               whose               reps               were               just               as               arrogant.
                   I               imagined               a               :30               animated               TV               ad,               just               words,               conveying               a               Biblical               message,               with               a               specific               verse               or               two               as               its               theme,               using               humor               or               Godly               wisdom               to               connect               to               viewers,               appearing               on               commercial               breaks               throughout               the               cable               TV               and               free               broadcast               channels.
                   Having               worked               in               the               ad               industry,               I               knew               that               prices               fluctuated               per-spot               depending               on               how               much               time               had               been               sold,               in               relation               to               the               deadlines               for               programming               locks.

    Most               control               rooms               programmed               content               within               two-week               time               frames,               with               a               few               exceptions.

    ESPN,               which               ran               looped               programs               over               four-hours               increments,               operated               as               a               separate               venue               than               most               of               the               other               traffic.
                   The               original               idea               was               to               pre-pay               for               any               spots               that               went               unsold,               at               a               discount.
                   It               took               two               years               to               establish               the               rules               of               engagement.

    There               was               a               myth               among               protestant               churches               that               broadcasters               would               not               take               money               for               the               airing               of               Biblical               content.

    The               body               language               I               encountered               from               advertising               sales               managers               was,               abiding               by               FCC               regulations,               money               talks,               dispelling               the               myth.
                   As               for               public               service               announcements,               which               non-pay               network               affiliates               were               required               by               law               to               run               for               free,               there               was               a               filtering               system               designed               to               make               this               difficult               to               do.

    For               example,               the               Southern               California               Broadcasters               Association               had               its               own               membership               requirements,               and               to               get               a               PSA               submitted,               much               less               run,               on               any               California               network               affiliate,               one               had               to               get               an               ID               number               from               them.

    The               only               way               to               get               such               a               number               was               to               have               a               501               c3               tax               ID               number.
                   In               2003,               I               asked               the               pastor               of               the               church               I               attended               to               underwrite               this               process               with               the               church's               ID.

    Pastor               Rob               McCoy               wanted               to.

    But               the               board,               at               that               time,               stood               in               opposition,               primarily               over               a               separate               business               dispute               involving               one               of               the               board               members               whose               credit               card               processing               company               had               breached               its               contract               with               PrAir               Time.

    Instead               of               getting               the               church               into               a               potential               lawsuit,               the               pastor               chose               not               to               push               it               when               the               board               said               no.
                   I               forged               on,               learning               all               my               options,               determined               to               both               put               prayer               on               television,               and               thumb               by               nose               of               success               in               several               individual's               faces.

    The               staff               of               Santa               Monica,               California's               Metro               Church,               pastored               by               Steve               Snook,               including               the               pastor               who               married               my               wife               and               I,               expressed               such               jealousy               over               this,               that               they               openly               slandered               it.

    Ironically,               one               staff               member               who               was               also               trying               to               produce               TV               through               the               West               Los               Angeles               public               access               TV               station,               wanted               to               use               the               ads               in               his               shows.
                   Formatting               was               an               ongoing               nightmare,               unresolved               until               every               network               went               digital,               spearheaded               by               companies               like               DG               FastChannel,               with               whom               I               had               opened               an               account.
                   Tapes               were               replaced               by               video               uploads.

    Today,               Google               TV               offers               an               automated               template.
                   This               was               my               idea               in               2001,               for               church               leaders               to               take               up               offerings               to               underwrite               the               cost               of               the               ads,               and               have               them               run               during               such               major               commercial               events               as               the               Super               Bowl,               MLB               play               offs,               and               CBS'               March               Madness.
                   I               imagined               Greg               Gumbel's               script               having               him               read               off               the               teleprompter               in               New               York,               "Welcome               back               to               'PrAir               Time               at               The               Half',"               instead               of               Cingular/AT&T               At               The               Half,               showing               the               spending               power               of               the               Church,               using               television               as               a               venue               for               community               prayer.
                   PrAir               Time               was               born.

    Thirty-second               TV               ads               would               gain               the               curiosity,               but               never               the               respect               of               the               Church.
                   In               2001,               I               attended               a               church               in               Los               Angeles               that               had               poor               leadership.

    Conflict               over               spiritual               views               and               scriptural               interpretation               led               to               many               of               those               leaders               leaving               the               ministry.

    I               was               accused               of               not               loving               the               Church               enough.

    They               equated               any               objection               to               their               administrative               negligence               to               spiritual               rebellion.
                   I               loved               the               Church               more               than               words               could               say.

    It               was               these               arrogant,               mean-spirited               men               an               women               I               wasn't               crazy               about.
                   Single               men               are               targets               for               wrongdoing               and               inappropriate               behavior               in               the               Church,               no               matter               how               ridiculous               or               fictional               gossip               is.

    Good               Church               leaders               wait               out               the               storms               as               fellowships               gel,               and               refer               to               the               Word               when               necessary.

    God               is               very               good               at               being               God.

    When               men               try               to               evoke               His               authority               for               their               own               purposes,               it               blows               up               in               their               faces               when               they               will               does               not               match               His.
                   PrAir               Time               was               partially               born               out               of               my               personal               conflict               with               men               whose               political               relationships               with               the               Church               and               with               the               Hollywood               agent               system               proved               to               be               more               valuable               to               them               than               serving               Him.

    I               attended               a               Bible               study               in               Burbank,               California               with               a               group               of               movie               makers,               and               I               had               challenged               them               in               regards               to               the               technical               and               theological               standards               that               were               being               used.

    This               offended               them,               for               as               far               as               they               were               concerned,               the               political               relationships               between               their               agents               and               business               affiliates               were               of               greater               priority               than               the               quality               of               products               they               were               making.
                   Among               those               who               attended               this               private               Bible               study               were               freelance               editor               Ron               Romberger,               producer-screenwriter               and               editorialist               Rick               Bonn,               professor               Thom               Parham               of               Azusa               University,               actor-reality               show               editor               and               Star               Wars               groupie               Marc               Elmer,               producer               Coleman               Luck               III,               whose               father               had               produced               The               Equalizer,               and               a               couple               other               post               production               techs               whose               quest               for               work               was               running               on               fumes.

    I               got               along               better               with               the               non-entertainment               attendees.
                   The               conflict               really               arose               from               two               incidents.

    Some               Christian               leaders               hold               themselves               above               accountability,               and               in               their               social-political               environment,               one               must               'earn'               the               right               to               address               their               administrative               flaws.

    If               there               is               an               elephant               in               the               room,               one               must               first               ask               permission               to               merely               acknowledge               it               or               face               rejection.
                   I               was               at               that               time,               a               bachelor               attending,               or               trying               to               attend,               Christian               Assembly               church               in               Eagle               Rock.

    Talk               about               arrogant.

    The               church               lives               on               the               success               of               musician               Tommy               Walker.

    The               pastor               in               charge               of               the               Singles               ministry               was               named               Jim               Denison.

    I               had               written               a               book               that               challenged               Christian               artists               to               raise               the               standard               of               their               work               and               become               less               reliant               on               the               Hollywood               agent               system.

    My               book               spoke               in               rebuke               of               the               cash               flow               allotted               to               the               church               and               its               partnering               fame-driven               ministries               and               givers,               and               was               therefore               relegated               as               heresy.
                   Later               I               would               learn               this               about               the               Church               of               this               Age:               when               you               want               to               learn               Man's               motives,               follow               the               money.
                   I               was               trying               to               get               Witness               Protection               done,               while               attending               this               church.

    There               was               money               there,               but               none               of               it               was               flowing               in               my               direction.

    Over               Halloween,               2000,               I               attended               a               church               party               at               a               private               home               where               the               bachelorette               whose               family               hosted               the               event               was               very,               very               flirtatious.

    Being               a               single               Christian,               I               considered               her               a               possible               courtee.

    But               so               did               one               of               the               other               young               men               who               also               attended,               whom               she               had               grown               up               with.
                   The               following               Monday               at               work,               I               got               a               call               from               pastor               Jim.

    He               accused               me               of               being               inappropriate               with               this               young               woman,               and               advised               me               to               'cool               it'.

    Since               I               had               observed               sexual               harassment               from               many               of               the               guys               in               the               worship               band,               whom               he               held               in               high               regard,               he               didn't               take               kindly               to               me               defending               myself.

    Again,               he               articulated               that               I               no               right               to               defend               myself.
                   The               gal               was               attracted               to               me,               harassed               by               her               peers,               and               lied               to               avoid               accountability.
                   Pastor               Jim               had               also               admitted               dropping               the               administrative               ball               in               regards               to               the               Singles               ministry               as               a               whole,               which               I               articulated               in               a               letter               to               him,               spelling               out               why               I               had               left               for               a               few               months               prior               to               a               rough               arrival               back               in               the               previous               August.

    He               demanded               I               formally               apologize               in               writing,               and               show               sincere               outward               repentance               before               my               attendance               at               the               single-women               filled               Christian               Assembly               night               was               allowed               again.
                   When               I               first               showed               up               to               the               church,               referred               by               a               friend,               the               doors               were               locked.

    It               turns               out               the               church               went               on               vacation               for               the               week               I               arrived.

    I               voiced               my               concerns               to               the               senior               pastor               by               mail.

    Apparently               that               got               him               in               trouble.
                   He               didn't               want               to               admit               being               remotely               in               error,               so               I               called               my               accountability               in               Arizona               to               vouch               for               my               character.

    That               didn't               work               either.

    Despite               having               the               future               best               man               at               my               wedding               vouch               for               me,               Pastor               Jim               was               determined               to               make               my               knees               bow               before               him,               claiming               obscure               Scripture               passages               out               of               context.
                   It               was               unscriptural               manipulation,               and               he               went               so               far               as               to               tell               other               department,               such               as               the               kids               ministry,               pleading               for               college               aged               volunteers,               to               stone-wall               me.

    The               guy               wouldn't               budge.

    I               caused               waves               and               therefore               had               to               'repent'.

    I               told               him               which               direction               hell               was               and               how               to               get               there.

    He               was               eventually               fired               from               that               church.
                   At               that               time,               I               had               attempted               to               get               my               film               finished               and               inquired               with               a               company               where               an               executive               who               produced               such               films               as               The               Joy               Riders               and               The               Note               was               located.

    I               learned               that               in               the               case               of               short-lived               Providence               Entertainment,               run               by               Cindy               Bond,               there               was               little               difference               between               them               and               Hollywood.

    Rick               Bonn               had               worked               for               Cindy               Bond               and               had               nothing               good               to               say               about               her.
                   Coleman               Luck               III               was               afraid               my               criticism               of               her               role               as               a               producer               would               somehow               put               his               relationship               with               his               agent               in               jeopardy,               and               demanded               I               recant.
                   I               was               very               hurt               by               church               leaders               and               the               betrayal               of               brothers               in               the               Lord.
                   One               day               in               early               2003,               just               after               service               ended               at               Metro               Church               of               Santa               Monica,               I               tried               to               say               hello               to               Ron               Romberger.

    He               was               very               protective               of               his               professional               relationship               with               his               agent,               which               over               time,               resulted               in               little-to-no               work               for               him.

    But               he               didn't               miss               the               chance               to               tell               me               off.

    "You're               full               of               hate,               Cory,"               he               said               with               hate               in               his               voice,               "I               don't               need               it,               and               I               don't               want               to               feed               it."
                   Yes,               the               editor               of               HBO's               First               Look:               Gladiator               had               chosen               to               categorize               a               Braveheart-like               call               to               raise               the               standards               of               our               filmmaking               for               Christ,               as               hate.

    I               hated               the               laziness               and               deceptiveness               by               Believers               in               the               process               of               producing               Bible               movies.

    He               was               trying               to               make               a               living               in               the               Don't               Rock               The               Boat               camp               that               existed               in               Burbank,               California               in               the               early               21st               century.
                   Ron               went               on               to               editor               for               reality               series               American               Chopper,               which               seemed               to               fit,               for               he               looked               like               the               actors               in               the               show.

    Still,               attending               the               same               church,               it               was               painful               to               know               that               the               call               to               raise               our               standards               had               been               rejected.

    During               worship,               these               people               would               raise               their               hands               and               in               the               most               animated               pentecostal               way               they               could,               praise               God               out               of               one               side               of               their               mouths,               then               use               the               post-church               fellowship               as               a               time               to               network               for               industry               jobs,               some               in               porn.

    They               talked               the               talk               of               Christianese               to               give               their               careers               an               edge.

    It               was               sickening               to               watch.
                   Furthermore,               my               motivates               for               filmmaking               were               totally               different               than               these               men               I               had               attended               a               Bible               study               with.

    I               saw               movie               making               as               a               means               to               share               the               Gospel.

    Ron               confessed               that               for               him,               the               work               was               work,               purely               motivated               by               money.
                   His               witness               to               me               died               as               his               words               hit               the               ground,               in               the               parking               lot               outside               the               same               Hamburger               Hamlet               where               George               Lucas               had               incurred               an               onslaught               of               insults               from               Brian               DePalma               over               a               private               test               screening               of               Star               Wars               decades               before.

    I               was               being               told               by               several               of               the               most               underemployed               production               workers               in               the               industry               that               my               refusal               to               compromise               to               the               lowest               common               denominator               of               the               Hollywood               Agent               System               was               a               sign               of               the               need               for               deliverance               from               demonic               possession.
                   That               is               unscriptural.
                   During               one               Bible               study               in               2001,               I               was               trying               to               make               a               point               and               professor               Thom               Parham               rudely               shushed               me               as               if               I               were               one               of               his               undergraduate               students.

    Thom               had               worked               briefly               as               a               story               editor               on               Touched               By               An               Angel,               and               had               written               a               few               unproduced               screenplays.

    Yet               his               college               degree               qualified               him               to               be               university               faculty.

    He               was               about               as               in-the-world               without               being               of-the-world               of               entertainment               as               one               could               get.

    His               weekly               prayer               requests               were               laments               about               female               coeds               whom               he               wanted               to               have               families               with.

    He               was               a               Trekkie               in               his               40's               when               I               met               him.

    He               also               used               the               race               card               when               ever               it               suited               him.

    Upon               the               shush,               I               lost               respect               for               him.
                   I               didn't               hesitate               to               address               the               rudeness               of               his               inappropriate               shush,               and               he               cowardly               hid               behind               the               other               guys               in               what               translated               into               a               "suspension"               from               the               Bible               study.

    Cole's               short-lived               marriage               was               about               to               be               annulled,               so               there               was               tremendous               tension               among               us,               minus               Thom's               controlling               shush.
                   I               was               given               an               ultimatum,               therapy               or               else.
                   The               irony               made               me               laugh.
                   I               had               just               met               my               future               wife,               and               been               hailed               at               these               Bible               studies               as               its               next               leader,               by               Cole.

    The               group               shared               a               tearful               foot-washing               ceremony,               reenacting               the               evening               Jesus               had               with               His               disciples.

    I               had               wounds               yet               unresolved               from               the               church               I               had               come               from               in               Tucson,               Grace               The               The               Nations,               a.k.a.

    Grace               Chapel,               where               I               first               experienced               bigotry.

    My               primary               request               when               I               arrived               at               Christian               Assembly,               which               whom               this               group               was               close-knit               with,               I               asked               for               just               one               pastor               to               talk               to.
                   Apparently               that               was               like               asking               for               free               health               care.
                   So,               when               I               attended               the               sessions,               I               learned               a               few               Christian               meditation               techniques,               and               the               counselor               and               I               came               to               a               mutual               conclusion:               these               guys               were               manipulative               bastards               and               the               counselor               wanted               no               part               in               it.

    The               counselor               and               I               got               along               well,               and               I               invited               him               to               my               wedding.
                   I               never               saw               any               of               those               men               again.

    Cole               went               on               to               cast               his               buddy               Marc,               in               a               minor               role               in               Six:               The               Mark               Unleashed.

    Their               goal               was               to               make               a               trilogy               of               Six               movies,               tricking               Satanic               worshiper-movie               fans               to               rent               the               Christian               trilogy.

    Their               marketing               strategy               failed               to               get               the               second               film               made;               the               first               got               bad               reviews.
                   I               wanted               to               used               PrAir               Time               as               a               baseball               bat,               and               hit               these               judgmental               (expletives)               in               their               respective               guts.

    It               was               not               the               best               motivation,               and               it               was               not               of               God.
                   However,               God               did               bless               what               was               produced.
                   The               ads               themselves               were               good               enough               to               earn               the               donated               creative               rights               by               the               band               Apologetix,               whose               vast               library               proved               to               be               enough               to               give               them               the               edge               and               humor               they               needed.
                   By               2003,               I               had               pitched               PrAir               Time               to               so               many               people,               it               consumed               me               like               a               mistress               would.
                   I               had               gained               one               pastoral               endorsement,               but               it               seemed               like               nothing               was               attracting               cash               flow               to               it.

    I               had               gotten               married               in               2002,               and               my               wife's               salary               was               being               used               to               underwrite               both               PrAir               Time,               and               another               financial               drain,               my               film               Witness               Protection.
                   In               2004,               I               had               shared               the               vision               of               PrAir               Time               with               a               friend               who               had               been               successful               at               selling               live               performance               DJ               events               in               two               states.

    Together,               we               pitched               the               idea               to               some               of               his               wealthier               friends,               and               I               thought               the               start-up               funding               to               make               PrAir               Time               the               next               Promise               Keepers               was               just               a               matter               of               time.
                   Just               before               Youtube.com               launched,               online               video               venues               were               rare,               and               pagers               will               still               being               sold               in               stores.

    I               had               this               crazy               idea               of               having               an               online               video               menu               of               prayer               ads,               much               like               the               assorted               Hallmark               cards               one               finds               in               their               stores,               but               programmed               such               that               a               user               could               select               one,               customize               it               and               either               donate               money               to               have               it               run               on               television,               or               license               it               for               personal               use.
                   The               iPhone,               and               all               its               video               networking               capabilities               was               five               years               away.
                   PrAir               Time               had               always               served               two               main               functions:               prayer               on               television               and               be               a               fundraising               tool               for               Christian               media.

    Imagine               the               peace               and               order               that               could               be               injected               into               American               culture               if               TV               commercials               included               prayers.

    The               supernatural               power               of               that               concept               both               inspired               people               and               offended               some.

    Prayer               was               considered               too               sacred               for               TV,               except               when               being               read               aloud               by               the               folks               on               TBN.

    Lenders               that               financed               movies               did               so               based               on               two               criteria:               cash               flow               and               collateral.

    Los               Angeles               was               full               of               artists               who               had               one,               or               the               other,               or               neither.
                   I               was               convinced               that               prayer-on-television               would               play               a               role               in               the               future               of               filmmaking.
                   Advertising               revenue               is               to               the               entertainment               industry               what               oil               is               to               the               auto               industry.

    If               the               Church               collectively               adopted               PrAir               Time               as               a               mutual               muscle               one               could               flex               to               be               heard               in               the               media,               it               would               send               a               message               to               all               the               networks:               respect               the               Bible               and               the               money               will               follow.
                   Before               the               release               of               The               Passion               of               The               Christ,               it               was               the               common               attitude               that               shows               like               X-Files               went               out               of               their               way               to               portray               all               Christians               in               general               as               cult-like               psychos.
                   That               didn't               reflect               the               character               or               heart               of               those               I               fellowshipped               with,               and               I               wanted               to               create               a               tool               which               which               the               otherwise               whiney,               legalistic               and               unpleasable               Believers               I               had               come               to               know               in               various               church               families,               could               exercise               their               right               to               be               heard               by               the               CEOs               of               all               the               major               media               companies.
                   There               were               just               a               few               assumptions               I               made               without               doing               enough               market               research.
                   First,               I               assumed               that               if               such               a               tool               was               available               to               Christians,               that               they               would               flock               to               it               like               those               who               buy               Star               Wars               movie               tickets               on               opening               weekend.
                   Second,               I               assumed               that               the               formatting               and               media               venues               as               they               existed               in               2002               would               remain               as               they               were               for               a               while.
                   I               was               wrong               on               both               counts.
                   Third,               I               thought               a               larger               entity,               whether               a               church               or               a               parachurch               organization,               would               provide               a               covering               that               would               attract               corporate               sponsors               and               eventually               lead               to               bigger               funding,               thus               fulfilling               what               PrAir               Time               was               intended               to               do:               provide               the               funding               for               feature               films.
                   I               wanted               to               be               the               George               Lucas               of               Christian               movie               making.

    Allow               me               to               change               that               slightly.
                   I               wanted               to               be               George               Lucas,               in               the               cinematic               style               of               Harrison               Ford,               enjoying               the               box               office               results               of               May               30th,               1977,               when               20th               Century               Fox               was               shocked               to               learn               his               film               had               broken               37               of               40               house               records,               and               anyone               who               had               ever               criticized               Lucas               was               made               to               look               like               a               fool.
                   It               was               seeking               revenge               against               everyone               from               industry               peers               at               the               bottom,               to               high               school               classmates,               with               varying               degrees               of               offense;               to               my               parents,               one               deceased.
                   My               motives               were               not               totally               of               God.

    Don't               get               me               wrong:               I               truly               wanted               to               see               community               prayer               on               television.
                   My               wife               called               me               on               it               daily.

    And               nightly.

    And               at               lunch.

    And               every               time               I               tried               to               sell               her               on               the               idea               that               PrAir               Time               would               be               the               next               iLife.

    Note               the               unique               spelling.

    Others               noted               how               cool               the               idea               was,               but               not               enough               to               write               a               check.

    PrAir               Time               took               in               less               than               $150               donations               in               8               years.
                   Over               time,               everything               I               didn't               know               would               hurt               me,               having               engaged               in               this               endeavor               without               a               refined               business               plan.
                   The               Scripture               says,               "If               God               is               for               us,               who               can               stand               against               us?"
                   God               doesn't               need               gimmicks.

    He               doesn't               need               special               effects.

    He               doesn't               need               me               to               reach               people.

    Ministry               is               a               privilege               and               until               we               get               that,               I               think               He               allows               us               to               stumble               over               our               own               agendas.
                   Make               no               mistake,               my               biggest               obstacles               were               other               people               who               decided               to               either               stumble               me               or               ignore               me               over               their               own               agendas               and               priorities.
                   I               learned               quickly               that               web               masters               were               both               arrogant               and               broke.

    Software               was               becoming               cheaper               and               more               accessible,               and               their               industry               was               becoming               less               and               less               reliant               on               a               once-select               few               computer               programmers.
                   I               then               learned               not               to               trust               any               accountant               blindly.

    The               first               time               PrAir               Time               was               established               as               a               corporation,               it               was               a               wreck.

    Laws               were               broken               and               money               went               unaccounted               for.

    All               I               had               to               show               for               it               was               a               few               orphaned               video               ads               and               a               bad               web               site.
                   Before               I               decided               to               go               back               to               college               in               2007,               and               complete               my               bachelor's               degree,               there               was               a               moment               which               proved               to               be               pivotal               in               my               life,               but               it               would               neither               break               me               nor               make               me.

    God               alone               does               that.
                   In               2003,               I               had               the               idea               of               producing               a               show               called               Slightly               Famous,               combining               the               allure               of               America's               Funniest               Home               Videos               with               the               donating               power               of               the               online               audience.
                   The               show               was               a               combination               of               The               Gong               Show               and               Youtube,               again,               shortly               before               Youtube               debuted.

    Since               L.A.

    is               full               of               people               with               movie               pitches               and               ideas,               the               concept               was               to               make               a               show               about               movie               pitches               and               allow               viewers               to               donate               money               to               ideas               they               liked               in               the               effort               to               get               the               ideas               developed               or               made.
                   My               then               partner,               Chris               Dunn               of               an               Arizona-based               mobile               DJ               company               that               bore               his               name,               (whose               then-spouse               did               the               accounting),               made               two               calls               and               used               words               that               would               forever               change               our               lives.
                   To               me,               he               said,               "Let               me               hire               a               friend               of               mine               who               produces               video,               as               a               favor               for               me.

    He'd               be               working               for               free."
                   I               agreed.

    Little               did               I               know               that               he               used               the               same               words               to               the               video               contractor.

    That               is,               working               on               the               project               was               a               favor               to               him.

    I               had               previously               stated               that               we               needed               to               pay               everyone.

    Volunteers               were               trouble.

    Student               interns               were               at               least               working               for               credit.
                   Just               before               shooting               our               pilot,               we               went               to               lunch.

    I               had               been               living               next               door               to               Panavision's               Woodland               Hills               labs               and               I               had               worked               at               Universal               Studios,               wearing               a               director's               neckband               around               my               collar.

    I               talked               about               the               low               quality               of               shows               I               had               not               liked,               and               expressed               my               desire               to               make               them               better,               and               having               an               impact               on               the               Christian               retail               industry               worldwide,               including               what               existed               in               Tucson.
                   In               a               later               email               to               the               video               producer,               I               spoke               of               the               bad               customer               service               experience               I               had               at               Gospel               Supplies               of               Tucson,               dealing               directly               with               its               then-owner-operator,               Winston               Maddox,               Jr.,               who               tried               to               illegally               overcharge               me               for               a               CD               in               1998.

    I               criticized               the               decor               of               the               store,               and               how               behind               in               the               technology               and               products               that               were               being               offered               at               retail               venues               such               as               WalMart,               for               less.

    Gospel               Supplies               had               recently               put               a               rival               video               store               on               the               same               strip               mall               out               of               business.
                   Now               that               their               profits               were               dipping,               such               criticisms,               especially               from               a               middle-class               suburbanite               such               as               me,               were               intolerable.
                   The               video               producer               revealed               very               defensively               that               his               family               owned               that               store               and               all               decorations               were               customized               by               his               father               and               sister.
                   When               Chris               Dunn               approached               this               store               owners               to               market               bookmarks               promoting               PrAir               time               at               his               three               stores,               he               was               met               with,               "Cory               Parella               hurt               me               more               than               anyone               else               I               have               ever               known."               A               year               later,               an               accountant               stole               $100,000               from               him,               and               a               newspaper               quoted               him               stating               that               the               much-necessary               retail               face               lift               of               the               store               and               its               inventory               was               inspired               by               the               Holy               Spirit.

    My               experience               is               that               where               the               money               flows,               the               arrogance               of               men               is               heightened.
                   Meanwhile,               the               business               Chris               Dunn               was               referred               to               by               Winston               Maddox               Jr.,               the               former               president               of               the               National               Christian               Retailers               Association               and               co-senior               pastor               of               Tucson's               Catalina               Foothills               Church,               which               boasted               of               celebrity               attendees,               was               apparently               too               much               to               risk               to               side               with               righteousness.

    He               canceled               a               national               interview               that               was               scheduled               through               his               brother,               Patrick               Dunn,               then               working               for               Focus               On               The               Family.

    That               interview               would               have               given               PrAir               Time               an               international               platform.
                   Chris               tried               to               broker               a               reconciliation.

    Apparently               an               apology               was               beneath               the               Maddox               family.

    They               were,               after               all,               rich,               Tucson-rich.
                   Chris               called               his               brother               and               canceled               the               interview.

    I               would               later               learn               in               my               business               law               class               that               I               could               have               sued               him.

    He               would               later               lose               his               business               and               his               wife               in               a               divorce.
                   God               knows               how               to               be               God.
                   Gospel               Supplies               changed               ownership               and               diminished               in               value               among               those               it               had               once               been               a               primary               supplier               to.

    Amazon.com               was               able               to               meet               the               needs               of               buyers               faster               and               cheaper,               and               without               the               wannabe-Christian               attitude.
                   I               went               on               to               learn               that               the               only               one               other               than               myself               who               had               my               best               interests               in               mind               was               God,               for               every               deal               and               business               association               I               encountered               within               the               scope               of               my               faith               ended               badly.

    There               are               people               who               do               not               take               the               time               to               learn               how               to               do               business               such               that               in               incurs               more               business,               and               many               of               them               are               Believers.
                   From               credit               card               processors               to               accounting               to               registered               agency,               to               web               site               management,               to               legal               agency               to               conduct               business,               I               took               the               scars               from               my               life               experiences               and               invested               them               into               a               four-year               degree,               resulting               in               a               Bachelor's               Degree               in               Liberal               Arts/Journalism               and               a               Minor               in               Business.
                   I               had               also               learned               how               nonprofits               operated,               and               how               TV               commercials,               both               for-profit               and               nonprofit,               got               on               the               air.
                   The               fact               is,               if               there               is               a               way               for               PrAir               Time               to               appeal               to               underwriters,               individuals               or               companies,               to               run               as               it               was               intended,               I               haven't               found               it.

    No               business               model               I               have               learned               about               supports               it               except               one.
                   If               Focus               On               The               Family               or               an               agency               with               as               much               media               savvy               and               clout               were               to               put               hundreds               of               millions               of               dollars               and               their               name               behind               PrAir               Time,               it               would               in               fact               become               the               Next               Big               Thing.
                   And               they               almost               did.
                   In               2003,               my               wife               and               I               visited               Colorado               Springs               where               my               sisters               lived.

    One               worked               for               Focus               and               one               lived               with               a               boyfriend               who,               sadly               was               quietly               committing               sexual               assault               with               her               daughter.

    It               would               takes               years               or               the               law               to               catch               up               with               him.

    In               the               meantime,               we               had               a               terrible               vacation,               as               I               scouted               out               locations               in               Colorado,               specifically               Denver,               where               I               believed               God               was               calling               us               to               establish               His               movie               studio               system,               based               in               Downtown.
                   Gossip               between               my               sisters               resulted               in               Focus               On               The               Family               intervening.

    Apparently               my               sister               did               not               want               anyone               to               read               our               emails,               for               she               used               a               work               account               to               curse               me               out.
                   Focus               heard               of               that               family               issue               and               Patrick               Dunn's               third-party               story,               and               suddenly,               a               pastor               who               had               endorsed               PrAir               Time               where               we               were               still               residing               in               Ventura               County               said               to               me               in               a               less               than               flattering               way,               "They               have               a               file               on               you,"               making               Focus               sound               like               the               FBI.
                   True,               they               did.

    By               2007,               My               sister               was               terminated               from               Focus.

    She               lost               her               house               3               years               later.

    The               pastor               realizes               his               error               a               year               later               and               apologized               to               me.

    We               were               formally               blessed-out               by               the               church               as               we               prepared               to               leave               California               for               Colorado               in               late               July,               2006.
                   My               wife               put               in               her               final               3               or               8               years               of               teaching               in               a               northern               Colorado               public               high               school,               and               we               had               3               kids               by               2010.
                   I               graduated               in               May               of               2011               after               20               years               of               effort.
                   We'll               come               back               to               all               that.

    The               Hand               of               God               did               move.
                   In               2006,               we               packed               out               last               box               and               moved               east               to               a               suburban               farming               community               called               Brighton,               northeast               of               Denver.

    The               snow               was               colder               than               we               expected,               even               the               locals               were               frost               bitten               by               that               year's               weather.

    The               church               fellowship               we               sought               was               absent               despite               my               incurable               enthusiasm.

    I               knew               I               belonged               in               Colorado.
                   Just               before               moving,               I               met               Beverlee               Dean               in               person               and               Frank               Rossi,               by               phone.

    Mrs.

    Dean               had               been               an               A-list               talent               manager               in               Beverly               Hills               whose               clients               included               Jim               Caviezel,               Reese               Witherspoon,               Tara               Reid,               Jessica               Beil,               and               more.

    The               goal               was               to               get               Mel               Gibson               to               appear               as               the               Apostle               Paul               in               my               feature               film               project               Justin               Time,               which               had               just               won               a               regional               film               festival               award               in               2004.
                   Through               her,               I               met               Frank               Rossi,               whom               I               had               known               from               watching               White               Men               Can't               Jump               hundreds               of               times.

    My               own               film,               Witness               Protection               was               very               much               derived               from               that               film.
                   The               goal               was               to               use               an               acting               workshop               to               launch               PrAir               Time.

    We               had               started               attending               Northern               Hills               Christian               Church,               and               I               was               dying               for               a               pick-up               basketball               game.
                   I               had               impulsively               name-dropped               to               a               local               musician               who               worked               for               that               church               as               a               contract               pastor,               and               I               was               both               invited               to               play               in               a               private               pick-up               game,               and               offered               web               design               and               marketing               services               by               a               local               designer.
                   There               I               met               David               Powers               and               his               business               partner               Luke               Bodley,               who               agreed               to               produce               a               web               site               for               PrAir               Time's               acting               workshop.
                   A               few               days               later,               I               learned               that               my               attempts               to               secure               the               church               location               as               the               event               venue               had               been               interfered               with               by               Powers,               and               my               troubles               with               their               church's               fellowship-forming               program               known               as               'Life               Groups'               had               resulted               in               us               being               unwelcome               there.

    Apparently               the               church               staff               desired               people               who               came,               quietly               received               what               was               offered               and               left,               after               throwing               money               into               the               collection               bags.
                   I               didn't               operate               that               way.

    I               expected               yeses               to               be               yeses               and               no's               to               be               no's.

    But,               apparently               the               church's               elders               and               board               had               engaged               in               a               hostile               take               over               that               won               the               resignation               of               their               founding               senior               pastor,               and               certain               members               were               jockeying               for               power.
                   I               left               wounded,               without               a               church               fellowship,               embarrassed               to               the               agent               who               had               agreed               to               fly               out,               and               in               debt               per               a               business               loan               I               took               out               to               cover               start-up               costs.
                   The               web-building/marketing               team               that               breached               a               contract               with               me               went               on               to               produce               Heaven               Fest.
                   I               tried               to               put               TV               ads               on               Comcast               cable               channels               myself,               but               despite               my               best               efforts,               not               a               single               donation               came               in               to               cover               the               costs.
                   My               long               time               accountability               in               the               Lord,               a               pastor               in               Tucson               who               knew               me               since               I               converted               to               Christianity               in               1998,               also               failed               to               win               an               audience               of               supporters               among               those               in               his               own               church.
                   It               has               been               said               that               in               art,               timing               is               everything.
                   We               were               ahead               of               the               curve               too               much,               and               the               business               plan               was               incomplete.
                   Today,               I               sense               PrAir               Time               could               be               functional,               if               not               profitable.

    But               how,               and               where,               I               don't               know.
                   I               chose               to               complete               my               degree               and               by               the               Hand               of               God,               3-time               Oscar               winner               Bobby               Moresco               visited               my               alma               mater,               Colorado               State               University               in               2010.

    Through               that               seminar,               I               gained               perspective.

    Upon               receiving               screenplay               analysis               from               industry               experts,               all               said               the               same               thing:               novelize               your               screenplays.

    I               had               been               advised               by               friends               and               family               for               years               to               write               novels.
                   My               image               of               a               novelist               had               been               of               a               bald               man               with               bad               teeth,               smoking               a               pipe,               wearing               a               turtle-neck               shirt,               having               just               stepped               out               of               an               Irish               Spring               soap               commercial.

    But,               if               one               person               calls               you               a               horse,               you               can               ignore               it.

    Another,               ignore               them               too.

    Dozens               of               people               call               you               a               horse,               consider               buying               a               saddle.
                   Novelization               became               the               new               focus.
                   Now,               as               my               kids               learn               how               to               read,               they               see               their               dad               working               as               a               freelance               writers               whose               work               shows               up               on               eHow.com               and               Answerbag.com,               and               other               venues.

    My               novels               hit               retailers               in               February               2011.
                   Createspace.com               provides               low               cost               or               free               self-publishing               for               anyone               willing               to               put               in               the               work.

    A               lot               of               people               parading               themselves               as               agents               or               high-cost               self-publishing               companies               have               been               quenched               by               this               service.
                   As               my               marriage               continues               on,               and               we               finally               found               a               church               that               fits               us,               I               have               everything               to               look               forward               to.
                   Will               PrAir               Time               ever               get               used               by               anyone?
                   Eventually.
                   I'll               license               it.

    I               took               a               class               in               that.
