"Friday Night" thanks

The creators of "Friday Night" wish to thank the following people for their inspiration or influence which led to the making of this film...

Jolene thanks:

the crew- the mighty K, melissa j. (la mwah!), rockstar, and nateykins...thanks for making another horrid summer in the valley somewhat entertaining

the kids- brian futile, eli rock, cody gargunza, justin, bad ass brad, ian nauroth, dave weston, malibu lou, james the naked guy, jayson and bethany, and the bwa wrestlers...thanks for appearing in my silly little movie

the fans- for viewing my summer's work...if you live here, you can surely empathize; if not, you're damn lucky

the diner- the poodle skirt...thanks for the great service (better than the ham fam), and the many cups of coffee which kept me going and eventually helped spawn this fine film

the fam- for prolonging my entrapment in this dreaded place...thanks for nothing

the place- the lehigh valley...no other place could be so boring and yet so inspiring at the same time

Melissa J. loves:

Thanks go to Ham Fam, first of all, (for being such a shitty place with shitty servers of coffee & tea that we were forced to discover The Poodle Skirt) and to my clown and Joche for having such curly hair and Jolene (la mwah) for having such punkass hair (see movie stills) and of course to my other lovers--Jess, Kristen, & Nate (who give me lots of pleasures too). I'd also like to thank Mr. Vladimir Nabokov for giving me that nasty sunburn in May, Mr. Thomas Stearns Eliot for being a better Libra than me, Mr. Allen Ginsberg for making it cool to be a dork, Mr. Jack Kerouac for being such a sexy beast Pisces, Mr. Bob Dylan for sexually entertaining me with "Nashville Skyline", (and that little late-sixties beard he had) the Spice Girls for making life meaningful, the aforementioned The Poodle Skirt diner for having such a loud jukebox, (and for being open 24 hours) the Lehigh Valley Hospital for having that wonderous big ass abstract sculpture that makes the whole place so damn aesthetic, (that was sarcasm in case you didn' t get it) my great uncles at the furniture store for giving me cookies, my sis Amy Baymee for making sense in the midst of my dysfunctional family, 7 Eleven for those 79 cent (banana!) Slurpees (my new favorite thing) and, of course, the Teletubbies for providing summer entertainment, (and something for me and JoJo to bet on). And oh yes, all the little people too.

Cast. Crew. Soundtrack. Stills. Thanks. E-mail. Home
