“As the end of the summer has come, so have some big transitions.  Friends of my youngest son (17) are headed off to college.  His very best friend his entire life is also named Matthew and is the son of one of my closest friends.  He is a year older and when I found out I was having a boy, I told my friend that I wanted to name my son Matthew too.  I said, “It’s not like they will be friends.”  Well they have been as close as brothers and today he came to say good-bye.  They hugged and promised to video chat (the new coolest thing ever). I have loved this boy like a son and I was very choked up to send him off.  For his graduation I had a silver pendent made with his initials engraved and he says he never takes it off.  I feel like he is taking a bit of us with him.  Hopefully he will feel our love and support…..”

From Gregori J. Martin:  “The Bay has been approved for broadcast television in 19 countries in Europe, including the UK, Spain, Italy, France, Sweden & more! We are also in talks for an additional television distribution deal that can put us in over 25 millions homes throughout the US. Keep in mind that THE BAY The Series will always be available as a web series online as well.   An iPhone App will be available shortly of “Confessions” and the upcoming episodes, premiering Sept 15th.”

As I previously blogged about, my oldest son Danny went to Korea to teach English (the subject) for a year.  He knew no one and went alone.  As usual he had to completely drive me insane this summer before he left.  Maybe we will chock it up to needing to “separate” from his parents, but the time had come to be on his own.  He was anxious and ready to get the ball rolling, albeit nervous!…..

To encourage fans to give to The Bay’s Kickstarter Fundraiser for the Season Finale we will give away a The Bay poster autographed by most of the cast. For every $5 you give we will add your name to the pot. Give $5 and you have one chance, give $25 and you have 5 chances and so on. The more you give the better chance you get to win the poster. We also have someone who will match up to $1000 the money given so PLEASE join in the fun! Use Paypal and mark gift so no fees will be taken out and submit to MBEWebsite@aol.com. Drawing will be on September 4th  at 12 noon PDT. ALL money will be given to the Kickstarter fund.

PS We’ve had someone else offer to match up to $1000  and donate another signed poster!!  This gives us the potential to raise $3000 + for The Bay!!!  PLEASE GIVE!!!

UPDATE!!!: 

 Mary Beth has agreed to take the top two contributors out to dinner on September 25th (the weekend of the event for her and Stephen). If you aren’t in LA then she has agreed to call the winner(s).

If the $15,000 overall Kickstarter goal is not met, I will give you the option of refunding your money or if you would like to donate the money it will go in full to Gregori and The Bay. We must reach the $15,000 goal for MB to take two people out to dinner or make the phone calls.

To everyone who makes a donation, Mary Beth’s Official Website will give an autographed photo of Mary Beth also if the goal is met.

Hope this helps make it more fun and we raise more money!!!

“For the last 6 months or so I have been involved with a little project called The Bay The Series.  I say little, but it has BIG ambitions and possibilities!…….”

http://www.thebaytheseries.com
THE BAY: Confessions of the Garretts is a six part exclusive interview with the characters of Sara Garrett (Mary Beth Evans), Brian Garrett Nelson (Dylan Bruce), Marly Garrett Nelson-Foster (Martha Madison), and Peter Garrett (Kristos Andrews).Following the life of socialite SARA GARRETT and the people around her, THE BAY is a new Independent Soap Opera in the vein of Aaron Spelling’s 1980’s classic primetime hit, DYNASTY. Filled with sex, lies, scandal and everything required to make a hot dramatic series.

These videos will give you some background on the characters so that when the series starts you will have an idea of who these people are and how they are connected.  Look for a new “confession” every Wednesday until The Bay premiers September 15th.

Find out what Eileen Davidson thinks about Tucker and Ashley in this Deep Soap interview.
