White Board Session

The Parole Board wants to send a special shout-out to the INMATES that attended the White Board Sessions event.  The purpose of the event was to keep the INMATES updated with our plan for the upcoming LBB Documentary film and to also get ideas and feedback from the INMATES regarding what they'd like to see in the film.  We had a good turnout, despite the bad weather; and more importantly, we had a great brainstorming session with the INMATES that attended.  Many scenarios, concepts and impressions where exchanged.

The White Board Sessions event marked the end of our pre-production phase.  We are now moving on to the production phase, which is really excited.  This is when the real fun begins.  Of course, we will keep you updated as things develop.  The red carpet premier of the film will occur on Wednesday evening, November 19, 2014 at Club 8 in Dallas.  Please mark this date on your calendar as it will be an event you won't want to miss.

Thank you again to the INMATES that attended the White Board Sessions event.  As always, LBB would be nothing without the dedication and support from the INMATES.  With this film, we plan to show the rest of the world what we already know - life in the service industry is like nothing else you'll ever experience.  TOAST!

Life Behind Bars...The Film

The Parole Board has been working on a film project for a number of years.  Most INMATES are aware of this as we have eluded to this project occasionally over the years.  In fact, last year, we released a teaser-trailer for the film and received a lot of positive feedback and interest. 
                      
Although things may appear to have gone radio-silent with respect to the film, rest assured that still waters run deep.  Behind the scenes, The Parole Board has been involved with meeting after meeting in order to bring the film to completion.  Meetings with production companies, directors, lawyers, distribution companies, sponsors and investors seem to consume the majority of our days. But, this is a good thing as it means we are moving in the right direction. 

The film's concept is centered around the service industry life in Dallas, Texas. We will follow around, interview and document the lives of certain Dallas INMATES. Particularly, the film will focus on INMATES that fall into one of three categories: 1) lifers, 2) daywalkers and 3) daydreamers.  The idea is to show the world who we, as INMATES, truly are.

We are about to finish up the pre-production phase of the film and begin the production phase.  This is where you, the INMATES, come into play.  We would like to get feedback, ideas, thoughts, questions, comments and suggestions about the film.  This film is for the INMATES and thus, your thoughts are important to us. 

Therefore, next Monday, May 12, 2014 we would like to invite you to join The Parole Board at Club 8 (2645 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy, Dallas, TX 75234) for a White Board Session gathering.  We will start the event at 5:00 p.m. with drinks and give INMATES a chance to socialize with one another.  Thereafter, we will explain to you more about the film and what our vision is.  After that, we will open up the floor to you so that you can ask questions and give us input about what you'd like to see in the film. 

After the White Board Session gathering, we are going to being the production phase of the film.  Here is a general schedule of the upcoming events leading to the release of the film itself later this year:

• May 12, 2014 - White Board Session at Club 8
• June 1, 2014 - Pool Party/Filming Launch at Club 8
• July 2014 - Mixology Riot
• August 2014 - Comedy Riot featuring Justin Foster
• September 24, 2014 - Battle of the Bands Riot at Gas Monkey
• October 2014 - 86 Breast Cancer Scavenger Hunt
• November 19, 2014 - Red Carpet Movie Premier at Club 8

As we work out more of the details for these events, we will update you.  We hope to see you all at the White Board Session next Monday.  TOAST!

CALLING ALL INMATES

Occasionally I hear a story that breaks my heart while at the same time completely infuriates me.  I am about to share one such story with you now. 

On January 5, 2014, 69 year old Dallas resident Luis Rocha was brutally attacked leaving a Campisi's restaurant after picking up a to go order.  Mr. Rocha was not looking to start a fight that evening.  Nor was he running his mouth acting like an asshole.  Nope.  Not even close.  All he did was order a pizza and on the way back to his car, 3 dickless, spineless, complete wastes-of-sperm pricks decided to beat Mr. Rocha nearly to death. 

Mr. Rocha suffered broken back, broken ribs, a broken arm, a broken clavicle, a broken scapula and a shattered jaw as a result of what these fucking douchebags did to him.  What makes the entire incident perplexing is that Mr. Rocha's iPod, wallet, keys and other valuables were untouched.  So, it appears that the 3 fucktards decided to unleash a beating on an elderly man for no real reason. 

Mr. Rocha's son, Lou, has been an INMATE for 25 years.  So, naturally, other INMATES are rising up to show support for Mr. Rocha.  The Parole Board is asking that all INMATES come to The Back 9 in Addison tomorrow evening for a fund raiser for Mr. Rocha.   The event begins at 9:00pm and there will be $3.00 Wells, Calls and Domestics and $3.50 Crown & Down for all INMATES.  Also, there will be a bikini contest.  So, bring your wallets to help donate money for the Rocha family and prepare to have a good time while helping out a great man.

The police are still looking for the individuals that assaulted Mr. Rocha.  If you have any information about the incident, please contact the Dallas Police Department at 214-671-3001.    And, if those Tommy Toughnut mother fuckers that assaulted Mr. Rocha happen to read this blog, please contact The Parole Board.  We have baseball bats, 12" survival knives, assault rifles, countless pistols, an axe, a sledgehammer, thousands of rounds and a Hulk (aka The Lifer).  So, if you want to tango, I'm your Huckleberry.

Commencing the Countdown

T-minus 32 hours until the 2014 New Years Rock N Shot Comedy Show.  By now, most of you already know about this event.  But, in case you don't know, please read the previous post on the LBB blog.  Anyway, The Parole Board is putting the finishing touches on a few final items as we gear up for another great party to welcome in the new year.

We hope to see all of you at Trees tomorrow night.  We have some really great comedians and musicians lined up.  The booze will flow like wine.  The women will instincively flock to the event like the salmon of Capistrano.  Good times for all shall be had.  Don't miss out, or you'll hear all the great stories about what you missed and you'll end up counting down the days until 2015.
