I've said it before and I'll say it again. My fans are the best! I want to thank all of you who participated in the T-shirt sales contest to win a phone call from me. Also, special thanks to the five lucky winners of the E-Bay auction items and to all of you who placed bids to help up the bid and raise the funds. Together we raised $440.00 to support Monika's Marlborough Sounds Restorative Trust Research Project.

I've already made my first call to Kayla Rossi on New Year's Day. I talked to her while I was in Santa Fe on my way to he slopes that morning. Next up is Rachel Fridkin. She will get her special call on Valentine's Day. Check out the community section of my website for a list of the other lucky winners.

The fun isn't over yet. Since I only had six T-shirt/Call entries, they were instant winners. That means there are still T-shirts to sell and you still have the chance to win a call. I am extending the contest until February 29th. So, get your order in before the deadline and I will choose six more lucky winners to get a call from me, July through December.

Everyone is a winner in this contest. For only a $10 contribution, you get a "Rock Steady" T-shirt with a signed autograph picture. Monika's project benefits 100% from your contributions and I get the pleasure of chatting with six more of my favorite fans. One of them could be you.

Don't delay. Get your entry in and you could be the next one to receive that special

What's Up Next?

One thing's certain, WB is busy developing their new line up for fall 2004. Ill be in LA for a few weeks taking development meetings on some of the new series projects that have been given the greenlight from WB. Nothing is nailed down yet, so I will have to get back to you, but chances look good that my fans will be able to tune in and catch me on a new WB drama this fall. While I'm in LA I will also be following up on a few feature film meetings. I'm checking out films that are set for a spring/summer shoot, and am wrapping up a few guest lead auditions. By the end of February I should have some real news to share with you about what's up next. Until then, be sure to tune in to "Smallville". Hold a thought for me.
