BrianTurk: lexx, april

BrianTurk: wow... lots here

lulafortune: of course there are...you think we'd miss out on a chance to chat with you, Brian?

BrianTurk: hello... how goes the auction?

CBFCBeth: it's going great!

CBFCBeth: we're really starting to get some bids in!

CBFCBeth: And thanks so much for the goodies you sent! There's bids on all of it!

BrianTurk: bids....(whew) I was worried no one would want them

CBFCBeth: Oh... of COURSE they want them!

CBFCBeth: the enamal cup is too cute!

BrianTurk: has everyone here bid on something from the auction????

CBFCBeth: I see some familiar bidders here....

blondeambition1998: I wish I could Brian..Im so broke :(

BrianTurk: sorry blonde..... maybe april will send you a razorblade

Aprilsong: Brian I sent all the ones I had left to the auction

BrianTurk: how does the bidding work beth??? do you update it when you get home or is it automatic...? or do they just put their highest bid they would want to pay???

CBFCBeth: I update it by hand

CBFCBeth: so whenever I get the bids in, I try to update

CBFCBeth: but tomorrow and Thursday i'm gonna be working an Estate Sale, so the bids will be updated only a couple times those days

KateBCG: It's proxy, Brian...you give you're highest bid and it gets updated by beth automatically...

BrianTurk: ahhh

BrianTurk: wow.... $200 for a phone call from Clancy????

BrianTurk: wow

CBFCBeth: yeah!

missmewslove: Brian, can I ask you a question about "Art School Confidential"?

BrianTurk: sure miss

missmewslove: When will it be released, and tell us something about the character that you play?

BrianTurk: good question... I have no idea actually miss. A lot have asked but, I don't know. I play "Jerome's" black sheep of the family's cousin when he is home for Thanksgiving dinner.... funny but, mostly embarrassing part

missmewslove: thanks Brian....looking forward to its release

BrianTurk: yeah... it has been a long time coming

LexxiSmiles: Brian....the tentative release date for Art School Confidential is April 2006.

Michelle: Brian, how is the puppy?

BrianTurk: she is a princess!!!!

BrianTurk: no she is good

BrianTurk: we just got back from puppy class right now

BrianTurk: she is the star of the class if I do say so myself

BrianTurk: <--------- beeming proud parent

Michelle: but you're not biased, are ya?

BrianTurk: not biased at all michelle

BrianTurk: the instructor keeps using her for illustrations in class

BrianTurk: <---------- pats himself on the back

BrianTurk: plus she is a cutie....

Michelle: feel like dog-sitting my pup for awhile? takin her to some classes?

BrianTurk: sure.... I have the time

blondeambition1998: what kind of dog is she Brian? and her name?

BrianTurk: I got a 7 month old Rottweiler, I never thought I would get one of those but, she truly is very sweet and won me over... I went to look at a lab/pointer but, adopted her. She has her tail still..... and her name is Daisy

CBFCBeth: I dont think I've ever seen a Rott with their tail!

BrianTurk: yeah beth... very cute... she was abandoned at a school... then turned over to a shelter... then to Rottweiler rescue which doesn't deal with dogs with their tails so she was turned over again to a rescue foundation

BrianTurk: very tramatic month or so

blondeambition1998: are you gonna keep her tail on?? Or have it removed?

BrianTurk: Daisy is keeping her tail blonde... I could not do that to her

BrianTurk: plus it adds soooooo much personality... I think anyway

Aprilsong: SO Brian can you tell us something about the Photo shoot for the ensemble pic in the auction?

BrianTurk: april.... it was taken right after the filming of episode..... 6 I believe... pick a number.

BrianTurk: it was literally right after I walked around with the "cason" (sp?) three times... why three??? no one really knows.

BrianTurk: but, that was one of the few times we were all together... well most of us anyway

Michelle: any interesting details you can remember about what is up for auction...? besides what april asked about :)

BrianTurk: Michelle... ahh I would have to see them... but, it is funny taken out of the set... it is tough to say where it is from...
they all blur together

CBFCBeth: Do you recognize that Mystery Black Velvet Cap?

CBFCBeth: it's got a lot of folks stumped

BrianTurk: no beth I do not... funny...but, it does look familiar

CBFCBeth: Any word on the Season 2 DVD release date?

BrianTurk: not that I have heard beth...

blondeambition1998: so why no 100 dollar phone calls for Brian!!?

blondeambition1998: wouldnt it be fun to talk to Brian!?

CBFCBeth: Oh, we imposed on Brian more than enough!!!

BrianTurk: uhhh... blonde... I wouldn't think anyone would bid on that....

LexxiSmiles: of course they would!

Michelle: uh...brian..need i remind you that a few of us started fan clubs for you

Michelle: and, look how many people are here tonight

Michelle: FOR YOU

BrianTurk: and... what an incredible job you guys have both done....

KateBCG: SNL it is.

KateBCG: THough you get points for even mentining Space Jam.

BrianTurk: beth.... can you belive that this thing actually came together???? I remember when you first mentioned it....

CBFCBeth: There are days I can't believe it! But then I look at the bills! Hahahaha

CBFCBeth: No, it;s coming together great

CBFCBeth: and we have SO many people to thank for that

BrianTurk: hey beth... is that Dan's sig on the back of the mask????

CBFCBeth: Yes, Dan's autograph on the back of that. Whoops! Maybe I should add that to the description, huh? LOL!

KateBCG: So, Brian...how is that cruel mistress hollywood treating you?

BrianTurk: well Kate... eh??? but, it is picking up and hopefully something will break. I have a couple of auditions tomorrow... one pilot and one commercial... think happy thoughts on the pilot please :) But, nothing new to really speak of

BrianTurk: I am from orange county so I grew up with them

missmewslove: How is your back Brian, do you still have problems with it?

BrianTurk: thats pretty much it

CBFCBeth: Did you run into other castmates at the sale?

BrianTurk: beth... I had a meeting with an agency that day so I could not go early but, went bright and early on the Thursday I think.... I saw Debra and that was it.... funny, I told them over the phone what I wanted and they sold some of it anyway.

BrianTurk: oh well... tough job I would think

BrianTurk: oh and I am getting the book that I tossed into Dora Mae's grave... Michelle has it for me

CBFCBeth: Kimmie went down there on the weekend

CBFCBeth: and we were on a three way call checking episodes, trying to figure out where things were from! LOL

BrianTurk: yeah beth... it was crazy... it was just a big like soundstage... like where you saw the snake thing but, filled with rows and rows of stuff... they found my bin (where they kept all my
stuff) and it was empty... ransacked

Susan_CarnyChat: and if only we could figure out which ep Lodz hat comes from

CBFCBeth: if it is Lodz hat

CBFCBeth: Debra and Clancy thought it was Lodz, then weren't sure, Dk thought maybe Gecko, then he wasnt sure

BrianTurk: I just think that they got ahold of the box... which was in the back room and saw a character name on it and figured it was good and bought it.

Aprilsong: Brian--is that still on your tape?

BrianTurk: yes april... it leads off my tape... well me fighting and gettin kicked in the (*)&)(*s leads off then it follows

Aprilsong: I think that's a great choice-- It shows how wonderful you are as an actor--in the healing no words but I know exactly what you are thinking

missmewslove: Brian, what is your choice for fav movie/tv show you have been in? Besides Carnivale?

BrianTurk: miss... I love a few good men.... unfortunately I was not in it

BrianTurk: I guess my favorite thing was either Lost World or A.I.... not much screen time but, it was two weeks each working with Steven Spielberg... very cool.... part wise it would have to be either the Nash Bridges or the Buffy or Wings... all for different reasons
