We are STOKED!
The first few chapter are really coming together. Sebastian has been putting in late nights on perfecting them. Heather has been working hard as well editing - the voice of reason amidst the creative cacophony!

Hi everyone. After two months of IT issues and programming errors and data recovery, totaling about 30 recovery attempts and 100 hrs of work. We finally were able to recover a good copy of the film edit. We only ended up loosing about 1 week of work. It has been hard to believe but we just wouldn’t let anyone tell us that it was lost for good. So we just kept working with different IT people and ideas until we found one that worked. This has been a Hugh relief for everyone involved.

Hi everyone, we have had a catastrophic data loss on the editing system. Complete hard drive failure! This is a gigantic set back for us and very upsetting. We had the rough cut down to 2:53 and were very excited about getting it down to about 2:15. If this data can be recovered aka the Backup files it is a three to four month delay. If they can’t recover the data it could take up to 6 months to re-do the work and many files would be completely lost. The data recovery will cost $1700, Ouch!!

Hi Everyone! We have been working hard in our spare time which isn’t as much as we would like but progress is happening. He had the rough cut finished at 3:25 and have cut it down to 2:53. Our plan is to get it down, as close to 2hrs as we can. As you can see Bob’s story is very complicated and vastly interesting. It has been difficult make it shorter.

May 14th, 2008 at 6:29 pmWe played last Saturday at Lee Harvey’s and it was a pleasure to have Bob bring his keyboard up on stage with us - spent the entire night playing with us… three full sets. The crowd totally dug it and, and when we made a plea from the mic, came up with a coffee can full of cash for Bob to get a cab ride home. Perfect. if you guys are looking for soundtrack music for the “my name is bob” project, let us know - we’d love to contribute. A bunch of our tunes made the soundtrack of last year’s “Bodacious Boots” documentary featured in the Dallas Film Festival.

June 6th, 2008 at 4:37 pmI met Bob a couple of times at the Thursday night music jam at the Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas. He played his keyboard with some of us there last night and asked me for a ride home when the session was over. On the way, he told me about the web site and I read his history today for the first time. What a touching and inspiring story of overcoming adversity! Bob has known more difficultly than most of us will ever encounter and is an example to all of us of how life is what you make it. Most of us, quick to complain and dwell on the comparatively small problems we face, can learn a lot from Bob’s story. Heather, Lisa, Sebastian, and Bob, I look forward eagerly to your film.

June 22nd, 2008 at 9:52 pmI met Bob last night in Dallas at a bar/music venue where my son-in-law was playing music with his band MATAS. When I first saw him milling around I thought this person must be drunk. He was bouncing up and down as he walked through the crowd. He was carrying around his keyboard and appearing to be having a wonderful time listening to MATAS play. He kept yelling to my son-in-law, “get down, boy.” After the show we ventured downstairs to the bar area and there was Bob. He approached my husband and I and struck up a conversation. He decided to play the wedding march for us since we were celebrating our 22 wedding anniversary. He then played other hymns for us which we were able to distinguish without any problem. We enjoyed Bob and would have given him a ride home but we were traveling with someone else and there was no room left in the car. Some people at the show appeared to be afraid of Bob or give him strange looks but he’d just smile at them and move on. He never asked us for anything but a ride and if we would like to hear him play another tune on his keyboard. I pray that anyone who meets Bob will see him as a special gift from God and will give him the time of day because he deserves as much. God speed Bob and if we meet again, I’ll give you a ride.

Very exciting news! We may have found someone who might Executive Produce
along with us. We are talking with a friend of mine who is Executive
Director of the Mind Science Foundation in San Antonio and the former Texas
Film Commissioner.
He is going to help us find funding to finish the film, but also, he has a
contact with a world-renowned medical doctor who can help us with our
chapter “Medical Opinion.”
Needless to say, we’re very excited. We’ll keep you posted on the progress.
Have a Great Day!

Recently we had a new post to this topic see below:

October 20th, 2007 at 2:30 pm Bob asked me for a ride one time in front of Premiere video. I said no with a lame excuse. I asked inside about the short, keyboard holding man. Sam told me that Bob was a very nice man that would not hurt a fly. I had changed my mine but when I looked he was gone.Two weeks later I saw Bob again in front of the video store. I asked him if he needed a ride and of course he said yes. The ride I had with Bob was memorable. Everything I have read about Bob on this site seems so accurate in what I experienced in 15 minutes.In my everyday hustle and bustle, I forget that there are truly outstanding people out there with hearts of gold that I just don’t let in. It made me feel good that I could give Bob a ride. It made me feel better that I was fortunate to meet a person with a heart of gold.
Although I don’t think anyone really thinks that Bob is G-O-D. It certainly has been fun thinking and talking about it. The other day I had a mental discovery. I saw a room full of people in the same way Bob does. I’m like most, I think, as I inter a large room full of people, like a restaurant, I sit somewhat quietly and keep to myself. Most social educate that I have learned in my life says “Don’t bother the people then they are eating” or “Just because we are in the same room doesn’t mean I want to talk to you.”
Bob simply see a room full of people as an opportunity to talk to as many people as he can in the smallest amount of space. Like a politician or a profit, aka salesman.

Hi… I was fortunate enough to meet Bob on the last day of the State Fair. My boyfriend and I gave him a ride home to the Mockingbird Jason’s Deli. I live very close to there so it was quite a surprise that he specifically asked us out of a crowd of people if we would take him to Mockingbird…. that’s exactly where we were going! I feel like God put us there to take him home that night, like God was watching after Bob.
He made a huge impact on me after he made me laugh so hard in the car that I cried… so I baked him some pumpkin bread to say thank you. I would like to bring it to him and am going to try to find his house on Reiger Street or look for him around the Pocket Sandwhich Theatre today. I had his phone number but recently lost my phone contacts. I am glad to see someone else out there cares about Bob. If you have an idea of where he might be today, please let me know. His pumpkin bread is waiting.

Hi Christie
Thanks for the post. You could probably leave the cake at the Pocket Sandwich Theater for him. He doesn’t live on Reiger any more. He lives in an apt behind the shopping mall where the Pocket is.
You can also send me and email at info@hisnameisbob.com
Thanks, Great story.
