Seventh Python at the Wilmette in Chicago

Posted by Bonnie Published in Uncategorized

This is so cool!! Seventh Python played at the Wilmette Theater in Chicago on June 9, followed by a mini concert by Neil. The theater asked me for a nice picture of my CGI quacksie, so I made a nice fresh render for them from my 3D model. Then Burt sends me these pictures, and I find out Neil did his whole concert in front of my Quacksie. I’m all a-tingle!

This is a movie about Neil's life and work and avoidance of fame, centered on two concerts in Los Angeles that were arranged by your webmasters Bonnie & Laurie. Filmmakers Burt Kearns and Brett Hudson filmed the shows, the rehearsals, and general Neil going around stuff, and then spent a long time raising the money to make it even bigger and turn it into a film. They wound up interviewing all the living Pythons (except Terry Gilliam, who went missing when they were England) as well Bonzos and Rutles and artists who were influenced by Neil. They even went to Neil's house in England and filmed him there, as well as Phill Jupitus and John Halsey (aka Barry Wom) at his pub in Cambridge. Then they got me (Bonnie) to do some animation it and VOILA! The Seventh Python is finished. Never thought I'd live to see the day!
