Thanks for the friend invite.
The Pit And The Pendulum has always been one of my favorites. Been in 3 movies since moving to AZ. 2 years ago. Perhaps someday I will get to work with you. If you ever need a real life escape artist I am ready.
Good luck in all ventures.

P.S. I know Dave Staley. A good friend and a great performer.

Cheers,
Lady Sandy
