BILLY MAHONEY goes to New Smyrna

This is Dan Iosue.  If it weren't for him and his hospitality, this episode wouldn't have been done.  He and I were good friends at the time we shot this episode.  We met at a business meeting for Lemo USA back in '99.  We became friends.  Around a year later I went to Florida for some time off and I asked Dan if I could bring the camera and I'm sure he suggested we do some "Billy Mahoney" stuff while I was there.  I was all for it.  Dan became a fan of "Billy Mahoney" when I showed him the first episode.  It was destined to happen.  Not to mention, his friends were totally game with the idea.  And it totally worked.  We gave each other a motive and let the characters come to life.  That weekend was so fun, I got to stay in Dan's little apartment on the ocean strip, run on the beach and breath the clean air.
