He is a modern Indian in a modern world, struggling to find his roots. Set on the Fort Belknap Reservation, the novel shows with stark, unromantic and unflinchingly realistic imagery life on the reservation and one man’s struggle to find his identity through a haze of alcohol, anger and meaningless sex. It is partly based on the life that Author James Welch knew and saw while growing up.

NBC Open Casting Calls for Americas Next Great Restaurant
*** This casting has expired as of 5-2010 ***
NBC has announced the new alternative-competitive series Americas Next Great Restaurant – from Magical Elves the Emmy Award-nominated producers of “Project Runway” and "Top Chef” - that will allow contestants to vie for arguably the biggest prize in reality show history - the opportunity to open a new restaurant chain in four cities across America.
The contestants’ fate will be decided by a panel of real investors who fund the chain of restaurants with their own money. As the competitors chase their American dream, viewers will also be fully engaged with interactive elements online at nbc.com.
The announcement was made by Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, NBC and Universal Media Studios. "This is the first time the culinary and business worlds have come together in a big event series where the prize is one of the largest in reality TV history," said Telegdy. "Not only will viewers get to watch the competition unfold, they'll be able to eat at the winning restaurant immediately after the show's finale."
“This show is going to make the American Dream come true for someone out there - all they need is one great idea,” said executive producer Dan Cutforth. Added executive producer, Jane Lipsitz, “With a prize of this magnitude, we believe this show will bring together everything we love about reality TV; creative passionate contestants, a dynamic panel of experts, and fierce competition.”
Americas Next Great Restaurant challenges its creative and ambitious contestants to realize their dream of opening the next great restaurant. However, achieving that goal requires substantial financial backing and business connections that few people can claim.
The winner will be selected by a panel of some of the most important names in both the dining and business worlds who will invest their own money in the final restaurant chain and have a huge stake in the game’s winner. Thousands of ideas will be narrowed down as each week the investors will put the chosen few through rigorous challenges to discover whose plan has the greatest potential for success. The stakes have never been higher for the contestants and the investors. The series will showcase larger-than-life personalities who will offer the hopeful restaurateurs expertise, support - and the kind of tough love it will take to overcome great odds. Ultimately, after a much-heated debate, the panel will choose the winning concept and decide whose idea will be America’s newest restaurant.
In 2009, the U.S. restaurant industry was a $566 billion business. “Americas Next Great Restaurant” will offer a lucky American who has a great idea the chance to be a vital part of that industry.

Open Auditions for The Smashing Pumpkins
Billy Corgan is ready to restart Smashing Pumpkins with a brand new line up. He is holding OPEN auditions for a bassist and keyboard player. You could be jamming with Billy Corgan. You could be a Smashing Pumpkin. This is legit. Billy Corgan is the frontman of the successful band The Smashing Pumpkins and organized the band.
Why is Billy holding an open audition to novice musicians? Here's why, last year Billy was successful in finding a drummer through this kind of open audition process. So when his bassist, Ginger Pooley, left the band to raise her new baby with her husband, Billy decided to try it again. And let's face it, we have all heard the stories of Billy being a creative control freak so it is probably easier for him to mold someone fresh as opposed to someone seasoned.
In Billy's own words:
"Although I am heartbroken that Ginger is leaving the group, I really respect her decision to put her family first. I appreciate everything that she has contributed to The Smashing Pumpkins, and I'm proud of her for being such a great musician and friend. We were lucky enough to find drummer Mike Byrne through an open audition process, so why not open the doors again to anyone who might be interested for the bass or keyboard position. As you can see from our past and present, age, race, or a person's background is not an issue. Everyone is truly welcome to audition.”
Until a new bassist is found, Mark Tulin of The Electric Prunes - with whom BILLY toured last year in Spirits In The Sky - will fill in on an interim basis. Look for The Pumpkins to soon announce a world tour including dates in the U.S.
If you think you have what it takes to be in The Smashing Pumpkins, you can send background info (including age, a resume of any bands/recorded work), photos and performance web links via email only:
Bass Players - PumpkinsBass@gmail.com
Keyboard Players - PumpkinsKeys@gmail.com
Note: only musicians with video clips can be considered. Youtube.com type posts are perfect--that's how drummer Mike Byrne was found.
