Hey guys!

Once again I would like to apologize for my lack of posting to the site. I have been so busy with school and work! I didn’t think that the work in my program would take up as much time as it has been. Somethings take less time for me because its stuff I’ve known how to do for quite a while. Other things are just very tedious and take a long time no matter how much experience I have.

On top of that I am also working a part-time job which is taking up the rest of my time. Hopefully, I’ll be able to do some updating during my Christmas break, which is coming up really soon. I have 8 days of classes left! Excluding the weekend. I will be travelling a bit during the time I have off but hopefully I’ll be able to post some new stuff to the site.

I haven’t been completely neglecting my whole Jake Epstein fan world though. Some of you may have noticed that I have been posting, somewhat regularly, on Twitter. So I’m going to say, for more up to date info and media stuff (primarily Spring Awakening related) you should follow the site’s Twitter page: twitter.com/JakeEpstein_net. (If you want to be stalker-ish and follow me personally, I’m at twitter.com/andKeira) Like, I said, I post fairly often on Twitter because it’s short and quick and takes less effort than posting here. I have posted a bunch of links from YouTube when I come across any videos of Jake (most of which are from the Spring Awakening YouTube page) I post them immediately after I find them. They are linked from our YouTube page (youtube.com/jakeepsteinnet) as well in favourites and in playlists, so you can always find them.

Anyways, sorry, my brain is a little scattered right now. I think I covered everything. Now I have a math assignment to finish! Yay.

Tomorrow is December! I haven’t seen much for snow yet this year. I’m totally ok with that! lol But happy December everyone. I’ll try to update again soon, I promise.

For those of you who are curious, I posted some questions for Jake on the Totally Trucked blog for his Video Profile. Here’s what I posted:

Hi Jake,

First of all, I just want to say that you are one of my favourite actors! I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw you on The Zack Files, as Cam Dunleavey. It was one of my favourite shows on YTV back then. So of course I was extremely excited when I found out you were joining the cast of Degrassi, because I was already a fan of the show from the first season. I would love to see you in Spring Awakening but the show isn’t  coming anywhere near where I live.

So, on with the questions!

In television, usually (if you exclude soap operas lol) when someone joins the cast of a show after it has been on for a while, they’re playing a new character, like you did as Craig in season 2 of Degrassi. But in large theatre productions, like Spring Awakening, it tends to be different, obviously. When you joined the cast of Spring Awakening you were taking over a character that had previously been played by some very talented actors. Even though most of the audience seeing you in the role may not have seen the previous actors’ take on the character of Melchior, was it intimidating for you in any way taking over the role? How did it affect your way of looking at and preparing for the role?

I was also wondering if you’re planning to do any more work in television or movies in the near future? Or are you just planning to stay focused on Spring Awakening for right now?

And one last question: Since you/Craig were a part of the Degrassi Movie, can you say whether or not Craig will return to Degrassi at all in season 9? Even just a small cameo?

If you want to ask Jake a question, make sure you post them on the Totally Tucked blog post before October 23rd!

Jake will be the next cast member of the Spring Awakening Tour to do a video profile! Here’s the tweet that was posted on Twitter this afternoon:

Our next Profile of the Month is Jake Epstein. Post your question on the Blog. Deadline is 10/23. Here is the blog http://bit.ly/POMJake
http://twitter.com/springtour/status/4663835284

So if you have any questions you want to ask Jake, make sure you post them on the Totally Trucked blog!

I’m going to try and come up with a few to ask too but I’m one of those people who wouldn’t ever know what to say to someone even remotely famous meeting them for the first time, or even in a situation like this where I’m not even talking to them directly. So I would be a terrible interviewer I guess lol. But I’ll see if I can come up with something that hopefully won’t be asked by a million other people.

Just a quick post here. I’m about to go to the library but I had been planning to post this before I went for supper and left it open and of course forgot about it lol.

Jake was in Rolling Stone along with some other Degrassi TNG stars. The article is about  I’ll probably add it to the press section later, but here’s the link to the page specifically about Jake:

That’s all for now.

Just a quick post! I’m heading to see Transformers 2 right away but I had to post this video. My two favourite guys in the world are in it: Jake Epstein and Kyle Riabko, obviously since its the cast of Spring Awakening.
