'''SonicBlu Darkfold''', or just '''SonicBlu''' (real name '''Brett Blumfield'''; born May 19, 1972), is an [[artist]] that portrays a [[Wikipedia:Dilophosaurus|Dilophosaurus]] ([[dinosaur]]) character online who lives in [[Wikipedia:Columbus, Ohio|Columbus, Ohio]], USA. He made his first Guest of Honor (GOH) appearance at [[Wild Nights 2012]].

== Fandom involvement ==

SonicBlu officially entered the fandom in 1997, when he had begun to write [[stories]] alongside his job, mostly pertaining to manual labor work. Because he kept constantly active and athletic, SonicBlu was never the type to sit still for too long.

At [[convention]]s, SonicBlu performs in [[variety show]]s and/or [[masquerade]]s. From 2005-2007, he was a horror author and headed the [[Furry Writers of Ohio]] (FWO). In November 2005, a local movie making company granted him with yet another endeavor, which increased his interest in acting. Since 2004, SonicBlu started recording furry and non-furry [[Wikipedia:Parody music|parodies]] of popular music; his albums are available for purchase at any convention he attends. In addition to the parody productions, he also hosts a nightly classic rock and oldies internet radio show, featuring voice impersonations of his zany cast of co-hosts and celebrities, some of which appear on his [[puppet]] show, Oh! Pawpets!

== Biography ==
=== Broadcasting ===

While living in [[Wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], colleagues, friends, and people he would meet on a daily basis suggested to SonicBlu that he should look into radio broadcasting. Through his extensive knowledge of classic rock and oldies, naturally deep voice, and outgoing personality, he decided to create five demo tapes of his broadcasting style and his ability to provide impromptu commentaries.

He worked feverishly on five demo tapes, which displayed these and many other qualities that would get him airtime for a radio show, including voice talents, celebrity impersonations, and knowledge of musical history. He set out for the only radio station in town, headed by a DJ he once knew in passing. He handed the demo tapes over to the head DJ, who took an immediate liking to the style and material being used.

Unfortunately, the DJ informed him that his style and personality was "too loud for a small, quiet town," and that he should "consider taking the show to a bigger city with a bigger audience." Not knowing whether to smile or frown at the news, SonicBlu put away his desires for broadcasting, and concentrated on his regular work duties.

=== Joy and misfortune ===

SonicBlu moved from New Mexico to Baltimore, where he started becoming more interested in writing after a visit to [[Anthrocon]] in 2000. Just a few months later, SonicBlu sustained a major spinal injury at his workplace, which put him out of commission from performing hard labor jobs, and also restricted his standing and sitting times. Though he had always considered himself to be a hard worker and the only one who didn't mind doing the majority of housework, he could not stand to be completely helpless in the face of the working world.

=== Words and music ===

He began concentrating more on his writing career, and in 2003, he published his first non-furry horror novel, which was a revision of ''The Outer Realm'' -- an old manuscript he originally started in the winter of 1996. By this time, he wrote eight furry stories, and was already beginning work on his second non-furry horror novel. A full year later marked the finalization of ''Brandish Mountain''. SonicBlu is currently considering the release of his longer works of fiction with two separate publishers. His shorter works of literature -- including quarterly articles -- can be seen regularly in the horror magazines ''Night to Dawn'' and ''Wicked Karnival''. Online magazines such as ''Naked Snake Online'' and ''Dark Walls'' have also featured his poetry.

SonicBlu did not stop at these writings. During [[Mephit Furmeet 7]] in 2003, he met with a [[PlanetFurry]] moderator, who mentioned a story-posting forum he may have found interesting. Later that weekend, he also learned of the community's radio broadcaster server, which caught SonicBlu's immediate attention and re-opened the door of opportunity on one of his many dream jobs.

=== Time Machine Show ===
[[File:timemachineshowsm2.gif|right|frame|The Time Machine Show]]
A few months later, SonicBlu started the '''Time Machine Show''', which was based on the five demo tapes he made years ago.

The '''Time Machine Show''' is an online radio broadcast which features classic rock and oldies from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and early 80's. The show began in October 2003 and is hosted by [[SonicBlu]]. Music played includes [[wikipedia:classic rock|classic rock]], [[wikipedia:hard rock|hard rock]], [[wikipedia:Heavy metal music|heavy metal]], [[wikipedia:doo-wop|doo-wop]], [[wikipedia:rockabilly|rockabilly]], [[wikipedia:Psychedelic music|psychedelic]], [[wikipedia:pop music|pop]], [[wikipedia:folk music|folk music]], [[wikipedia:blues|blues]], [[wikipedia:jazz|jazz]], and [[wikipedia:soul music|soul]]. The show is co-hosted by a wise-cracking drunkard named Bar Hoppin' Bill and a retired Vietnam War sergeant major named Mad Cajun. The Time Machine Show usually runs from 10:00 PM until approximately 3:00 AM EST. The show has even been known to occasionally run until 7:00 AM.

The show has been running for what would have been two solid years, but he was forced to take a nine-month hiatus due to lack of income to pay for an internet connection. During his downtime, SonicBlu concentrated on whatever paying projects he could find, which came from a few regular submissions made to horror magazines that continue to feature his literature. The Time Machine Show returned to internet radio with a new time schedule, and it still runs to this day. The show is aired via [[Wikipedia:Shoutcast|Shoutcast]] on weeknights from 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM Eastern time.

At times, SonicBlu will resort to celebrity impersonations to produce a more realistic feel of sending his listeners back in time to the prime ages of classic rock & roll. He is also known to provide voice talents for the show's comic relief.

=== Celebrities take an interest ===

Some of the celebrities that have appeared on the Time Machine Show via phone-in include:
* '''Eddy Medora''' (Former lead guitarist/vocalist of '''[[Wikipedia:The Sunrays|The Sunrays]]''')
* '''[[Wikipedia:David Kaffinetti|David Kaffinetti]]''' (Keyboardist for 60s group '''[[Wikipedia:Rare Bird|Rare Bird]]''' and the mock group '''[[Wikipedia:Spinal Tap (band)|Spinal Tap]]''')
* '''[[Wikipedia:Christopher Young|Christopher Young]]''' (Musical composer for films such as ''[[Wikipedia:The Grudge|The Grudge]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Exorcism of Emily Rose|Exorcism of Emily Rose]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge|Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge]]'')
* '''Fat Momma''' (Final contestant on [[Wikipedia:Who Wants to Be a Superhero? (season 1)|season 1 of ''Who Wants to Be a Superhero?'']]'' on the [[Wikipedia:Sci-Fi Channel|Sci-Fi Channel]])

=== Friends and performances ===

After his visit to [[Anthrocon]] 2004, he met with [[furry artist]] [[David Von Foxkin]] for the first time, where he welcomed the newcomer into the convention crowd by getting his [[fursuiting]] friends to surround him in an ever-growing group hug ([[furpile]]). Seeing how happy it made Foxkin, SonicBlu kept in touch with him on a regular basis.

A few months later, SonicBlu attended [[Mephit Furmeet]], where he considered performing during [[Wikipedia:Karaoke|karaoke]] night. His plans fell through: he got up enough courage right before the crew was ready to break down the equipment. With disappointment in his heart, he returned home, where he began to collect instrumental backing tracks to popular music. He practiced his poetic writing skills, audio mixing abilities, and singing voice to produce his own parody songs.

The first song he recorded was a tribute to Foxkin's "furpile" moment, entitled ''Pile of Furries'' (a parody of ''Ring of Fire'' by '''[[Wikipedia:Johnny Cash|Johnny Cash]]'''). Many more parodies were written -- one after the other -- before he realized he had enough material to fill at least three albums. SonicBlu put his writings aside momentarily to work on honing his singing/songwriting abilities, and ended up recording, mixing, and producing his first four albums, which included coming up with cover designs for each of them.

=== Film making and the Oh! Pawpets! Show ===

In 2005, his friend [[Siege a Ferios|Siege]] shone a light upon the opportunity for him to appear in a horror film that was being locally shot. He was included with the cast in a matter of a few days, and went on to offer his insight and acting/voice talents for the film. The movie is entitled ''Wormwood''.

By Spring of 2009, SonicBlu was introduced into the world of puppetry by Wolfdog, who ran sound and video for PA Pets Live. Having provided voice acting talents on his own radio show, SonicBlu had plenty of voices to provide for the newly formed [[Oh! Pawpets!]] Show, which continued where PA Pets Live left off. To this date, SonicBlu provides voices for and operates over twenty different puppets.

As the seasons for Oh! Pawpets! continued on, SonicBlu started involving the show into its own productions, where all the pre-filmed footage is shot. Oh! Pawpets! Pwoductions' first full length motion picture was Paw II (a complete re-write of the [[Wikipedia:Saw (film)|Saw]] movie series, done to puppets) which was a sequel to the series of short videos that aired on the Oh! Pawpets! Show the previous year. Oh! Pawpets! Pwoductions are planning on re-filming Paw I to better coincide with the story line to its sequel.

'''SonicBlu Darkfold''', or just '''SonicBlu''' (real name '''Brett Blumfield'''; born May 19, 1972), is an [[artist]] that portrays a [[Wikipedia:Dilophosaurus|Dilophosaurus]] ([[dinosaur]]) character online who lives in [[Wikipedia:Columbus, Ohio|Columbus, Ohio]], USA. He made his first Guest of Honor (GOH) appearance at [[Wild Nights 2012]].

== Fandom involvement ==

== Biography ==
=== Broadcasting ===

While living in [[Wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], colleagues, friends, and people he would meet on a daily basis suggested to SonicBlu that he should look into radio broadcasting. Through his extensive knowledge of classic rock and oldies, naturally deep voice, and outgoing personality, he decided to create five demo tapes of his broadcasting style and his ability to provide impromptu commentaries.

He worked feverishly on five demo tapes, which displayed these and many other qualities that would get him airtime for a radio show, including voice talents, celebrity impersonations, and knowledge of musical history. He set out for the only radio station in town, headed by a DJ he once knew in passing. He handed the demo tapes over to the head DJ, who took an immediate liking to the style and material being used.

Unfortunately, the DJ informed him that his style and personality was "too loud for a small, quiet town," and that he should "consider taking the show to a bigger city with a bigger audience." Not knowing whether to smile or frown at the news, SonicBlu put away his desires for broadcasting, and concentrated on his regular work duties.

=== Joy and misfortune ===

SonicBlu moved from New Mexico to Baltimore, where he started becoming more interested in writing after a visit to [[Anthrocon]] in 2000. Just a few months later, SonicBlu sustained a major spinal injury at his workplace, which put him out of commission from performing hard labor jobs, and also restricted his standing and sitting times. Though he had always considered himself to be a hard worker and the only one who didn't mind doing the majority of housework, he could not stand to be completely helpless in the face of the working world.

=== Words and music ===

He began concentrating more on his writing career, and in 2003, he published his first non-furry horror novel, which was a revision of ''The Outer Realm'' -- an old manuscript he originally started in the winter of 1996. By this time, he wrote eight furry stories, and was already beginning work on his second non-furry horror novel. A full year later marked the finalization of ''Brandish Mountain''. SonicBlu is currently considering the release of his longer works of fiction with two separate publishers. His shorter works of literature -- including quarterly articles -- can be seen regularly in the horror magazines ''Night to Dawn'' and ''Wicked Karnival''. Online magazines such as ''Naked Snake Online'' and ''Dark Walls'' have also featured his poetry.

SonicBlu did not stop at these writings. During [[Mephit Furmeet 7]] in 2003, he met with a [[PlanetFurry]] moderator, who mentioned a story-posting forum he may have found interesting. Later that weekend, he also learned of the community's radio broadcaster server, which caught SonicBlu's immediate attention and re-opened the door of opportunity on one of his many dream jobs.

=== Time Machine Show ===
[[File:timemachineshowsm2.gif|right|frame|The Time Machine Show]]
A few months later, SonicBlu started the '''Time Machine Show''', which was based on the five demo tapes he made years ago.

The '''Time Machine Show''' is an online radio broadcast which features classic rock and oldies from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and early 80's. The show began in October 2003 and is hosted by [[SonicBlu]]. Music played includes [[wikipedia:classic rock|classic rock]], [[wikipedia:hard rock|hard rock]], [[wikipedia:Heavy metal music|heavy metal]], [[wikipedia:doo-wop|doo-wop]], [[wikipedia:rockabilly|rockabilly]], [[wikipedia:Psychedelic music|psychedelic]], [[wikipedia:pop music|pop]], [[wikipedia:folk music|folk music]], [[wikipedia:blues|blues]], [[wikipedia:jazz|jazz]], and [[wikipedia:soul music|soul]]. The show is co-hosted by a wise-cracking drunkard named Bar Hoppin' Bill and a retired Vietnam War sergeant major named Mad Cajun. The Time Machine Show usually runs from 10:00 PM until approximately 3:00 AM EST. The show has even been known to occasionally run until 7:00 AM.

The show has been running for what would have been two solid years, but he was forced to take a nine-month hiatus due to lack of income to pay for an internet connection. During his downtime, SonicBlu concentrated on whatever paying projects he could find, which came from a few regular submissions made to horror magazines that continue to feature his literature. The Time Machine Show returned to internet radio with a new time schedule, and it still runs to this day. The show is aired via [[Wikipedia:Shoutcast|Shoutcast]] on weeknights from 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM Eastern time.

At times, SonicBlu will resort to celebrity impersonations to produce a more realistic feel of sending his listeners back in time to the prime ages of classic rock & roll. He is also known to provide voice talents for the show's comic relief.

=== Celebrities take an interest ===

Some of the celebrities that have appeared on the Time Machine Show via phone-in include:
* '''Eddy Medora''' (Former lead guitarist/vocalist of '''[[Wikipedia:The Sunrays|The Sunrays]]''')
* '''[[Wikipedia:David Kaffinetti|David Kaffinetti]]''' (Keyboardist for 60s group '''[[Wikipedia:Rare Bird|Rare Bird]]''' and the mock group '''[[Wikipedia:Spinal Tap (band)|Spinal Tap]]''')
* '''[[Wikipedia:Christopher Young|Christopher Young]]''' (Musical composer for films such as ''[[Wikipedia:The Grudge|The Grudge]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Exorcism of Emily Rose|Exorcism of Emily Rose]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge|Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge]]'')
* '''Fat Momma''' (Final contestant on [[Wikipedia:Who Wants to Be a Superhero? (season 1)|season 1 of ''Who Wants to Be a Superhero?'']]'' on the [[Wikipedia:Sci-Fi Channel|Sci-Fi Channel]])

=== Friends and performances ===

After his visit to [[Anthrocon]] 2004, he met with [[furry artist]] [[David Von Foxkin]] for the first time, where he welcomed the newcomer into the convention crowd by getting his [[fursuiting]] friends to surround him in an ever-growing group hug ([[furpile]]). Seeing how happy it made Foxkin, SonicBlu kept in touch with him on a regular basis.

A few months later, SonicBlu attended [[Mephit Furmeet]], where he considered performing during [[Wikipedia:Karaoke|karaoke]] night. His plans fell through: he got up enough courage right before the crew was ready to break down the equipment. With disappointment in his heart, he returned home, where he began to collect instrumental backing tracks to popular music. He practiced his poetic writing skills, audio mixing abilities, and singing voice to produce his own parody songs.

The first song he recorded was a tribute to Foxkin's "furpile" moment, entitled ''Pile of Furries'' (a parody of ''Ring of Fire'' by '''[[Wikipedia:Johnny Cash|Johnny Cash]]'''). Many more parodies were written -- one after the other -- before he realized he had enough material to fill at least three albums. SonicBlu put his writings aside momentarily to work on honing his singing/songwriting abilities, and ended up recording, mixing, and producing his first four albums, which included coming up with cover designs for each of them.

=== Film making and the Oh! Pawpets! Show ===

In 2005, his friend [[Siege a Ferios|Siege]] shone a light upon the opportunity for him to appear in a horror film that was being locally shot. He was included with the cast in a matter of a few days, and went on to offer his insight and acting/voice talents for the film. The movie is entitled ''Wormwood''.

By Spring of 2009, SonicBlu was introduced into the world of puppetry by Wolfdog, who ran sound and video for PA Pets Live. Having provided voice acting talents on his own radio show, SonicBlu had plenty of voices to provide for the newly formed [[Oh! Pawpets!]] Show, which continued where PA Pets Live left off. To this date, SonicBlu provides voices for and operates over twenty different puppets.

As the seasons for Oh! Pawpets! continued on, SonicBlu started involving the show into its own productions, where all the pre-filmed footage is shot. Oh! Pawpets! Pwoductions' first full length motion picture was Paw II (a complete re-write of the [[Wikipedia:Saw (film)|Saw]] movie series, done to puppets) which was a sequel to the series of short videos that aired on the Oh! Pawpets! Show the previous year. Oh! Pawpets! Pwoductions are planning on re-filming Paw I to better coincide with the story line to its sequel.

'''SonicBlu Darkfold''', or just '''SonicBlu''' (real name '''Brett Blumfield'''; born May 19, 1972), is an [[artist]] that portrays a [[Wikipedia:Dilophosaurus|Dilophosaurus]] ([[dinosaur]]) character online who lives in [[Wikipedia:Columbus, Ohio|Columbus, Ohio]], USA. He made his first Guest of Honor (GOH) appearance at [[Wild Nights 2012]].

== Fandom involvement ==

SonicBlu officially entered the fandom in 1997, when he had begun to write [[stories]] alongside his job, mostly pertaining to manual labor work. Because he kept constantly active and athletic, SonicBlu was never the type to sit still for too long.

At [[convention]]s, SonicBlu performs in [[variety show]]s and/or [[masquerade]]s. From 2005-2007, he was a horror author and headed the [[Furry Writers of Ohio]] (FWO). In November 2005, a local movie making company granted him with yet another endeavor, which increased his interest in acting. Since 2004, SonicBlu started recording furry and non-furry [[Wikipedia:Parody music|parodies]] of popular music; his albums are available for purchase at any convention he attends. In addition to the parody productions, he also hosts a nightly classic rock and oldies internet radio show, featuring voice impersonations of his zany cast of co-hosts and celebrities, some of which appear on his [[puppet]] show, Oh! Pawpets!

== Biography ==
=== Broadcasting ===

While living in [[Wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]], colleagues, friends, and people he would meet on a daily basis suggested to SonicBlu that he should look into radio broadcasting. Through his extensive knowledge of classic rock and oldies, naturally deep voice, and outgoing personality, he decided to create five demo tapes of his broadcasting style and his ability to provide impromptu commentaries.

He worked feverishly on five demo tapes, which displayed these and many other qualities that would get him airtime for a radio show, including voice talents, celebrity impersonations, and knowledge of musical history. He set out for the only radio station in town, headed by a DJ he once knew in passing. He handed the demo tapes over to the head DJ, who took an immediate liking to the style and material being used.

Unfortunately, the DJ informed him that his style and personality was "too loud for a small, quiet town," and that he should "consider taking the show to a bigger city with a bigger audience." Not knowing whether to smile or frown at the news, SonicBlu put away his desires for broadcasting, and concentrated on his regular work duties.

=== Joy and misfortune ===

SonicBlu moved from New Mexico to Baltimore, where he started becoming more interested in writing after a visit to [[Anthrocon]] in 2000. Just a few months later, SonicBlu sustained a major spinal injury at his workplace, which put him out of commission from performing hard labor jobs, and also restricted his standing and sitting times. Though he had always considered himself to be a hard worker and the only one who didn't mind doing the majority of housework, he could not stand to be completely helpless in the face of the working world.

=== Words and music ===

He began concentrating more on his writing career, and in 2003, he published his first non-furry horror novel, which was a revision of ''The Outer Realm'' -- an old manuscript he originally started in the winter of 1996. By this time, he wrote eight furry stories, and was already beginning work on his second non-furry horror novel. A full year later marked the finalization of ''Brandish Mountain''. SonicBlu is currently considering the release of his longer works of fiction with two separate publishers. His shorter works of literature -- including quarterly articles -- can be seen regularly in the horror magazines ''Night to Dawn'' and ''Wicked Karnival''. Online magazines such as ''Naked Snake Online'' and ''Dark Walls'' have also featured his poetry.

SonicBlu did not stop at these writings. During [[Mephit Furmeet 7]] in 2003, he met with a [[PlanetFurry]] moderator, who mentioned a story-posting forum he may have found interesting. Later that weekend, he also learned of the community's radio broadcaster server, which caught SonicBlu's immediate attention and re-opened the door of opportunity on one of his many dream jobs.

=== Time Machine Show ===
[[File:timemachineshowsm2.gif|right|frame|The Time Machine Show]]
A few months later, SonicBlu started the '''Time Machine Show''', which was based on the five demo tapes he made years ago.

The '''Time Machine Show''' is an online radio broadcast which features classic rock and oldies from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and early 80's. The show began in October 2003 and is hosted by [[SonicBlu]]. Music played includes [[wikipedia:classic rock|classic rock]], [[wikipedia:hard rock|hard rock]], [[wikipedia:Heavy metal music|heavy metal]], [[wikipedia:doo-wop|doo-wop]], [[wikipedia:rockabilly|rockabilly]], [[wikipedia:Psychedelic music|psychedelic]], [[wikipedia:pop music|pop]], [[wikipedia:folk music|folk music]], [[wikipedia:blues|blues]], [[wikipedia:jazz|jazz]], and [[wikipedia:soul music|soul]]. The show is co-hosted by a wise-cracking drunkard named Bar Hoppin' Bill and a retired Vietnam War sergeant major named Mad Cajun. The Time Machine Show usually runs from 10:00 PM until approximately 3:00 AM EST. The show has even been known to occasionally run until 7:00 AM.

The show has been running for what would have been two solid years, but he was forced to take a nine-month hiatus due to lack of income to pay for an internet connection. During his downtime, SonicBlu concentrated on whatever paying projects he could find, which came from a few regular submissions made to horror magazines that continue to feature his literature. The Time Machine Show returned to internet radio with a new time schedule, and it still runs to this day. The show is aired via [[Wikipedia:Shoutcast|Shoutcast]] on weeknights from 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM Eastern time.

At times, SonicBlu will resort to celebrity impersonations to produce a more realistic feel of sending his listeners back in time to the prime ages of classic rock & roll. He is also known to provide voice talents for the show's comic relief.

=== Celebrities take an interest ===

Some of the celebrities that have appeared on the Time Machine Show via phone-in include:
* '''Eddy Medora''' (Former lead guitarist/vocalist of '''[[Wikipedia:The Sunrays|The Sunrays]]''')
* '''[[Wikipedia:David Kaffinetti|David Kaffinetti]]''' (Keyboardist for 60s group '''[[Wikipedia:Rare Bird|Rare Bird]]''' and the mock group '''[[Wikipedia:Spinal Tap (band)|Spinal Tap]]''')
* '''[[Wikipedia:Christopher Young|Christopher Young]]''' (Musical composer for films such as ''[[Wikipedia:The Grudge|The Grudge]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Exorcism of Emily Rose|Exorcism of Emily Rose]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge|Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge]]'')
* '''Fat Momma''' (Final contestant on [[Wikipedia:Who Wants to Be a Superhero? (season 1)|season 1 of ''Who Wants to Be a Superhero?'']]'' on the [[Wikipedia:Sci-Fi Channel|Sci-Fi Channel]])

=== Friends and performances ===

After his visit to [[Anthrocon]] 2004, he met with [[furry artist]] [[David Von Foxkin]] for the first time, where he welcomed the newcomer into the convention crowd by getting his [[fursuiting]] friends to surround him in an ever-growing group hug ([[furpile]]). Seeing how happy it made Foxkin, SonicBlu kept in touch with him on a regular basis.

A few months later, SonicBlu attended [[Mephit Furmeet]], where he considered performing during [[Wikipedia:Karaoke|karaoke]] night. His plans fell through: he got up enough courage right before the crew was ready to break down the equipment. With disappointment in his heart, he returned home, where he began to collect instrumental backing tracks to popular music. He practiced his poetic writing skills, audio mixing abilities, and singing voice to produce his own parody songs.

The first song he recorded was a tribute to Foxkin's "furpile" moment, entitled ''Pile of Furries'' (a parody of ''Ring of Fire'' by '''[[Wikipedia:Johnny Cash|Johnny Cash]]'''). Many more parodies were written -- one after the other -- before he realized he had enough material to fill at least three albums. SonicBlu put his writings aside momentarily to work on honing his singing/songwriting abilities, and ended up recording, mixing, and producing his first four albums, which included coming up with cover designs for each of them.

=== Film making and the Oh! Pawpets! Show ===

In 2005, his friend [[Siege a Ferios|Siege]] shone a light upon the opportunity for him to appear in a horror film that was being locally shot. He was included with the cast in a matter of a few days, and went on to offer his insight and acting/voice talents for the film. The movie is entitled ''Wormwood''.

By Spring of 2009, SonicBlu was introduced into the world of puppetry by Wolfdog, who ran sound and video for PA Pets Live. Having provided voice acting talents on his own radio show, SonicBlu had plenty of voices to provide for the newly formed [[Oh! Pawpets!]] Show, which continued where PA Pets Live left off. To this date, SonicBlu provides voices for and operates over twenty different puppets.

As the seasons for Oh! Pawpets! continued on, SonicBlu started involving the show into its own productions, where all the pre-filmed footage is shot. Oh! Pawpets! Pwoductions' first full length motion picture was Paw II (a complete re-write of the [[Wikipedia:Saw (film)|Saw]] movie series, done to puppets) which was a sequel to the series of short videos that aired on the Oh! Pawpets! Show the previous year. Oh! Pawpets! Pwoductions are planning on re-filming Paw I to better coincide with the story line to its sequel.

Oh! Pawpets! Show

2014-06-30T03:50:23Z

99.85.102.168: Additional reference added

[[File:Ohpawpetsthumb.jpg|right|225px|The Oh! Pawpets! Logo from Season 3, featuring the character Bwing T. Fewwet peering through the letter O in Oh!]]
'''Oh! Pawpets! Show''' is a group of [[:Category:Puppetry|puppeteers]] composed of [[SonicBlu|SonicBlu]] and [[Wolfdog (person)|Wolfdog]].<ref>[http://www.ohiopawpets.org/cast.html The Cast]. Retrieved June 6, 2011.</ref> The Oh! Pawpets! Show currently broadcasts every Saturday night from 6pm to 10 PM(EST).

==In The Beginning==
The Oh! Pawpets! Show began as a spin-off from the show PA Pets Live, which started its first stream in May of 2009. During [[Morphicon]] that year, SonicBlu and Wolfdog were returning to the hotel room with SonicBlu's friend KenFox among the group. At this time, SonicBlu noticed Wolfdog was carrying what would later turn out to be the character Bwing T. Fewwet, aptly named for the amount of "bling" he wore around his neck. SonicBlu couldn't resist providing a voice for the ferret puppet, and began to talk using a higher-pitched voice with a slight speech impediment, commenting on how uncomfortable it was to be carried the way he was by Wolfdog. Once the group had entered the hotel room, KenFox handed SonicBlu the ferret puppet with the intention, "if you're going to do it, you might as well do it right", and he immediately began to puppet a routine with it. This was the very first time SonicBlu placed a puppet on his hand and began a routine, and it was then that Wolfdog saw the potential in SonicBlu to become a puppeteer.

The weekend of Morphicon, Wolfdog and SonicBlu return to their nearby apartment and hooked up the video equipment that enabled his former puppet show, PA Pets Live, to stream via the internet. A test episode of the Oh! Pawpets! Show was run and recorded, which was marked as Episode #0. Once satisfied that the new location for the puppet show was successfully able to stream a show, the Oh! Pawpets! Show was born, and Bwing T. Fewwet was the first puppet to be featured on the show. In the first season, SonicBlu provided voice and puppetry for 3 puppets.

==Other Crew Members==

Once the Oh! Pawpets! Show entered its first season, the show consisted of SonicBlu, Wolfdog, and DarkWolf, formerly of PA Pets Live. Because of DarkWolf's uncontrollable and excessive use of "toilet humor", the show was streamed with a mature rating and received very minimal amount of viewers. As the owner of the show, SonicBlu tried to keep the show creative and comical by bringing in new ideas, all of which remained secluded or shunned, due to the overwhelming attitudes of DarkWolf's characters being unable to follow direction. Halfway through the show's second season in 2010, Oh! Pawpets! added Sajin Candour as a third actor, whose puppets consisted of his own fursona, Cryo Jennix, and Slobber the Spaniel. SonicBlu immediately saw Sajin's ability to be spontaneously creative, and immediately accepted him as a new cast member on the spot. Around this time, DarkWolf's appearance on the show became less frequent, until he finally declared that he was no longer going to be a part of the show due to personal reasons, and removed his puppet characters completely from the cast lineup, allowing SonicBlu to regain creative control to turn the show into a less adult program and finally placing his new ideas to work. The ratio of viewers quickly increased after the new changes took effect.

Toward the beginning of the show's third season, Oh! Pawpets! sadly released Sajin Candour from the live show, and SonicBlu was left to do the puppetry and voice acting alone, with the aid of Wolfdog's off-camera commentaries. By this time, SonicBlu provided voice and puppetry for 11 different characters, and decided to take over as the voices of Cryo Jennix and Slobber the Spaniel. While away from the studio, Sajin continued to be a part of the cast by submitting video vlogs entitled "The Flamin' Shamin' Vlogs of Sajin", in which he would talk about anything on his mind, and then switch to a review of the spiciest products he could find, and filing them on a Wall of Flame or Wall of Shame, depending on the level of spiciness.

In February 2011, Oh! Pawpets! relocated their studio to a new location, where the show continues to run to this date. The Oh! Pawpets! Show reached the interest of [[Max Goof]] by June of that year, whose prior puppetry experience was constantly observed by SonicBlu through their friendship. SonicBlu was immediately ready to accept Max Goof as an additional cast member of the show, bringing along his own characters, Ozark, Hayseed, George, and Twitch. Over the following months after becoming a cast member, Max Goof's appearance on the Oh! Pawpets! Show has been sporadic, due to the busy schedule he keeps.

In October 2011, Sajin Candour returned to the studio as a full-time cast member, where he continues to help with the show's live streams and productions. As of January 2012, SonicBlu has provided voice and puppetry for 28 characters, some which utilizes various changing personalities and voices with the same puppet.

==Oh! Pawpets! Pwoductions and the Paw series==
Oh! Pawpets! Pwoductions began during the show's second season, when the cast began making pre-recorded videos, featurettes, commercial spoofs, and music videos for the show, some which have been seen on the [[Funday Pawpet Show]]. In October 2010, the Oh! Pawpets! crew decided to put together a parody spoof of the [[Wikipedia:Saw (film)|Saw]] movies to air on their Halloween episode. The deadline was set for only four days to film, edit, and finalize before the Halloween episode needed to be aired. Working rapidly, SonicBlu (with the assistance of Sajin and co-directed by Rune the Wolf) shot 5 video sequences of some of the Oh! Pawpets! cast being tied up in various traps and given an ultimatum of life and death to escape them. The rest of the action was portrayed during the live show. The result was Oh! Pawpets! Pwoductions' first comedy horror spoof called Paw. After Paw was aired, Oh! Pawpets! viewers wanted to see "more blood and gore", so by 2011, the crew began filming a more serious sequel, removing all comical elements that would normally constitute a work of parody, and adding more horrific scenes in its place, thus resulting in a complete re-write of the original film. Paw II turned out to be the Oh! Pawpets! first full length motion picture, and is due for DVD release through Oh! Pawpets! Pwoductions in January 2012. The Oh! Pawpets! crew will then return to the studio to film a more proper version of the first Paw movie to follow closer to its sequel.

==Connecting and Submitting to the Show==
Viewers are encouraged to actively participate in the creation of the show in various ways. In particular, several regular segments are specifically intended to engage the audience. The preferred way to submit content during the show is via [[Wikipedia:Email|Email]], or in the show's [[Wikipedia:Internet Relay Chat|IRC chatroom]]. All submissions are expected to meet the show's [[Wikipedia:PG_rating|MPAA PG]] [[Wikipedia:content rating|content rating]] to be featured on-screen.

=== Viewer's Choice Videos and Pics===
Viewers are encouraged to submit videos and pictures during the show's live segment "Viewer Choice Videos and Pics". This segment enables viewers to show off their talent as artists or video makers, but the segment also allows links to funny [[Wikipedia:YouTube|YouTube]] videos and various photographs of a comical or strange origin.

===Screen Capture Challenge===
Every episode will feature a chance for viewers to take screen captures of the show and manipulate them, add captions to them, or whatever they wish, in order to deem the screen capture comical. Contest entries are submitted via email. All the screen captures sent in by viewers are collected, and toward the end of the episode, the viewers are asked to vote on whichever screen capture is the funniest. The winning entry will have their screen capture image displayed on the Oh! Pawpets! website until the next time a contest is run.

===Mad Libs and Mad Libs Art Jam===
One of the show's regular segments is the [[Wikipedia:Mad Libs|Mad Libs]]. Typically, two mad libs will be held - one with words provided by the viewers in the IRC channel, and one with words from the crew present in the studio (and characters on the stage). Viewers are encouraged to use entertaining scenes and ideas in the mad libs as inspiration for visual art and submit it to the show via email. Submissions for the Mad Libs Art Jam, or "Art Libs" for short, will be shown on-screen and commented on at the end of the show before the Screen Capture Challenge. Art Libs submissions are excluded from the viewer voting and will be featured on the website until the next episode.

===Subservient Fursuiter===
Sometimes one or more [[Fursuiter|fursuiters]] are present in the studio and a Subservience segment will be held. During the segment, viewers present in the IRC channel are encouraged to propose actions they would like to see the fursuiter(s) perform.
