First, the story: FBO Productions is the name given to the projects done by the group consisting of me,my husband and our four best friends,whom we collectively call The Five Big Ones.Occasionally we travel in a pack of six or sometime even eight,in which case we become The Five Big Ones Plus Two,or The Five Big Ones Plus Three. All are creative individuals, each with special talents.

Getting back tot the origin of "FBO",we are called The Five Big Ones because we are not petite,and because of a seating arrangement at a ride at Disney World. When we were about to board the ride, the employee asked,"How many in your party". Tired of always being squashed all in the same car,one of us exclaimed, "Five Big Ones!" . We were then appropriately separated into two rows,and the name stuck.

We celebrated the birth of our new group identity by making our mascots a herd of elephants, and then designing matching T-shirts for future Disney trips. So far, the shirts have been a hit with the park's cast members.

"Turnerween" is our funny little name for a project we volunteer for every year at Turner Studios, where some of us are employed.The event is called "Trick or Treat on Turner Street", or TOTOTS, for short, and it's a big Halloween haunted-hallway sort of thing that winds through the corridors of the studios.There is also a carnival, and trick-or-treating, and Turner employees can bring their kids for a safe and exciting Halloween experience. It's a lot of fun, and my friends truly shine in their various talents of costuming, makeup, set design, graphics and acting!
