That is awesome! I wish I would have thought to go grab confetti!

SAME I WISH I COULD GO BUT NEXT IN 4 YEARS IM GOING

@@Kimmyofh3arts SAMS

Girl same i was so close from going there but my mom said no so i'm sobbing while watching this now

What was the result of the hour long phone call, did they believe your story?

It's sad but most ppl who get them are the VIP 🙃

@@_Justus_279 they’re lucky

Oh yeah, I hated when it would tell me to blow longer or hum stronger 🤣 Best of luck to you! Before you know it, you’ll be driving your car without that thing telling you to blow longer! Hang in there!

@@michaeliorg4980 Thank you very much. I was wondering if others had that problem. I took my car into get an oil change and the mechanic had the same problem. And that’s where I got the thing installed. I told him that made me feel better . lol

@@TOTALCAMARO the installer of my interlock became my mechanic too. I was too embarrassed to take my car anywhere else!

This is awesome!

Comment of the year

Hang in there! You will get through this.

As far as I know, they currently do not detect THC. However, the consequences for driving under the influence with an interlock device already installed are going to be even more extreme. Tell your buddy to be careful.

@@michaeliorg4980 thanks man !

I was so annoyed by all the people walking up and down the stairs during the concert! Why is it so hard for some people to just sit and enjoy the performance!?

What theater is this, by the way?

@@MaidenThailand this is a theater in Utah.

If you get a chance to catch his concert, DO IT! It’s so good.

This is community but there were high school students in the cast.

@@michaeliorg4980 Thanks for responding. I thought it was community cause several actors/actresses looked to old to be high school students. Who did you play?

@@createconsiderconnect3356 I was a frat boy and the admissions guy that says the Oprah Winfrey line.

Bummer! The first time I had an interlock device and I was still actively drinking, a bottle of wine broke in my car and it made me fail a test while I was driving and so I had to pull over and roll all my windows down and then wait until it all cleared out. So, I feel your pain!

Are you saying the handset that you blow in stopped working? Have you been able to get that handset replaced?

I completely agree, so annoying! Just blow like no one is watching! Because believe, no one is! Time will fly by and before you know it, you’ll be getting it taken out. Hang in there!

@@michaeliorg4980 thanks so much buddy I can do it fine when no one is watching but as soon as people in the parking lot start watching I can’t get it.

Yeah, that sounds like a dilemma.

You’re right, an interlock device doesn’t keep you from drinking. I wish you the best of luck as you continue on your journey! Hopefully you’re driving now or at least will be driving soon. I had a similar experience with my first interlock because I was also still actively drinking. My original 1 year was extended to a year and a half because of all the failed attempts to drive my car after drinking.

We had so much fun performing this. I’m so happy you found it and enjoyed watching it! Yes, that stage is small!!! The wing space on each side is less than three feet, but we make it work!

I never had an issue with either of my interlock devices draining my battery. So no, it does not drain your battery. If you have power issues with your car, I would talk to a mechanic or whoever installed your device.

@michaeliorg4980 I feel so much better now that u said that. Thanx yoy so much, Michael. On the smart start site, it says that if your battery voltage is at 12 or below, that you need to charge your car battery or change the whole battery. Also they said that you can check your battery voltage by pressing #2. So I did that and by the grace of GOD, my voltage says 14. I feel so relieved man thanx again

@@MrDatvaguy from personal experience, the only issues that really ever caused me problems was when I was drinking. It’s my opinion that as long as you’re not drinking and trying to use your device, the issues the device might have will be minimal. Hang in there! Time flies and before you know it, you won’t have the device in your vehicle anymore.

I did not choose either of them. Intoxalock was the only option in my area the first time and Smart Start was the only option the second time. They both have their pros and cons. I feel that intoxalock had the better device that was more reliable but smart start was easier to use. I felt the smart start app was really easy to use and I made all my payments through the app. Plus, I made notes on the app every time the device had a malfunction. I recommend going to the App Store and reading the reviews of the two apps for more information. Maybe make a decision based on the reviews.

@@michaeliorg4980 gotcha. Thank you for taking the time to reply. 😀

I’m trying to make the same decision. Although the judge ordered the device install for a year, the state of Florida added an additional year 😫

While this is a very good idea and I certainly agree. However, the outrage it would cause regarding infringement on personal freedom and our right to choose would be insane. Just think of all the people who are already complaining about the requirement to have these in their vehicles after they get a DUI/DWI! Now imagine the people being required to blow in a device to drive who have never been drunk in their life. Also, it would be seen as another way for big business to make money off us common folk.

@michaeliorg4980 I will agree with you on that

There is a technology called DADSS (driver alcohol detection safety system) under development that detects alcohol in the drivers breath passively in ambient air or by using touch based sensors. This technology is eventually going to be mandated in new vehicles.

I’ve been sober just over six years. What has made the biggest difference for me is human connection and knowing why I choose sobriety over drinking. The truth is I really enjoy drinking but I love my life without alcohol even more. One day at a time!

CONGRATS ON THREE WEEKS!!! I’m here for you if you need support.

​@michaeliorg4980 6 years!! That's incredible. I feel the same way you do, I love drinking but I love being sober and in control of my life more.

HELP ME PLEASE SOMEONE- I’ve missed work for the 2nd day now - because I can’t seem to blow hard enough or long enough without becoming to short winded -- I need some serious helpful suggestions

Which device do you have? I had the intoxilock and I couldn’t blow either since I have asthma and COPD. My pulmonologist gave me a drs note requesting that they lower the breathing scale. I have an appt next month with the DMV and hopefully they will approve.

When you blow you need to hum while you blow. Say the word do when you blow and hum it. Like dooooooooooooooo.

Congrats on your sobriety! That totally sucks that you have to have an interlock device. With smart start you don’t have to do the inhale like intoxalock would make you do. You only have to blow into the device while you make a humming sound. My advice would be to not overthink or over stress about it too much. If you use an inhaler, first make sure that it isn’t going to cause a failed blow, but then perhaps use the inhaler before you have to drive anywhere. I don’t have asthma so I don’t have any advice from personal experience. Best of luck! Things usually aren’t as bad as we think they are so hang in there!

@@michaeliorg4980thank you! How many times does it beep while driving? I’m a half hour drive to work and it is stressing me out if this device also beeps every 10 to 15 mins like intoxilock! Please let me know. Thank you!

@@bderbinful the smart start is easier to blow in than the intoxalock. You only have to breathe out while humming. I would guess you will blow once to start and then 2 or 3 times on your drive to work.

Thank you so it will beep every 10 mins. That is really crazy and will definitely stress me out. I know I shouldn’t stress out about it and just do it. I have a drs note asking to lower the breathing scale. Thanks for you kind words of wisdom. Happy new year!

Oh man, I feel your pain! I feel so grateful that I’m past that part of my life. Yeah, if you can get with a different company then I would do that. In my area, smart start was my only option.

I did not add subtitles to this and so that is not under my control. I do not know why you can’t hear the sound, I am able to hear the dialogue just fine.

I hope you get to play them!

If you read the other comments, you’ll find the answer to your question.

OK, I see it was an "unfortunate oversight". Still, someone could have given it a once-over. Measure twice, cut once! I directed a production of it in 1984, when I was 25. It was almost the greatest fun I ever had in the theatre. Sondheim sent me a note to post in the makeup room on opening night. It said "Have fun with it, but not too much, or the audience won't." He made my cast feel special.

@@dogvom oh wow! What an amazing experience for you to have! When I was in this performance, it was only my fourth show in over 20 years, and only my second time editing something as big as this. Yeah, mistakes were made but I have learned from them. I made sure to rewrite the description of this video to start off with the writers of the book.

@@michaeliorg4980 Very good. About that... it shouldn't say "Based on the book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sodheim, ..." but "With a book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, ..." What the book of the musical is _based on_ is several plays by Plautus, the ancient Roman playwright. Also, as was mentioned in a comment below, you left an _n_ out of Sondheim in the description. Those things can easily be fixed. Cheers! Yes, Sondheim had been my mentor for three years when I directed Forum. As mentors do, he would critique my work as a theatre composer for several decades. The scores of three of my shows are in my YT channel if you're interested.

Alcohol is literally one of the worst drugs we can put into our body. Blowing in those devices is the worst! I’m fortunate that I was able to get sober when I did, cause I never want to get caught drinking and driving again. I will literally go to prison for a very long time if I were to get a 4th DUI.

I agree. The sound definitely could be better. However, I’m happy that there is sound.

This was performed in a little venue called the Electric Theater in St George, Utah.
