Victimless Crime Spree Celebrates its Third Anniversary!

DJVCS_Poster_Preview[1]

Celebrating three years of DJVCS!

Three years ago today (9/15) was the theatrical début of Derrick J’s Victimless Crime Spree! The feature-length documentary shot mostly in Keene originally came out on YouTube on July 30th, 2012, but the theatrical début is more memorable. The movie’s posters commemorate that date.

Since 2012, the original theatrical version has been seen more than 170,000 times on YouTube and the Director’s Cut DVD has sold hundreds of copies.  It’s available for purchase at Amazon and Wal-Mart for under $10.

Derrick’s courage has set the example for countless people and has inspired multiple people to move to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project.  Any FSP event we attend, it’s almost a guarantee Derrick and/or I will be approached and thanked for making the movie.  Of course, it wouldn’t have been possible without the editing talents of Beau Davis, who has gone on to launch his own media management and production house, Vibrant.Works.

What an honor it has been to produce this amazing documentary film. How are you celebrating the third anniversary of DJVCS? I suggest a screening for friends, family, or even the public!

NH1 Covers Keene Rainbow Bench Controversy

Renee Kate and Jazzy on the Rainbow Bench!

The United Church of Christ‘s response to the vandal(s) attacking their rainbow benches has been stellar – they’ve created a selfie challenge! You are invited to visit the bench with a loved one (or alone) and take a selfie, then post it to social media with the tag #onthebench

Now, NH news media is picking up on the story. Here’s the recent video report and article from NH1.

Detained in Manchester over a license plate light bulb.


While on our way home from a friends party with the co-host of the Rebel Love Show Ann Leverette, we were pulled over by a Manchester police cruiser. The reason for the detention was over a light bulb that apparently went out above the government issued identification plate on the back of my car. Mind you, I have been pulled over many times by Manchester PD at this point. I am assuming it is because of the philosophical stickers on the rear bumper of the vehicle. What was odd this time was that there was a NH State trooper with a Manchester police officer. Both officers have “lively” conversations with me. At the end of the video, I get the Manchester police officer to admit he would gladly “arrest” me over a light bulb if I didn’t pay his boss a ticket of $44.64. I do plan to fight this ticket in court and will update on the results. Just like life, use this video as a learning hospital. How did I handled these two people that had detained us over a light bulb? What should I have done differently?
