Rusty DeWees: Entertainer, comedic artist, actor, producer, writer, musician, master of duct tape…and the Logger of course! Rusty does it all and keeps his fans and audiences laughing, as he puts it, "till their backs get better." Rusty grew up in Stowe, Vermont where he was actively involved in theatre throughout high school and college. As a young adult, he performed with the award winning Vermont Repertory Theatre, before moving to New York City where he trained at the George Loris Actors Theatre School and the Lee Strasberg Institute. This professional training was followed by scores of notable roles off-Broadway, and in television, film, and national commercials. Missing his home state, Rusty moved back to Vermont where he continued his acting career and developed the Logger character. An eclectic and innovative act, THE LOGGER one-man comedy show is best described as "Blue Collar Comedy" meets "Prairie Home Companion", and has been steadily selling out theatres, large and small, throughout New England ever since it hit the stage in 1998. The success of the live act has spawned three Logger DVDs, two CDs, five calendars, Logger apparel (duct tape wallets and Logger thongs included), and Scrawlins, a compilation of Rusty's columns for syndicated and regional newspapers. Rusty also writes, voices, directs, and produces radio and television spots for various companies throughout New England, and has always, throughout his career, donated his time to promote positive lifestyle choices among high school age kids.

Back when these cars were the norm we used to sneak from behind a bush or some other obstruction and jump out and grab the bumper and see who could "ski" behind it the longest without falling off (the unsuspecting drivers often chased us if they saw us lol). Seemed I never won until one time I did, everybody fell off but me. The guy driving saw them fall off and turned to go around the block mad.
They saw him coming and took off running to hide. When the car stopped he got out yelling but didn't bother looking for anyone. My friends didn't see me but when the guy pulled away there was my gloves frozen to the bumper. About 5 min later I came walking around the corner, face bloodied. I couldn't let go when they did because my gloves froze to the steel bumper and when the guy turned he turned onto a street where the pavement had dry spots of which one I hit and faceplanted at about 25mph.

Lesson learned. Never wear gloves with wrist buckles when hopping cars lol.

It’s pretty good. Written by Jeff Danials. I saw the play at the Purple Rose Theater in Chelsi. It’s also a film.
