Concentricity
I got home from the set yesterday to find an envelope with a check and a congratulatory card in it; apparently, Some Analog Lines actually won the Texas Show award at the DVF last month. I guess I should have gone to the afterparty where they announced it - but nonetheless, it was a wonderful surprise. Thanks, Bart and Laura!
And then James called to let me know that it looks like the same film will be taking us to the Austin Film Festival at the end of October. More on that later, but for now, I'll just say: thanks, James, for promoting my films for me, because I sure don't know how to do it myself.
Time for some personal parallelism. I was halfway aware that the table I grabbed on my way out the door that first morning of the production, and on which I set up my editing system on set, was one that I used for all my drawing and art projects when I was growing up in Wisconsin. Later that day, I realized how odd it was that I was sitting behind it once again (cross-legged on the floor where once I could stand upright).
Odd, and strangely comforting, to be creating on the same surface that supported my work a full two decades ago. There's a note on the back of that first picture, dating it at 'Winter 1986.' If I was a little bit more trite, I'd say it's the only thing allowing me to distinguish the two.

Congratulations, well deserved... What happened to the Click thing that I voted on this summer?

Nothing, unfortunately...but being runner-up is still good, and hundreds of people saw it, which is really great.

your setup now is almost as cool as it was when you were a kid.
