We may be moving the Stash Bash by another week to October 12th. More info soon.

We're still working through all the essays. Results announced next week, probably.

I'm shooting another Panasonic commercial this week, Thursday and Friday, this time for the
Panasonic DVD Recorder. The difference this time out is that I'm not only directing the spot,
I'm in it too. I'll throw it up here as soon as it's done.

For those in L.A. - looks like we'll be doing another midnight screening/Q&A at the NuArt in
November. The Cannes cut of "Dogma" will screen the Friday after Thanksgiving.

You've seen the Dixie Cup Brodie figure already. Pretty cool. For the youngster who asked
about doing the interchangeable hands: good idea. Wish I'd thought of it. Sadly, all the
Brodie figs holding the comic were done months back (cast, painted, carded) and are on
their way back from China as we speak, and the Con exclusive. In order to include a Dixie
Cup hand with each, we'd have to send all the figs back, trash all the packaging, alter each
figure by hand to make the appendages interchangeable, re-card and package the figs, and
send them back here for distribution - all of which would be cost-prohibitive unless we
double the price of the figure (not to mention defeat the purpose of the "Inaction" figure). I
wish we'd thought of doing the Dixie Cup from the get-go, but we weren't that clever,
apparently. In fact, it wasn't until Brad and Chris started lobbying for the Dixie Cup Brodie
that it occurred to me that THAT would've been the ideal Brodie figure. Happily, the Dallas
Wizard Con came up, which afforded us the opportunity to do a small run of Dixie Cup
variants to at least somewhat rectify our error (besides - it felt too early to roll out the
Golgothan, the original choice for the Con exclusive).

Anyway, don't know why I'm over-explaining this. But when I read the kid's post, I was like
"Yeah - why didn't we do that?" So I guess this post is more me thinking aloud than
anything else. Sorry.

Anyway, that's all for now.
