: We may be moving the Stash Bash by another week to October 12th. More info soon.
Not fo' nothing, but I gotta tell work which day I *may* have to take off. I think that this alone should get me in.
: We're still working through all the essays. Results announced next week, probably.
I figured this was going to happen. Dammit.
Question: are there plans in case some of the 300 chosen cancel on you? I can imagine a good deal of people entered on a lark.
: 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.
Jay too? Or any other notable celebrities?
: 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.
Well, I'm in NJ - where's the love, brutha?
I'm kidding.
: 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).
Fuck that guy. Exclusive action figures are cool. (I should know; right now, I'm staring at my autographed B&W Dante)
: Anyway, that's all for now.
Okay. How's the kid liking school?
