jumping off into what's next

So, the past few weeks have all seemed like one really long week. So much has happened and we've gotten a lot of work down.

• We had two more screenings of jumping off bridges.
• We've confirmed two more dates for other screenings.
  
• We're hard at work on publicity for Seattle and Albuquerque (spelling?).
• We've come up with a brand new cut, a new ending, and soon we'll have Justin and Chadwick do their thing with sound and color and there will be a new film.

I'm very proud of this cut of the film. It just works. Kat will spend the week working on cutting a trailer and getting Justin and Chadwick squared away and by the time I get back from Nashville, we'll be close to done. Then it will be time to hit other items on our growing list of todos.

Brain Brawl is proceeding as well. I'll be headed back to FL soon for more meetings..

This weekend Annalise had her little going away sushi/cupcake bash. It was nice to see friends and family. I did something really Momish and had everyone write notes to her in a little book that she can read later.

We start on our road trip to Nashville on Wednesday morning. We have planned stop overs in Memphis to see Graceland and hang out on Beale street. Next we head to Birmingham to see some relatives and my Grandparents old lake house outside of town. They don't live there any more, but the house has still got a lot of them in it, and I haven't been back in way too long. We go back to Nashville on Friday and we'll go to the Opry, then on Sat. a.m. it's time to check her into university. There's some kind of parent night thing on Saturday and then I'll start heading home, to arrive sometime on Sunday. Hopefully by then, the distance between here and her new home won't seem as far as it does right now. It's all just geography anyway, we're close and we care about each other which is more than a lot of families have.

Still, even with Roy Bean's neurotic barking, it's gonna be quiet around here.
