I Guess I Never Really Understood the Point of the Book "A Secret Garden"
Posted by erin at July 27, 2004 02:41 PMThis Thursday morning I am leaving the city mega-early with a bunch of crazy dorks to head to Baltimore, Maryland, to go to Otakon, the second-largest anime con held in the U.S.
So naturally, since I'm out of town this weekend, several important things are happening that normally I'd go to great lengths not to miss.
Sam is watching Tampopo, one of my favorite movies, and making ramen - one of my favorite foods. The ramen will either be homemade or the fancy kind you get from Japanese grocers. Somehow I missed it the last time she made ramen, too.
Jay is leaving town for med school, and I might have to miss his going-away dinner! Auuug! I don't want to miss that.
To top everything off, that film I worked on after I graduated, called Shelter, is making its New York City debut on Friday at the Latino film festival. I have never seen this movie, and my name is in the credits! I was the boom operator. I guess the film's been doing well since it won the IFP Market Award, which I heard about. It played at the Sundance film festival, it won some awards at other festivals, and it will play at Cannes and in the Berlin film festival, which is just about as good as any low-budget feature can hope for.

Greetings, Cuffs. We here at Not Fit For Human Consumption realize that entries have been few and far during the period in which our writing staff lacked an internet connection. The management is happy to report that an internet connection has been acquired and would like to suggest that the link to NFFHC be moved from the "Blogs lost to the passage of time" category to the "Blogs still maintained" category. Otherwise, we will have to arrange for a dead horse head to appear in your bed some morning and that will just be an unpleasant day for all involved. Thank for your time, and enjoy your trip to Otakon.

Well you didn't miss my dinner. Thanks for coming. I'm in Valhalla already.
