Cheese Steaks Calling

So, this week has been quite nice, a lot more laid back than last week which is nice. Audrey is visiting, she's attending the C.A.A. conference here in New York. We've had some great food this week, BBQ, delivery sushi, sit down sushi, good burgers at a clandestine burger joint hidden behind a curtain in a big swanky hotel in midtown even. Been to two gallery openings this week was fun. Met a group of her friends, that were all pretty awesome, especially Wayne and Emily. Also, Jessica, a former NYU alumni who let me in on some of the things in the know, like the library has plastic bags to carry your books home in if you ask. I was like why the f would anyone not bring their backpack. Logic defies me sometimes.

It defies in other ways. Today, I got an email from this curator at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Apparently he saw Cal Arts' Experimental Animation Showcase from this past year, which I was in. So, he saw it and saw my piece and emailed me to ask me to be part of the Philadelphia Film Festival and that I would be screened along with Bill Plympton and Don Hertzfeldt which is like GAGh??? I still have to email him back since I got the email really late tonight. He also was like basically I'd like to see your other work and facilitate you as much as possible in the city of Philadelphia. So, bloody bizarre. I didn't even know our school sent out our reel to prospective people organizing film festivals. Anyhow, whatever the case, I will be emailing him back and finding out the details and if everything goes through "Death, Destruction, & The Weather Coming Up Next" will be heading to the land of cheese steaks and brotherly love.
