: 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.
