Live from the Emerald City

Yes, I'm blogging from cold, rainy Seattle, Washington. Not so emerald right now, but I've enjoyed the cold and rain...the first two days! Now I'm tired of it. How do people live here? Probably because the nice days make up for it, like enduring the heat in Phoenix for the mild winter.

We came up for a wedding, which was very nice. We took extra days to take in the city. The most interesting part for me, was being in a "football town" where the home team was hosting the playoffs. My first time. I mean, the Broncos went to the playoffs many times when I was in Colorado, but I never was in Denver. You could definitely feel the electricty among the locals, especially when Redskins fans walked the streets. I briefly thought of trying to get tickets.

We've done the Space Needle, and today we're going to the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum (they're in the same building). I look forward to that. And tonight, we come home.

Wildlifeless screening

Well friends, it is official.

The Almost Famous International Short Film Festival, in their infinite wisdom, has selected Wildlifeless for screening. You hear that Phoenix-dwellers? This is the first official non-private screening of the short film – so for those who have yet to see the flick or want to catch it again – check it out. The jury looks to have selected a great list of other short films as well from various filmmaking communities around the globe. Very cool.
