I checked out some of your films. Kudos. I keep meaning to upload some stuff of mine, but terrible things that demand my attention keep happening. That, plus my intrinsic laziness = I aint done it yet.
So yeah, I heard that you are coming back to WHS, is it true? I wanted to ask you so I would know 100%. Me, Neo, and Savanah and others wrote letters to the superintendant to get them to keep you.
Steven and Brett made a short film for the 24 hour film contest... Go to www. tallahassee. com/24hourfilmcontest And vote for First Date!!! It's the second best film to come out of North Florida! (Right under the Creature from the Black Lagoon!!!) Maybe even better...! Please go vote!
Yo Man! Happy Birthday! Was going to invite you to come see some Catfish Friday @ Yanni's but it looks like we got some stiff competition that night. Maybe I'll get someone to sit in on drums so I can go see The Ums as well. Take it easy man. -DBB
