More details to come from Columbia and the Indie Grits Film Festival - but X-GEN is showing right now (2pm Eastern).
Matt Long flew out from his exclusive artists’ co-op bungalow in West Hollywood and was greeted in high style by the organizers of the festival. They have proved themselves to be extremely gracious and hospitable - read their “mission statement” on their site and see that these folks practice what they preach/promote.
Matt is soaking up the scene (outdoor concerts last night, screenings all day today) and loving a venue where “Independent Film” does not mean “the same few films that all the festivals who pose as independent somehow end up showing.” Sounds like great crowds and good networking.
Hopefully the judges and audiences will join the millions who are expressing their individuality by asking their doctors if X-GEN is right for them…
— And, see below if this seems random, but…BRIAN McBRIDE scored the winning goal to give Fulham its first away victory in ~18 months!! They may just avoid relegation with another couple of wins and a loss or two by Bolton and Birmingham…

To the Absent-Minded Professor -
Congrats on yet another film festival entry!
In answers to your questions:
1)Well, this short story was the science fiction one about the people who lived above the clouds with three legs entitled “Say Goodbye to Bendler” which you allegedly graded and never returned. I bugged you and bugged you about it all year and it never returned. It was always in your “other bag”.
2)At the time of the poetyizing, I had heard “There She Goes” and “Kiss Me” numerous times on the radio and enjoyed them thoroughly but never heard the artist because the DJ’s were always too busy trying to be clever or obscene or something. Or maybe I never bothered. Or made the connection that it was the same band. At any rate, having enjoyed the lyrics of the songs that you introduced to us, I decided to explore further with utmost haste and recieved their “Best of” compialation for my Christmas holiday. Now, I cannot stop listening to it and have been diagnosed with favoritism. Dale Baker lives in Durham? Whoa!
3)Ouch. Your complement rather hurt. I’m not sure how my clever ramblings about politicians, musicians, and random school life inspired you to do something infinitely mundane and painful . . .
4)The question is, how the heck WILL BE high school? I haven’t quite gotten there, yet. Jordan is where I am bound, along with Tom and others. Samantha is in their production of South Pacific this year, and that shall be . . . intriguing.
5)[Belated] Congrats on the baby girl!
