My Week and Welcome to It:
The Annie session is upon us, or me. My schedule is crammed with trips to Burbank and Hollywood. The events are flying fast and furiously; too many to attend.
MONDAY:
Monday night is the big presentation and signing for Drawing the Line, Tom Sito`s animation labor book. I am going to be teaching a class Monday night at Cal State Fullerton (Cartoons at War) . I also have to try and meet with someone in the Theatre Department about voice over for the Animation Jam. I have to miss this event but here is your chance to see and hear the story no one ever thought would be told.
DRAWING THE LINE
Monday, Oct. 23, 2006, 7pm
Bridges Auditorium, Melnitz Hall
UCLA Campus. Admission is free.
TUESDAY:
Tuesday morning I am in Burbank on the campus of Woodbury University to meet with Nancy, my stop motion student. We are building wire armatures. This is the highlight of my week. I have been getting stuff ready for weeks.
While on campus I need to meet with people about tech support, student volunteers and runners for the upcoming Annie Judging in November. Also have to talk to personnel about the details on my mentorship (parking and the like) and I need to see the event planner about the Stop Mo Expo in April. All of this must be done before 12 noon because I have to be back in Orange County by 2 PM.
Which means I am going to miss David Levy`s Your Career in Animation presentastion. Sorry David, it looks like a good one.

WEDNESDAY:
Wednesday I am at Laguna College of Art & Design with Tom Sito and the road show of Drawing the Line. (I couldn`t get to the UCLA event so I scheduled one for my neck of the woods, okay two)

Thursday is a killer day for me. I am on the road at 6:30 AM and then I am at Brooks College until 5:00 PM and then it is the 605 to the 5 and straight on until Burbank.
ASIFA-Hollywood Volunteer Meeting
Thursday, October 26th 7 P.M.
Woodbury University
7500 Glenoaks Blvd.
Burbank, CA 91510
Room D104
This is a big one. This is the last volunteer meeting before the Annie Judging on Woodbury campus in November. We will be going over the details for the volunteers who will be working as support staff for this event. Other events on the agenda are the AFI Screening and the Stop Mo Expo.
This will put me back in Orange County at about 10:30 or 11. Gods, I am getting tired just reading this. Maybe it is a mistake to write this stuff down?
FRIDAY:
Friday I have to be on the road again by 6:30 for an internship class I am running at Brooks. This is the week that I have them doing cold calls so I won`t have to talk that much. But I will have to do pep talks and hand holding because this can be very scary for some of the students.
Friday, October 27th, 2006 is also the ANNIE AWARDS DEADLINE
Deadline to Receive Materials for Nomination Judging. For more information, please visit http://www.annieawards.org/
SATURDAY:
Saturday is another trip into Burbank (glad the gas prices have come down a little). After my week what in the world could be good enough to get me back on the 5 heading North?
