The responses from my posting about my feature film one day workshop in which we make a full length movie in one day...Hence the name... Has been pretty big!

However, many, if not all notified me that Thanksgiving was the weekend I was thinking of doing it.

That's true!

I forgot. Don't use a calendar that has holidays listed on it. I should.

Okay; We'll reschedule then.

Many are readers from Los Angeles and want to know when I will do it again in their vicinity... I will be coming to LA soon! I will be in town for the screening of Aaron's movie "Bangkok" and will scout locations when I'm there to see it's premiere.

I've been talking with a few radio stations and there is some interest in me, Thank Gawd! However again, they are in other cities...

But that's okay, I guess. Nice to still be wanted. I'm moving out of this apartment anyway. I just hope contracts are signed before a new lease is signed.

One radio station that stepped up to inquire would be so awesome to work with, they are in a great city that every airline has discounts to fly to and everyone I know goes there at least once a year. Living there would really be great knowing friends and family would be more likely to visit me than they did in Fresno. The station also is very supportive of my filmmaking and asked about the feasibility of making that part of the show.

For some reason there has been a rash of Watts Valley Wolf Ape e-mails coming in to me. I wonder if there have been more sightings? I have about ten letters I have yet to post from listeners and readers that have been researching on their own. Every one of the letters involved asking a relative if they have heard of it, seems it was a big thing back in the day that has come around again and I am the conduit to today's resurgence.

We all need to be something, I guess!

I got a call today on my machine from a publisher who once considered publishing a book based on my website writings and things not yet posted. She suggested the idea of me doing a lecture tour of schools and bookshops around the country where I would read from that days posting incorporating my impression of that particular city and it's people. Jerry on the road...

Sounded great! Chance for me to travel! I have the time.

Then came the bubble popper; They wouldn't cover the cost, I would do it and then they would publish the results of the tour.

So out of my pocket, huh?

And where does this idea sound good?

Oh, they would set up the appearances and radio interviews... Nice. Let me think on that a while.

Of course just these last sentences I am writing here will cancel her enthusiasm as it did before when I mentioned the book proposal in these pages months ago.

I'm a real thrill-killer!
