First earthquake

I survived my first earthquake!

What does one do when they experience their first earthquake? Have a drink...do a shot? Go to church...pray?

I was actually in the car when it all went down. I was stopped at a red light and I suddenly felt the car start to sway. It reminded me of when I was a limo driver back in Houston and folks would raise the partition and get freaky in the back of the cab. I looked around for a moment, wondering if what I felt was really "What I felt," and I didnt really notice anything unusual. The light turned green. I rolled on through. I stopped at the next light about half a mile down the road and it was all over. It wasn't until someone came on the radio and started commenting about the earthquake that I realized that I waas really feeling an earthquake.... cool.

I hope that will always be the extent of my exposure to earthquakes.

On my way out the door here in a few minutes to perform my daily duties as a SoCal HINT sales rep. I have accounts to visit over in Venice, Santa Monica and Brentwood.

When I get home tonight I have reports to finish...especially my mileage report for the month of July. I get remibursed, like, .46 cents a mile...which is a federally mandated number... and what sucks is that .46 cents a mile does not reflect the huge increase in gas prices over the past two years... so that little mileage reimbursement plan isnt exactly fair anymore.

I also have to send follow up emails to all the directors I met the other day. I posted something on Mandy.com explaining that I was looking for directors to collaborate with on my internet series CATCH. So I set up interviews and met with about 10 different people on Monday evening. Everyone was great. An interview is just an interview though. It will be interesting to see who rises above and turns out to be a solid, productive collaborator.

The idea is that I introduce a few different directors and allow them to work their magic on a few different episodes of the series. That way I can focus on writing, producing and actually acting in a few of the epsiodes. I can also increase the exposure and keep the material fresh...for the audience AND myself.... so I'm really looking forward to this little experiment.

I spent a lot of time this past weekend on the new Indie City website. I had initially started building a website through Yahoo small business services...but didnt get very far...simply because the Yahoo service doesnt offer that much...and I'm not really familiar with how to create a site using the Yahoo tools.... but I DO know how to work with Bandzoogle (Thats the service that powers THIS site). So I spent a few weeks building a new Indie City Entertainment site using bandzoogle and unveiled it this weekend.

The site unveiling was uneventful. I havent sent out a blast to the masses yet...I guess because I feel like it still needs a few finishing touches... but please...by all means...check it out... i think it fairly represents the collective and gives the viewer a better idea iof what we are all about...where we've been....where we are going:
