One Year!!!

The Mrs and I celebrated our first anniversary this weekend and it was, as she would say, Super Awesome!  We took Friday off of work spent the weekend in Idyllwild and it was a great time of relaxing and being with my favorite person in the world.  The highlights included:

-Our very own creekside cabin, complete with resident grey squirrel we named Smudge.

-Looking out the window and being about a foot away from two young raccoons who were fighting over crumbs on the porch table (and my poor wife of one year nearly having a heart attack when she realized that they were not way over in the creek where she was looking, but directly in front of her face.)

-A 3.4 earthquake that scared my wife half to death once again, as she lay in bed wondering if raccoons could open screen doors.

-Walking with hand in hand with my wife, surrounded by the smell of rain and redwoods, and the sound of thunder and woodpeckers.

-The best scrambled eggs I've ever had from a little restaurant called Cafe Aroma. 

-Finding a rootbeer that I haven't had yet (Filbert's; not that great) and perfect thrift shop shoes for Jenette to wear at an upcoming costume party.

-Stopping on the way home at the giant dinosaur statues from Pee Wee's Big Adventure.  How did I make it to 29 years old and not know that they were so close?

-Spending an uninterrupted 74 hours with the love of my life!  I love you Jenette!  Thank you for an unbelievably great first year of husbandhood.

Feel Good Film Festival

The Furtissimo premier at Tosti Studios was a big success if you ask me. It was great to see so many friends there and be able to share this project with them. We also made way too many peanutbutter and marshmallow sandwiches. Apparently we should have labeled them because most people thought the marshmallow cream was mayo. Those brave enough to try them were pleasantly surprised.


So what's next, you ask? Well apparently the next step is to show it to a theater full of complete strangers. *gulp*

I'm happy to announce that Furtissimo was not only accepted into the Feel Good Film Festival in Hollywood, but will actually be featured during the opening night ceremony. This means that everyone that comes to the red carpet hooplah to celebrate the opening of the weekend and take pictures of pretty people will all see Furtissimo in an actual theater in actual Hollywood.

I'm officially terrified. This also means the 250 promotional post cards that I had printed out to advertize during the festival are completely obsolete now. Go figure.
