Filling Space and Time Every day I have to write something. The blank page is there looking at me and it is my self appointed job to fill this space. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is difficult. Lots of things are happening now that we are running up to the Annies so I should have lots of things to talk about and I do but no time to write it out.

• I meet with Aubry Mintz from Laguna College of Art and Design for a breakfast meeting last Thursday morning. Looks like his students may be filling in some spots on the Annie Archive Video Crew. Ed Gonzalez and I will be meeting with prospective members of the video crew this Monday at Laguna College.

• Wednesday is the last Act of Membership meeting before the Annies, 7 PM at 2114 W. Burbank. If you are a Annie volunteer make sure you are there for the meeting.

• Saturday the 29th is the Afternoon of Remembrance. Don`t miss this event that starts at 1 PM at the DeMille barn.

• Sunday the 30th is the big event, the Annies. The last couple of years of have worked the front end, tickets and greeting. I'm planning on kicking back this year and just being part of the audience for a change.
  

• February I start visiting college animation programs in a new program to talk about the benefits of ASIFA membership for animation students.

• Next comes the ramp up for Comic Con. I lied about just being a member of the audience at the Annies, I will be buttonholing people about presentations at Comic Con. I shouldn`t have warned you about that.
  

That is what I have coming up. At least it should give me something to write about.
