David: You make me feel like I have arrived. Heh.

Thanks for the pointer to Brian's write-ups on 2006 SFIAAFF and to the Cinequest lineup, which has just completely complicated and overloaded my calendar, but hey, what the hell?

Thanks again for the mention, Dave. Glad to help all those filmmakers out, be they studio-employed or grass-roots indie folks.

And thanks for the scoopage on my hometown festival's Midnight Movie selections. I've already seen a good portion of the flicks, but I've got my eye on a few new ones!
