You Think You Have Location Problems?

Try being Richard Linklater these days. He's shooting the movie of "Fast Food Nation" in fast food franchises. Read about it here and be grateful that all you are trying to lock down is an office, a bar and a swing set.

Yours in permits,

Do you love lucy? -or- Candies from heaven

Strange day at the office today. Most notable is the visit paid by a Lucille Ball impersonator. She performs on Sunset, where apparently one our illustrious film students approached her about being in a student film. At the time she declined but has now had a change of heart. So this is from Lucy to you... If you're still out there, I would love to do the project. Please contact me. Her info is posted on the door of SPO, so if you are the filmmaker in question and are still interested, then make this hollywood dream come true.

Also... shout out to Annie Lynch, one of the folks responsible for EIN. She dropped off some good candy for our candy dish today, which has all but evaporated in a matter of an hour. Thanks Annie. You are a shining star.

That is all -Derek
