Hey Ron Li!

I haven't thought about Movie Magic class in ages. I'm still bummed that we didn't get to actually MAKE any films in that class. That was the first time I ever saw The Birds. And Arachnophobia...

The best with your feature. Sounds really exciting to be on a set. I wish I could post more Hollywood war stories, but I have to sit here and pretend like nothing is happening for the sake of protecting business interests.

You're hardly the only person to ask for Judy's number. She's so popular, I might as well just devote the blog to her full-time.

(For the benefit of everyone else, Ron Li is a girl who attended nerd camp with me at Southern Methodist University back when we were preteens. Behold the power of the Internet!)

thanks rob..nothing like being introduced as the girl from 'nerd camp'

Well, it's a lot easier than saying "program for talented and gifted youth"... and more honest.

Besides, nerd camp rocks. One of the best summers of my life was spent being a counseler at the Center for Talented Youth at Skidmore College.
