Sunday So Far

Jason helped me start the day off right with homemade egg tacos. I hopped in the car to hear none other than the Gibson Brothers, Ring the Bell on KVRX 91.7, on my way to the convention center. We hit up Once Over Coffee on the way for some seriously strong java.

The panel on audience building held a few tips and tricks for filmmakers, simple stuff like having the director record custom welcomes for each theatrical screening.

Now I’m wandering around the trade show floor, indulging in free swag – Shiner, bubbles, and photo booths. There’s a monkey and a banana running around the floor (cue Monty Python music) and I’ve seen more than one person with their twitter trending topic written on their arm (#myrightforearmiscoolerthanyou).

In a few short hours, it’ll be time for some film – Mr. Nice is the pick for 6:30. I’m particularly excited about the Austin City Limits show and party tonight, hopefully I’ll run into some of my pub-casting compatriots, including Leital from Studio 360, and, of course, hear good music.

Small fashion note: big sequined flower hair accessories are all the rage, can we blame it on Mo’Nique?
