I’m still finding out more about what’s going on in Las Vegas this week. But I have found out that I will be at the Wynn hotel and casino tomorrow night (Monday), from about 7 to 8 PM, in front of the Alsace Ballroom, handing out leaflets to members of the press there. Fans, Gentle Readers, Friends and Fellow Writers… want to come by and stand up with me? Please do! Because if you don’t, there’s a good chance I’m going to be there all alone!
UPDATE: Mark Verheiden, fellow Battlestar co-exec producer will be joining me in Vegas! Come check us BOTH out!

Interesting! It looks like there will be some Las Vegas strike action going on at the Consumer Electronics Show there this week. I’m gathering info and will post it here, so refresh me as if I were Nikki Finke to get the latest news. I think I’ll head out there myself to be part of this interesting event, and I urge those of you in the Vegas area to come on out and join us!
More to come…
Lunch: turkey stuffing, mince meat pie

I have an interesting announcement today, Gentle Readers. Disney/ABC, the people who run the writing fellowship, are expanding. Wait– the people aren’t expanding as far as I know, but the fellowship is. They are currently accepting applications to the 2008 ABC/DGA Television Directing Fellowship. Applications and detailed submission guidelines can be obtained at the Disney/ABC web site. The deadline for submission is February 29, 2008.
Are you more of a director than you are a writer? Here’s a test. Look at your hands. Are you making little “V”s with the index and middle fingers of both hands and angling them around like alien eye-stalks? If you are, you’re a director. (Really, they do that all the time, those directors.) Go apply!
Lunch: spaghetti and cheese sauce, just like my mother makes it. Because it was made by my mother.
