so kate got this opportunity to do some work for a new buddy elise through and friend of a friend of a friend(thanks willy). the gig would start the next day and last one week. she would be helping the guests at the info booth to the platform international animation festival. turned out to be a sweet thing. tuesday yours truley offered to deliver lunch to kate, got hired on the spot and spent the rest of the week as 'theater minder'. as it turns out, a 'theater minder' gets to sit in the theater during each and every screening in said theater to put out any proverbial fires that may show themselves. needless to say this thing was a well oiled machine and i got to relax for about 12 hours a day in the cushy seats of the newmark theater and watch some of the most eye opening work in film i had ever seen.
