Just wondering... will any of you guys by any chance be at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival next week?

If so, looking forward to meeting you there!

I'll be there.

Sweet. I'll be looking for a red dragon with a lute.

You might not recognize me without my lute. I'll be wearing a fedora though so that might help.

I won't be there.

I live about thirty minutes from San Antonio, but regrettably, I won't be at the festival. But tell us how it is and whether or not you find each other! (and I'm planning on going next year)

(And Bard, everyone in Texas wears either a fedora or a stetson. I don't think that would help. )

Last year at the festival there was a shocking lack of both styles of head gear.
(Though stetsons for some reason seem rather popular in Texas )

I think Jenny (Grace) mentioned going to a film festival, and I know she lives in Texas...

There we have it.

Joe, when I was at your house earlier this month ya'll said you weren't going! Sudden change of plans?

Yeppeth, I'll be going! Look for long, dark, curly hair, and a nametag that says "Grace Pennington." And I'll probably be near a tall guy who also has dark hair, with a "Jacob Pennington" nametag. Hope to see you guys there!

(Ciela, you live that close to San Antonio? You should PM me and tell me where you're at, I'm only an hour from there. )

Yes, we decided to go because we have some friends who are going and we're sharing the cost of a house.

Wow, looks like a whole slew of you guys are coming. Awesome.
Mebbe we could do some kind of HW badge or something…

I won't be there, but it sounds like fun! Let us know how it goes, okay?

I think it's just you, me and Joe, Fidle. But if that's a slew...

Hope to meet you guys!

Elly, you'll hear about it. You'll probably hear about nothing else from me for a few weeks at least.

Luke be jealous.

There, there. *pats Matt* Have some cookies. *hands cookies shaped like musical notes*

Another identifying mark, Fidle... I'll be limping, because my horse stepped on my foot this morning.

Excuse me?
Though I do have a quesiton for all ye Film Festival people - about how many films are usually judged? Are they divided according to length?

They are divided according to length sometimes, and sometimes category, though those somewhat go together. They have short films, documentaries and feature films, as well as some promotional media.

Typically they have something like fifty films.

In Oklahoma, more than two people is referred to as a slew.



Fidle be not sorry.

So, I'm looking for a limping person and a red cartoon luteless dragon wearing a fedora. Piece of cake...

Hah!

Ahh. Good to know.

I can't find you guys in this seething mass of humanity.

This is on my to-do list, but sadly I doubt it happens this year.

*is no longer jealous*

Seething masses of humanity kinda...bother me.

Okay, even small masses bother me. >.> Like...a dozen people.

Me too, actually. And this is waaaay more than a dozen people...

Ya'll should have made plans to meet somewhere specific. Like at the CF.org meetup thing...

Definitely; otherwise you'll miss each other.

Yeah. Joe and I realized at some point that neither of us knew what you looked like or what your name was! We should totally have set up a place and a time.

Did you enjoy your time, though?

Aaw. It's a shame you missed each other.

Did you and Joe meet, Grace?

Yes, we did! My brother and I really enjoyed hanging out with him and his sisters.

Well that stinks.

Well, that's fun.

Weel, maybe next time.

I did! It was incredibly inspiring. And Courageous totally deserved to win.
What was your favorite part of the festival?

I hope so!


Yes, it really did deserve it! I was quite glad it won, it is truly a wonderful film.

My favorite part was just visiting and networking with people, having meals with new and old friends, and meeting some good internet friends in real life for the first time. The people are always the most wonderful part, for me! But I saw a few films, and they were good! The quality is getting immensely better every year.
