Liar

I lied. I said I'd post tomorrow in my last post and it's been way
longer than that. Sorry.

I've spent the entire day today at home doing "business-y" things. it's
been fairly boring. Most are movie related but some are personal, like
dentist appointments.

I've been doing more research on web developers. It's been pretty
tough. I met with one last friday. I mentioned that in my last post.
Well the meeting went great. We ended up talking for like 2 hours. And
he totally gets what I want to do and knows how to execute it.
However, I just can't afford him. He usually does websites for like
$2500-$7000 and I told him I'd be lucky if I could raise $1000. He said
he'd spend the weekend going over some stuff and see what he could do
for me for $1000. I'd really like to raise the money though, because
I'd love to work with this guy. I also want to work with this guy because doing all this research is stressful. Everyone "business" in the Valley that does this sort of thing is
charging about the same. A few a little less, but it's obvious that
most of those companies that charge less are just charging you for a
template that you could just buy yourself for much cheaper. I made a
Craigslist ad today. About thirty minutes ago actually and I've had like 15
emails already, however, most of them seem like scams. A few aren't but most
feel like it. This is frustrating. The website is just so
important. I feel stressed everyday that there isn't a site up.
Hopefully this will work its' self out soon.

Speaking of money, we may have another investor. I don't know all the
details yet, though, so that's all I'm going to say.

John Murphy signed on to cut a few trailers for the movie. I'm excited
about this because I don't want to do it. Well, I do, but I also don't
want to spend the time doing it.

Jarvis and I spent the other day making little "making of" video's for
MH web content. It was fun. I'll post them periodicly.

I took one of Johnny's finished cartoons and made the first character
portrait teaser poster. It looks great. I'll change the picture on the
blog to it once I release it. I think I'm going to tomorrow. 

Tapia and I went to Chandler Cinema's the other day and tested the
movie out on their equipment in one of their auditoriums. It actually
looked and sounded a lot better than I thought it would. Not that I
thought their equipment would be bad, but just the DVD being
projected. We're like 95% sure we're going to be doing the
screening there. It's cheap and worth it. We also went driving around
looking for a place to do an after party/fundraiser as well. I think
we're going to do it at Iguana Max. We're also thinking about doing a
silent auction. Which could be really cool or really lame.

I'm waiting to hear back from Kenny's company on some more quotes for
less DVD's. I just don't think we can afford to spend $500 on DVDs, unless someone reading wants to send us a check.

Speaking of sending checks, I'm probably going to be meeting with our
initial investor sometime this week to figure the details of this
arrangement out.
