Went by Geoff’s studio the other day to work on the final credits for the movie. He is the graphic designer that did the titles for the trailer as well as a bunch of other stuff for our film. We’ve been working with him for a long time. He did Chocolate stuff back in the day and a couple issues of Grand Royal Magazine. I love wandering around his studio and looking at all his stuff. Here’s a a sampling.

826 Benefit Screenings of Where The Wild Things Are

Published August 27, 2009 by Spike

There are screenings in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, New York and Ann Arbor, Mich also. Everywhere there is an 826.

826 National is a nonprofit tutoring, writing, and publishing organization with locations in seven cities across the country. Our goal is to assist students ages six to eighteen with their writing skills, and to help teachers get their classes excited about writing. Our work is based on the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention, and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success.

After the founding of 826 Valencia, the flagship center in San Francisco, educators around the U.S. joined in to pursue the same goals in their local communities. Now 826 Valencia also serves as the headquarters of 826 National, an umbrella organization that coordinates the adaptation of 826’s tutoring and mentorship model in other cities. Already, 826 has sister centers in New York, Los Angeles, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Seattle, and Boston. Through volunteer support, each of the seven 826 chapters provides drop-in tutoring, class field trips, writing workshops, and in-schools programs—all free of charge. 826 chapters are especially committed to supporting teachers, publishing student work, and offering services for English language learners.

I’m not sure why Sonny wanted to cut his finger off. But I guess when he was half way through, he decided it was a bad idea. I concur. Sending big hugs to you Sonny. We are coming over for dinner tonight with some treats. Warners, send him something good!
