Re: 2010 Austin Notifications
Arndt's presentations were the hit of Austin-we could clearly hear the applause for his Sunday presentation in the next room and everyone was raving about his panels throughout the weekend.
There were so many good speakers and good panels--not regretting the fact I missed Arndt's: i feel blessed to have met so many cool folks on so many levels.
joereiter--got your email, will respond and send script tonight. So great to meet you--you were the first of very many wonderful people I met out there.

When someone gets a standing ovation for a power point presentation, there's something going on! When story analysts emerge from the audience of a panel with their minds blown, there was something amazing going on inside that room.
Yay and thank you!
Gave me a lot to think about on the ride back to NYC.
Was that really powerpoint he used? Didn't know it could incorporate video...

Re: 2010 Austin Notifications
Michael Arndt wants to try to put the whole thing on line but he uses examples from movies he doesn't own the rights to and doesn't want to get sued. Someone in the audience suggested he write "see Star Wars chapter XYZ, 17 minutes in..." or whatever. Hopefully he will.

You may want to check your spam folder just in case it was filtered out.

Re: 2010 Austin Notifications
when/how did you guys receive your notes? i haven't gotten anything back yet
i will say that the lines of communication with the guys running the aff are a little....stilted....i still haven't received a confirmation for my being there, and they were reeeeeally slow to respond about availability for some of the panels
that said, i'm getting in thursday night and will be around friday-monday

Re: 2010 Austin Notifications
Honestly, I think this is what killed me:
"Played out and done. Title is unoriginal as well. Despite, this it is still an entertaining read."
So I do take that criticism to heart 'cause...well, they're right. But I'm working on it.

The kind that shows how out of touch with reality some contest readers are.
So disappointing.

By the way, for those curious, I was docked points 'cause I used "we see". Also, by the way, I used it once in the beginning for a very specific purpose. So let this be a lesson to those out there. And I still wouldn't change it.
