CAA have (has?) nice offices
Liz and I rolled into CAA last night to sign a couple of contracts for Quiet Library. After having our car valet
parked (seriously) we entered what could be best described as a library-as-disco-by-way-of-the-Death-Star.
The aesthetic was sleek and white and full of sexy people, like a discotheque; hushed and suffocating, like a library; and possessed of a raw power sufficient to crush you like the tiny planet of Tattoonie, like the Death Star.
All in all it was quite impressive - made all the less so by the fact that the dollar amount of the contracts I signed was inferior to the cost of our agent's assistant's bolo tie.

Motherfucking writer's strike shit
I hate when people say "man, this is just my luck" when bad things happen to them. I'm a believer in good-luck being the due reward of the skilled; bad luck, meanwhile, tending to be misfortune exacerbated by a lack of preparation.
For example, I lost most of my hair by 25 (kind of bad) but that was exacerbated by the fact that I was dating a small, unpleasant person.
Were I sagacious I would have foreseen as inevitable my hair-loss and rapidly diminishing sex-appeal and begun dating someone hot while I still enjoyed a modicum of leverage.
Alas, I did not. And I was therefore stuck in Washington Heights, balding and sad. But...!
... life ebbs and life flows, doesn't it? Caught as I was in an ebb (in the form of the small unpleasant person) I flowed in the form of meeting Liz, being funny, getting her drunk and asking her out. Then I took advantage of the fact that she didn't like where she was living and convinced her to live with me. Then I cemented our relationship via the acquisition of cats. Before she knew it we were engaged and, voila, now this balding, out-of-shape, middling-writer is married to a total babe.
See how that works?
All that being said, the impending writers strike is some bad fucking luck. Quiet Library has 3 contracts with 2 media companies, representation by CAA and we anticipate a new round of meetings with additional media companies in the coming months. Pretty sweet except that if we accept one thin dime for any of our work we'll be permanently blackballed from ever working in Hollywood.
But Quiet Library isn't in the union yet, right?
From the link: "[The Writer's Guild is] also asserting that nonmembers who perform banned work during a strike will be barred from joining the guild in the future."
Motherfucker. Maybe Reagan will come back from the dead and fire all of them.

QL, Int'l
(Dagbladet.no): 18 år gamle Lauren Caitlin Upton gjorde dypt inntrykk på alle som så finalen i skjønnhetskonkurransen Miss Teen USA for to uker siden.
Is that Hobbit? No matter, 2 of our videos are down the page a bit

QL's site crashed today
Pretty lame. Oh wait, it's because we were mentioned on E!'s the Daily 10 and starting getting around 1000 hits/second and our server melted.
Boo yah!
Yes, I'm serious - I think the show airs again at 10 pm EST, check us out (I haven't seen it but Cooper tells me that it happens near the end).
Update - ok, so this is really cool: apparently the #1 story of the week was that Miss South Carolina girl (hard hitting news broadcast) and they give is a shout and play our video
The broadcast is tonight at 7:30 and then again at midnight.
Update Redux QL is is in the top 5 most viewed Director channels on You Tube (this month) with 3M+ views and in striking-distance of the top 3. Who are we beating? A handful of media-fly-by-nights like NBC, CBS, The Sun Newspaper (whatever, Murdoch!) and the National Geographic Channel.
Holla!
