Just saw the DGA list of the five best directors - the director of The Father is NOT up. I see no reason to vote, really.

But is up for best first-time director:

Florian Zeller, “The Father” (Sony Pictures Classics)
First Assistant Director: George Every
Second Assistant Director: Jamie D. Allen

I don't know if that's good or bad or what. But there was no overlap from this category to the other.

No, there's an issue now that I have to call and resolve - every time I do a campaign things are different and weird. So, I have to call in the morning - it will be up by noon is the hope.

Listening to my third opera of the day - the complete three-act Lulu with Boulez conducting and Teresa Stratas - I find the Bohm more appealing in terms of conducting and the way has with the music, but this is really excellent, too, and I'm looking forward to act three. The other two were Pfitzner operas. That's been my accompaniment for the Indiegogo business.

I had a pastrami sandwich from Togo's at two, and a muffin since. Not so terrible.

I thought the director of NOMADLAND was the front-runner for the DGA and the Academy Awards

I think if you count all of the employees along with the customers, we were still a group of 10 people or less.

Ken was nice enough to come over and put in a temporary shower head in my walk-in shower for me.

The former colossal (Land of the Giants) shower head fell and attempted to kill me Sunday, as I was getting in for a shower.

Now playing: Act two of Berg's Lulu. Then comes the third act, which wasn't part of the other recording I heard.

Is there an option for a write-in candidate?

I've been in Indiegogoland for hours, doing perks and setting everything up so we can hopefully launch in the morning. Some really good perks - you'll want to get there early :)

I just saw the video on YouTube. :)

You have two showers?  Nice.  I just have one bathroom and a "powder room." ::)

That's pretty exciting about the new Indiegogo campaign...except for the issue that you have to call and resolve.
