24-Hour Film Festival

I just received an email on the Minneapolis 24-Hour Film Festival. I did it last year with a great team of writers/actors/editors/musicians. I am very, very excited to do it again this April 3 and 4th.

If you are not familiar with it, here is the gist:

-At 10pm Friday night, you receive a "theme" and a "prop/action/line/etc." Last year they were "Saving" and "a knock on the door" respectively.
-By 10pm Saturday a finished copy had to be delivered to a preassigned location.
-Then you can finally sleep.

How precise are they? We delivered ours at 10:02pm. We were disqalified from all the awards save for the Audience Favorite award.

We didn't win that anyway.

But here is our film from last year, which Kris Kenison (who plays "God" in this film) has posted to YouTube.

Enjoy!

The 'House

Nome, Alaska

So I read a comment in a friend of mine's blog from a guy she knew once who said something along the lines of: "Anytime anyone blogs about Nome, Alaska, I get a notification about it."

So that is why I am writing this blog. For no other reason then to see if this guy gets this blog update, too.

If you do, Hi! Thanks for stopping by.

If you don't, you'll never see this, so I don't care.

The Phone Call

Here is how the voicemail I received today sounded when I listened in the Skyway of Minneapolis, with a lot of people around, and poor reception:

"This is Kelly - - - - from the Blaine - - - - hospital - - - -. Please get back to us as soon as-----."

Freaking out, I ran to get better service, and redialed my voicemail...

"This is Kelly Johnson from the Blaine Area Pet Hospital. Please get back to us as soon as you can and set up an appointment to get Penny her rabies shots."

Heart attack diverted. Now just mild chest pains remain.
