Ah, I know I haven't posted here in ages, and now I'm thinking of all these people who read this thing whom I should've told about this event, 'cause it was a blast!
Here's what I wrote about it:
The
ASIFA-Atlanta holiday party was a blast!! :D
I got to meet
Lee Crowe who animated in LA for 20 years- she worked on "Cool World" and a bunch of other films, holy smoke! She is super nice too. She likes my drawings!! That made me really, really happy.
Ward showed some really amazing old animation from UPA and Oskar Fischinger. Then I got to show my friend
Bryan's animation "Get Got" (viewable online
here) which I loooooooooove!!!! He also built the website for
Animation Attack, a fest we're planning to have in July. Call for entries coming soon hopefully!
Then Joe Peery's band the Floating Coats played! Everybody seemed to love it :)
A bunch of my friends were there- people I adore so much! Charles Judson from
CinemATL was there of course, and my good friend
Robert, through whom I met Bryan in the first place (and lots of other people). Another very good buddy of mine,
Karl, was also there (he is in charge of the
Animation Workshop that meets monthly!!). Felix drew me and various other people. Joe K from Primal handled signing up new members. I also had the pleasure of seeing my pals Sean Corey Adams and
Joanna Davidovich, although I didn't get to hang with them as much as I wanted!
I'm sure I'm forgetting several people I love a lot (Jeffrey and Ashtree!!) but it was really fun :)
Yay for ASIFA!
At Lee's recommendation, I'm probably going to join
ASIFA-Hollywood. I never thought about it since I don't live there of course, but apparently they send you movies sometimes.
