you can always go... downtown

sitting in the office waiting for the furniture to be delivered. isn't that what we're all doing, waiting to be delivered? maybe it will happen for all of us, sometime between 2 & 6pm!

anyway, thought i would give all you kids an update on our good friends CWK. Pitchfork is reporting that Cold War Kids have signed with Downtown records, home to Gnarls Barkley, Art Brut and Eagles of Death Metal. I talked to maust this morning, and he confirms that though they haven't laid down that last sweet ink yet, the deal is done. Pitchfork actually got it straight from the band, so nothing strange going on here. congrats to them one and all!

also of note recently is some footage from the movie that amanda worked on with tim cahill. working title is "the oates pageant trilogy". though post production has yet to wrap, you can see some select clips in montage on cinematographer David Rom's reel. look for ryan patterson as the drill sergeant (you'll see his back and long hair breifly in the clip).

amanda had a second interview for a marketing position yesterday. it seems to be going really well, but please pray that she will get this job. it's really important, especially considering she found out her contract wasn't renewed with LAUSD and she therefore doesn't actually have a teaching job anymore. we need this one!

anyway, back to sitting here and getting paid. stay tuned!
