Originally Titled "No More Salt, Please."
So I posted with a link to a New Mexico bizjournals.com article and there went the equlibrium of the blog, pushing the links and post archives diagonally to the bottom like some misshapen textual BMW logo or a checkerboard pattern gone wrong. It was a link with a solid line of text with an RSS at the end.
Let's try this again without the link...
A group of screenwriters will gather in Albuquerque this weekend to take on the ambitious task of writing a screenplay for a movie in 72 hours. Led by Christopher Coppola, the team will write the script for a project called "Big Bad Voodoo Mama," which will be filmed in 16 days in New Mexico at a cost of no more than $350,000.
The writing process that goes on this weekend will be broadcast via Web cam at www.earsxxi.com starting today at noon and lasting through the weekend. Writing with Coppola will be Nick Paine, Jim Graebner, and Nick Johnson.
Coppola's new media company, EARS XXI, the official sponsor of the Duke City Shootout, recently wrapped production on a television pilot titled 'Biker Chef,' and is in pre-production for another untitled film project that will be shot entirely in New Mexico.
I've tried posting the link without the RSS and it still sends the entire right side of the page falling like an oldster in a Medic-Alert commercial. Sooo, my post to the above article was that...
"This is an interesting experiment conducted by Francis Ford's nephew (the blog-skewing link was inserted right here). I know they're not aiming for an Oscar or Independent Spirit Award so much as they're probably doing it just for experimental purposes. Still, I'm more curious to see if too many cooks spoil the broth.

When I visited some friends in NM a few years ago, I seem to remember reading that there was a big push to film movies there. The local economy needs all the help it can get.
Hope you and the fam are well, I'm finally tackling my email inbox and you will be getting some info about the WriterProcrastinator items I want...
oh, and thanks for the reality check about racial/ethnic typecasting, lol.
It's not a reality check, it's just that I want you to encourage you to create your *own* opportunities as opposed to getting upset about a situation that was doomed from the start.
