New Events Section

I just wanted to point out that we have a new events section of this blog- there are a couple of google calendars in there that you may want to be aware of. There are:

1) Events that CAN will be planning as a group

2) Events that are going on in Cincy, Columbus, and anywhere even remotely near here that we may not be going to as a group but that you still may want to check out anyway

3) A second calendar of the schedule of Life Drawing classes at the Manifest drawing studio, for those of you who need to do life drawing which is everyone ever. Also a link to their details.

Because these are nifty google calendars, if you use gmail you can integrate them with your own google calendar so they will automatically show up! As I add stuff it will automatically be added to yours too! We live in the future!

This technology is why my calendar is a stuffed mess because I know everything that is going on at all times.

Enjoy!

The proposer puts thought into the presentation and tries to emphasize the positive in order to influence a "yes." When saying yes to a marriage proposal, the target is trusting that you will be awesome to be married to and that you will not waste the life you are requesting. And in a project proposal, the target is trusting that you will be awesome at completing the project you are proposing and that you will not waste the money you're requesting. Before any money changes hands or work starts there needs to be a proposal at least. The proposal is like a contract, only it's more informal. I tend to use proposals, but if I were dealing with larger projects where my risk is greater I would use a contract. Contrac

First Directors Round Table Meeting Recap

The first Animation Directors Round Table Meeting ever, which was last night, was absolutely great. We went over everyone's projects and goals and talked about whatever issues we were having. Everyone was very supportive and encouraging to each other, we set goals for the next meeting, talked about technical issues, and decided upon meeting frequency, and we had some nice booze and trail mix at the same time at the lovely Overlook Lodge . The Overlook Lodge- as a bonus, our table for the Round Table session was actually round . They were also playing Who Framed Roger Rabbit on the screens. I think we need to have another meeting here sometime... After the official business was done we listened to some great live music and talked to each other about various artsy topics. There were a few new faces who I hope we see again, and a few returning ones that I always love to see! We decided to hold the meetings monthly. To make it easy lets set it on the first Wednesday of each
