Thought I should update you on the call I had with the Producers

It not only went well, it went exceptional. They were so impressed with the way my manager handled the call and how I conducted myself as soon as I described the series they were interested in, I swear I could almost hear them wetting themselves on the phone. The Producers gatekeeper reached out to me later in the day and told me that he had never seen his boss so excited about a project and how far along we were.

As of this morning I have been asked to prepare a full package for the studio. My manager and I have been on the phone almost every day this week. He's got 30 years in the business and he tells me there's an 80 percent chance we are going to have a sale. So let me shut my mouth, get off here so I can get to work on preparing this package. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I'm so humbled this morning. Cheers.

Not real clear on what we're talkin' about here but it sounds like something we should celebrate.

came to my mind during that whole sorry spectacle of the 2008 bailout. Like Yossarian, I may just start swimming to Sweden one of these days

As someone familiar with the biz & following your story, I know this is a huge and wonderful development. Of course, as they say, there's no offer until there's an offer, but my fingers will be crossed for you. Knock 'em flat!
