One of the ways you could describe this whole endeavor is that we’re trying to bring Hollywood to us. Thus far, we’ve managed to locate, communicate and collaborate with some rather weighty folks in the industry. All of this has been done from a basement in the Midwest. We’re shattering the notion that to be involved in a legitimate motion picture you need to be willing to place yourself in the over-saturated, deeply depressing geography of Hollywood.
We’ll certainly be required to travel to Hollywood on numerous occasions during this process, but we’ve already managed to do so much more than anyone really believed to be possible from our little hole in the world. We’ll continue to do more.
Strangely enough, I happened to notice something the other day that seemed to be something of an omen to me (I’m desperate for meaning, I think). We now have a Del Taco in South Bend. I had no idea we were getting one, or even that they had gone national. For those that don’t know, Del Taco is kind of a more disgusting version of Taco Bell (is that possible?). The last time I saw a Del Taco was in California. It would appear that our plan is working! Piece by piece, Hollywood is on its way to South Bend. Del Taco has apparently gotten the memo. Hopefully the weather will be next. It’s like manifest destiny in reverse!
Why can’t we get a real California gem like In and Out Burger or Baja Fresh. Man, I miss those both so much.

That’s bizarre… we have Baja Fresh* here in the DC area (though more in the affluent suburby areas of Montgomery County than where I go to school). Why don’t they have them out where you are? We’re certainly further East than you.
*Not that it matters, given that I’m so hypersensitive to the oil in jalapeños that I can’t even drink water for an hour afterward due to the intense pain >>;
