26
Three very long days. But, we have it. One note — already corrected. Adrian’s sitting in the armchair in my living room eating a brown-sugar Oatmeal-To-Go as I write this. He says it’s very good. It’s his happy-time treat, I think, as this is kind of our celebratory moment.
There’s always an initial panic when sending things to Cyan for approval. I experienced the brunt of it this time, maybe because the majority of the release was written by me and Carla, and it was like our souls sitting out there. “Guys, you’ve got to be kidding me,” is always the feared comment. It’s a looming threat that at the drop of a hat this entire endeavor could go up in a poof via a polite cease and desist letter. But we have to trust that Cyan wouldn’t do that, at least without adequate warning of some kind.
I’ve spent the last several days panicking about the end of the project - or the correct method of dissemination of the release, whichever came first. And, Adrian spent the entire time reassuring me that I had nothing to worry about. Stress from work probably played a part. Sometimes when things aren’t going well in one place, it can bleed over - and it seems there is always something in the background somewhere to mix the colors.
But, sure enough Tony got hold of us late this evening to gave us the approval and we’re now ready to go. I had wondered what he was up to being in the office so late on a Friday night (what’s Cyan up to?) but I’ve rarely gotten specific details. These guys always have something in the works. They’re more secretive than us…
We’ve spent the late, late evening (early, early morning) going over the video we took of the interview the other day, and making the final alterations for the release going out Monday. We figured we’d release it here first, early - so that everyone could see:
