Hey Lynn!! Congratulations! I was at a Chinese restaurant and just happened to glance down and see a cartoon drawing of you on the front of The Stranger! It was awesome.
I hope your doing well! Take care!

It's official: Lynn Shelton is a genius.

Of course, some of us already new this.

You drive a hard bargain! Sadly, I have satellite, not cable. I do get free copies of my book, so expect one.
And I suppose I'll have to wait for the movie to come out on DVD!

Hey! I had an exciting thought: you have a new movie, my new book is almost out. Isn't it time for another trade? I know that last time you got two books for one movie (I was the winner in that deal, anyway! Believe me!) but maybe this time one movie for one book...? No pressure! Sleep on it. Think it over. One movie for one book. That's the deal. Simple as that. Nothing to it. Come on.
No pressure!

I think so! There were about 25 people in the audience, and lots of people were laughing and responding to the movie. I brought a few friends and we all gave highest marks for the audience prize. ;-)

How was Sarasota? Beautiful weather, I hope?

My Effortless Brilliance was fantastic. I really loved it. And I met your dude Ted the music guy, and he was sweet (although, I think, a little weirded-out that I came into the film knowing so much about it).
Well done!
