-
- I've had a lot of
things happen in this journey that were strange, and
truthfully after this long maybe I'm forgetting
something, but this has to be the strangest mix of two
events in my career ever to happen on the same
day.
-
- So today I had a
contract signing. It was a contract VOIDING my once
exciting 6-month partnership that lasted less than 2
weeks the very day I met with a different development
company that could be offering me the exact same thing
within another 2 weeks. It's a complete and total
whirlwind, but it was wonderful going into the meeting
today knowing the slate was clean and I wasn't
contractually obligated to anyone except the
opportunities ahead of me in this
meeting...
-
- ...which I
obviously cannot tell you a THING about. In fact,
tomorrow I'm going to have to write a locked entry to
analyze everything that happened but suffice to say
they came at me from left field in a way I had
never considered that is indeed far more marketable
than anything I had come up with and with their seeds
of ideas I'm blowing up further fleshing them out.
We're gonna develop the ideas and then it will be
pitched by the head dude at Collins Avenue (Mr.
Collins, imagine that) and if he digs it? We, are,
off. We sign into an agreement to develop the
concepts, they pay to shoot the content and away we
go. This was everything I could have hoped for in
a meeting and I'm honestly just trying to get through
this fucking surface entry so I can write about
everything that happened.
-
- But let me add to
my previous entry, again, how impressive it was for
the show runner to send me a contract voiding the
earlier agreement and falling on that sword. That is
NOT how this business usually works. I mean, it's how
it SHOULD work, but it simply never has in my
experience. Now our argreement was really only for
Hats & Minigolf and my meeting today was decidedly
not about Hats & Minigolf but if he
really wanted to I'm sure he could have found some
angle or loophole... you know what Adam? Ya gotta stop
expecting everyone to be as big of an asshole as they
have been in your past. Your whole life is jumping
again after the fall and presuming goodness in people.
You felt he was a stand-up guy and in fact, he was. I
hope to return the favor someday and have someone like
that on my team. For now however we document me
signing the END of what might be the quickest ride in
the history of The Journey:
-
-
- Ha.
-
- NOW AHHHHHH.
Need to write about the meeting!! SORRY it will
not be public for a bit!!
-
- Gulp.
-
- Adam
