- Hey
Adam,
-
- Thanks for your
patience. We really appreciate all of your ideas and
suggestions.
-
- We are super
busy with shoots right now and have not had time to
formally come up with how we are going to pitch this
to Jeff. All of your ideas help, so feel free to
continue to send them along.
-
- We will get
back to you as soon as we can.
-
- That came through
at 9:17pm last night. As much as I want to be
hopeful about the fact that they even responded... I'm
in a different mindset. "We are super busy with shoots
right now and have not had time to formally come up
with how we are going to pitch this to Jeff. " could
have EASILY been written 10 days ago and I sit
here with even MORE ideas and I have no clue
as to whether I give ALL of it to them now
without anything being signed? Or if I just hold back,
let them flail about so I can maintain ownership
of what I'm holding onto (more ideas and two great
show titles). It's the proverbial fucked situation.
I haven't contacted Mark yet, but am absolutely
texting him tomorrow about this. In the meantime I
felt it was time to let these kids ride in the Time
Machine:

- That's the shit
that keeps you sane right there. Although it's funny,
I had things to keep me sane in 2009 but while in
the moment of dealing with the awful shit it still
feels the same. The "feeling good" times don't
actually HELP the awful times. In fact, making that
VIDEO is what really takes your mind off shit...
which I've always done. The Journey is a beautiful
tool to frame your life in digestable segments.
I will say this: my crazy feelings lack the
passion of 2009 and even 2009 lacked the passion of
2001. I am indeed older. I can get to the
intensity for mere seconds whereas I was capable of
LOOOOOOOONG stretches back in the day. It's kinda like
Kobe hitting 60 in his last game. He can do it... he
just can never play again LMAO. He probably wouldn't
be ready to play professional basketball for another
week if the season was continuing and was probably
VERY close to a serious injury the entire game.
THAT'S 40. Longer times between your peaks.
I presume 50s and 60s are more of the same...
just even longer. That is indeed slightly depressing,
no doubt. Then again, when you've given SO much
the ENTIRE time there's hardly anything to be
depressed about: you've played the fuck out of every
card you were given, Adam. You just gotta keep doing
that.
-
- But yes, Collins
Avenue did respond and I need to document that
reality. I need to answer the legality question of
ownership before I continue to hand over every
single idea that they could very well say is now 100%
theirs. Their lack of ANY "idea bouncing" other than
the initial meeting (which was more of a "genre"
direction without ANY ideas), is extremely worrisome
and unless there's money on the table with a
development deal and all that shit worked out, I feel
absolutely naive to continue to add more shit to this
pot...
-
- ...but without the
best shit - their pitch to Jeff doesn't work and it
might be the closest I get to a show.
-
- Fuck it all, fuck
it all, fuck it all.
-
- Adam
