Crunch time

GR45 has been in hardcore deadline mode for more than a week now, and we're still not close to being done. But I think it's got a great mix of famous people--to GR readers, at least--and up-and-coming people that we think have a lot of promise and a lot to say. Plus, there's tons of travel-related pieces... I wish I could give you a more detailed preview, but if you read our blogs you'll find some hints. Anyway, there's a lot going on here at the office with a number of friends dropping in to help and Wendy and Pryor coming in after their day jobs to work late into the night. For us, it's party time.


This evening we'll take a break to play softball. The Giant Robot team is taking on VCA. They're the number-one team in our parks-and-rec league --a group of assassins that has been mercy-ruling opponents left and right. Eric and I missed GR's last match-up with them because we were doing the talk at the Walker in Minnesota, but we got creamed 27-3. We'll have to play a flawless game just to keep it close, but that's part of the fun.


In other non-deadline-related news, there's an art show with Susie Ghahremani at GR2 on Saturday! She's driving up from San Diego to L.A. today, and I can't wait to see her smiling face and awesome artwork. I wonder how her grammar, spelling, scanning, and path-cutting skills are?
