These are nice. Military-esque, grey, removable patches like a real bomber jacket. The stitching, the laces, the inside Agent Orange, orange. The real jacket patch is a nice tough. Branding that you can’t miss, all in a shoe that’s under $100 retail. Converse are never that expensive, so all this falls in line. Thanks Converse for sending a pair. I’ll rock these for sure. Velcro, the forgotten favorite. Using that military font… Consistently orange. One day, we’ll get to make a shoe that I could wear daily. I like the back. The fabric with the pattern is nice.

Yes, I spoke right after, but George Takei is bad ass. He mentioned that giving hugs can lead to swine flu, but I hugged him anyway.

Interviewing filmmakers is a fun job actually. Even when you have to do 20 of them! That’s my gig for the directorschairsite.com. I brushed up and memorized the films of each person and had to formulate questions pretty much on the fly. I’m not sure if this is second nature or not since in the end, I feel like I’m doing a pretty good job at it all without knowing that much about each film. I don’t get to preview 20 films or anything like that… so, I do the best I can. I’d like to see others do this. I’ll bet they’ll flounder.
