My girl likes to Party All the Time, Party All the Time, Party All the Ti-ime
Follow-up to the last post after a couple people emailed me. There seems to be some confusion about the various industry holiday parties that first week in December. To add to the confusion, almost all of them are in the span of five days. So here we go to try and clear things up-
Wednesday is the Animation Writers Caucus Annual Reception. The AWC is the caucus in the Writer's Guild of America West (WGAw) - the event takes place at the Writer's Guild.
Friday is the Animation Guild Holiday Party. The Animation Guild is Local 839 of IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees) - the union for animation employees (animators, artists, timers, nuclear technicians, etc).
Sunday is the WGAw Holiday Party. Their holiday party is going to be at the Memphis restaurant in Hollywood.
And then there's the wild card party - the Gotham Group Holiday Wrap Party. My inside source at Gotham (in exchange for 10% of my earnings) let me know that the date isn't set yet, but it looks like it might be on Friday.
I suppose I should find it strange that somehow Christmas and Comic Con are the two times a year where an animation writer can party like a rock star. Someone needs to find an excuse to throw another party sometime between Christmas and Comic Con. "Animation Mardi Gras" or "Animation President's Day".
I'm going to have to get on that.

I vote for Arbor Day.
Not only is it a cartoony sounding word, and we've got the "A" alliterative thing going for us with "Animation," but we modern-day writers really are saving trees compared to our old-tyme-y counterparts by making use of the newfangled Internets instead of printing out paper copies of each draft.
Give a hoot. Party at my place on Arbor Day!
And here I was going to propose Eugene's birthday. When is that, BTW? There's always the floating Annual Animation Writers Ditch and Go to a Theme Park Day. :)
My birthday is a guarded secret. I believe the only ones with that sensitive information are the DMV and the Department of Homeland Security. For some reason, though, I remember giving it to Ian to put in his address book - if he doesn't have it, let me know.
I know it!
(Whoops. I've outed my covert day job at the Department of Homeland Security!)
