WFAC

So it was the 7th annual Waterloo Festival for Animated Cinema - or WFAC this weekend. I'm not sure how the whole festival went overall - but i know some qatalyst staff saw The Pixar Story on Thursday nite... and said it was amazing... the underdog succeeding... all that good stuff for us crazy people trying to make a living fighting the corporate giants... and I saw RH+ the vampires of seville - it was an animated film from Spain - rated PG, so definitely not as intense as i had hoped for... but still very cool. It's nice to go to see a movie and not know what the hell is gonna happen in it, cuz you haven't been exposed to any of the hype. If you didn't catch the festival this year - i'd definitely recommend marking it in your calendar/cellphone/outlook/blackberry for next year. What else? Caught the On the Catwalk Fashion show for the Humane Society on Thursday nite... it was at the St.George Hall in St.Jacobs. Man, who knew that place was out there? It's a pretty amazing place for an event... especially considering it used to be a barn or something. Veronica - our brand new intern, sweet i know - was at wintersleep and the sourkeys on Wednesday at Starlight... i met with her the next morning and she was done for... so i'm guessing it was a pretty good show. lol. Have an event you want me to list...review... send someone out to or just want me to list? you can send it to me at hilary@qatalystmedia.com. Back to sending emails... H. listening to: Cat Stevens. Fuck yeah.

tic toc tic toc

So.... it's the 6th of the month, and it's right around the time that i start to freak out every f'ing month. It's the point where i'm pretty sure that a lot of mags have been picked up from their locations around the region, but i haven't really heard much feedback from anyone yet... good or bad. so i start to totally freak out... and then continue to be paranoid for about a week... and then i'll get some random emails... and then everything goes back to normal. hahaha. Many thanks to those who have sent through their comments already - they are much appreciated! But... this week isn't all bad - it's also the week that i start pitching new customers ad ideas. which is always interesting. We also have editorial meetings, start talking to contributors about our theme... which is "THE FUTURE" by the way... how ominous. lol. Anyways, lots of cool stuff coming up for December... one of which will hopefully be an interview with a full-on psychic! anyone know anyone good in that line of work? H.
