Talkin' Turkey

I traveled home to Philly this morning to have a traditional holiday dinner with the fam, which was hosted by my aunt and uncle. It was a fine, fine time and made my neurotic grandmother quite happy.

Thanksgiving dinner also gave me the opportunity to catch up with my cousin who is a producer for a major news station in Philly. As we feasted on roasted turkey and candied yams, we talked turkey about how to get media attention for some upcoming projects, one of them being, the first annual "Slicey Awards" where the winners of Pizza Month 2008 will be revealed, and ten more Pizza Month videos which were distributed to different film editors will be screened - one of which will be mine. (Speaking of which, I still have some editing to do.)

How cool would it be if we could bring in some news crews to cover our event? Pretty friggin' cool.

My cousin offered some sound advice, which we'll try out - although Rome wasn't built in a day. As a matter of fact, neither was the USA.
