Jackie was nominated for an Annie Award this year for her stellar work on Spiderman. For us, it was like winning an 'all-expense-paid trip for two' to Los Angeles to attend! The only difference is that the expenses were paid by us. Regardless, we blissfully jumped a plane and spent an awesome night in our fanciest duds. The really nice thing was that Jackie's parents swung by on their U.S. roadtrip to meet up with us.
We also were fortunate enough to know two amazing animators and people who work at Disney. They gave us, and Harry and Pat a guided tour of the studio. THE studio. Thanks to Trent and Benson for being so gracious with their time. We love those guys.
The day we left I came down with an awful flu that put me out of commission for a week. On the bright side I was able to really catch up on my Game of Thrones reading.
Also, we got stuck at the parking lot booth at the airport for about half an hour for not having our ticket to get out. We paid it, but the machine didn't spit out the ticket. Instead we got issued a parking violation made out to Anprow J. Frod. On Anprow's behalf I called the parking lot management and they did indeed had a record of the payment and all was forgiven.
Highlights:
- Reconnecting with Harry, Pat, Trent, Benson, Rich, Mike, Karen and Monica.
- Touring Disney Animation Studios.
- Sushi and margaritas in Pasadena.
- Looking so good.
