Halloween is coming, and the parties have begun. My son opted for Edward Scissorhands, and the universe provided the gear (though a couple of manic family craft sessions also helped).
My son, Tal Day, recently won some nice recognition for a documentary short he put together via the film arts program at Venice Arts. We headed up to Pasadena, checked out all the amazing work, and hooked up with friends.
