JMS mentioned somewhere, posts or the script books, that after he
lands a new contract or deal he goes out and purchases some little
nice thing for himself. I believe I recall reading that he and Rod
Sterling bought something simliar at one time.

Did JMS ever mention what he purchased for himself after selling the
Changling script?

I've never been a guy who likes a lot of flash.  Anybody who's ever
seen me knows I don't go for expensive clothes, or fancy cars, or the
latest styles.  I shop at the Gap and Land's End.  I don't have
expensive paintings or jewelry.  I travel light.  I'm a simple kind of
guy.

But the Changeling sale was such a major event, such a
transformational experience, that I thought...this really has to be
something special to mark the moment.  A once in a lifetime splurge.

So I got something I've long wanted: the Torneau Gotham Tahiti del Sol
watch.  It's my lucky watch, and I only wear it to big events and
important meetings.  The rest of the time I just kind of look at it
and smile.

Joe,

Who would have guessed that a Superman Super-T would have led you to
become Lands=92 End customer?

Have you considered writing a short article for Lands=92 End much like
Garrison Keillor has?

Are you able to share information on any radio, television, print or
web interviews that occurred in the last few days?

Did you attend the cast and crew screening of Changeling that occurred
yesterday (Tuesday October 14, 2008)?

Can you share with you which cities will be part of limited showing of
Changeling on October 24, 2008?

By the way Universal=92s Changeling websites are amazing. It=92s great to
see your film get the publicity it deserves.

Nobody's asked.

I did an interview for the LA Times that will be coming out in a big
spread on Sunday, an interview for the Hollywood Reporter, Script
Magazine, NPR's All Things Considered, and there are a bunch more yet
to come.

Yep.

Dunno, I don't generally get that kind of information.

It's terrific.

And let me just say that while I think Leanne did a great job on
Project Runway, Kenley really got robbed tonight.
