>>>>>[Hi Everybody! Guess What I Did??? I got to hold an Oscar! You know,
the
award the give out in the California Free State for things like Best Actor,
Best Sound, and Best Sim? Well, I hung out with Trent Barbaers, who won for
best Docusimulation, about the Nightwraith attack that ended the Eurowars.
It was really cool.
You see, Raven's school has been going through some hard times lately.
They're trying to recruit more Metahuman students, especially Orks and Trolls,
but it's an expensive school and many people can't attend. They're also being
rocked by sexual scandal-seems the good ole' girls in the Cybernetics dept
are coming on to some of the junior faculty a little strong. Anyway, she wanted
to see some of her old friends and profs and it turned out that Trent's film
/simulation had been brought by the student government for all to see.
Well, at first I wasn't too thrilled by it at all-docusimulations
just don't do it for me. But then I realized that Trent had won a major award
for this, and I realized I could make a contact in the industry. So I stood
near Trent and gradually made my way, and we got to talking about the show.
We went outside for a smoke and I got to CARRY THE OSCAR. We talked and I was
told about a number of internships available in Santa Monica but especially
North Carolina, where they're opening up a new studio.
I watched the sho and it was pretty exciting. Afterwards, we went out
to Dead Robin and had some drinks. Trent had to talk to some groupies but had
promised the people at the bar that he'd show the award around, so Igot sent
to show it to everyone. It's at least 20 kg!
So anyway, I'm just hopping around from node to node now giving everyoneOscar
Power <!-bzzzt-!>. I'm going to have to write my other contacts, Ms. Erin
Spelling and Ford Harrison; maybe I'll be a star really soon!

See you guys later]<<<<<
