Cannot vouch for the reality of this photo sequence, but it certainly is amusing! And a fine reminder that no matter how bad things seem now, they could always be worse (which may, or may not, be comforting to you depending on whether you happen to be a glass half-full or half-empty person).

Just a quick personal note to beg your indulgence during the less-than-usual blogging I have been able to do on BRAD BLOG of late due to necessary work getting the Velvet Revolution under way.

There is much to get done --- and in fact getting done --- behind the scenes, both on the website itself and concerning policy matters and organization. As usual, everything takes more time than I would hope, and revolutions are no exception.

So, I beg your indulgence in the meantime if I am taken away from BRAD BLOG a bit more than I would like for the moment. If that's the case, I hope it won't be for long as we are quickly gathering resources and folks are jumping in to handle much of the work that there are still only a few of us handling at the moment.

I trust you will understand it is for a good cause.

To that end, my apologies to those still awaiting Email or Comment replies from me. I'm doing the best I can to climb the mountain. As usual, I will attempt to get to everything, and please forgive if I am unable to answer in a timely matter (or occassionally at all!)

For those who have asked, yes the Clint Curtis investigation continues, and there should be much to report on in that regard in the near future. The events of the last week or two have taken much of my time for the moment, but not my focus. There will be more...much more hopefully...to report on the matter coming up! So continue to stay tuned!...

(BTW, I have been invited to interview Curtis on-stage in a Live Event currently being scheduled to close the Freedom Cinema Festival which takes place in Park City, Utah during this year's Sundance Film Festival. The FCF is a BRAD BLOG advertiser! So please click their ad on the left to check 'em out!

Their "Clint Curtis/Brad Friedman" event is currently scheduled to take place on Saturday, Jan. 29th, and I am hoping to be able to get there for it, but still working out a few details. If you are near the area, or planning to go to Sundance this year, please be sure and stop by! It will be the first time Curtis and I will have met in person, and I'd be thrilled to say hello to many of you guys there as well! I'll make an announcement in a separate item when I can confirm for certain that I will be able to make it...Which will, of course, keep me away from BRAD BLOG even more in the process!... But again, hopefully you will understand...)
