Good News and Hiccoughs

Hicchough is spelled weird

I went to the bank first thing this morning and they couldn't help me access online banking but they did give me a printout of recent transactions which I then used to verify my checking account with Amazon Payments. WOOHOO!
But... now Amazon Payments for some reason needs to communicate with KickStarter or something which could take 7 days. it shouldn't take 7 days I'm sure it could realistically take 5 minutes, but if it's not done by the time I'm done with my interview tomorrow I'll call Amazon.

Oh Yeah, I'm meeting with Caroline Quidort tomorrow afternoon. She is the "Acting Director of Planning, Housing, and Community Development at City of Binghamton". Tonight and tomorrow morning I have to craft up some questions for her. I've been so caught up in preparing my KickStarter campaign that I almost forgot about this interview. Seems ironic, right? I have been focusing so much on getting funds for my project I've forgotten about the project itself, isn't that more important? I have a feeling I might encounter this distraction more than once in my lifetime but hopefully, armed with this realization, I will be able to recognize another possession-in-progress before it's too late.

• So this is where I'm at:
• Interview tomorrow
• Finish KickStarter video tonight
• Launch campaign as ASAP
• curate curate curate

After I'm done with this fundraising process I'll get to start focusing on my actual documentary again 100%

I traveled around with Rosanne Grigoli today and found a new picture for my KickStarter thumbnail picture which is actually perfect:

This is a statue in front of Binghamton City Hall, created by Italian Sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro, and it is exactly what I want to get at with this documentary.

Here's his Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnaldo_Pomodoro

Anyway, yeah. time to get back to editing. I'm having trouble making it informative AND watchable. I cut two minutes out of it today which is good but also a sign I might just be butchering it because I know what the video is supposed to be saying so I fill in blanks with my brain.

Goodnight all.
