These past few weeks Andy has been involved with the first annual Kern Projections Film Festival. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to enter his movie, Stamped!, into the festival because of the fact that it's still in post production but he did get a chance to help out a lot behind the scenes. He volunteered his time and equipment to making the festival a success. I won't say any more because it's really Andy’s thing to write about but in return for his hard work one of the things he received was an invitation to the awards dinner and I was lucky enough to be his date. It was a huge honor to be able to go and for free nonetheless considering the dinner was $150 a plate. My sister, Nichole, was awesome enough to watch both the kids for me so Andy and I
got a chance to go together with no kids. The dinner was a formal event so we got to get all dressed up. When we got there everything was decorated so fancy and elegant. It felt like what I've always imagined the after party for the Oscars to be like. When we first got there Andy introduced me to some of the people he's been working with and they were all very nice. This lady came by from the Bakersfield magazine and asked if she could take our picture. Afterwards she told us to make sure and read the December edition because we would be in it. We sat at a table with this really fun couple who also helped out with the festival, some college student volunteers, and one of the directors.
Earlier in the week Andy told me all about one of the documentaries he had seen about this man and his son who traveled the world to visit every amusement park in the world. This man also collected pieces of the attractions themselves and put them all in his home. The film was called Finding Kraftland. During dinner we actually got to meet the man behind the camera and we even got a personal invitation to visit his home in Los Angeles. Our dinner was good and very pretty. I almost felt a little bad for eating it and I couldn't resist ta
king a picture of my salad. The evening continued and all the awards were handed out. It was a great night. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to watch any of the films this year though so hopefully they'll get a chance to replay them. I'm sure everyone did a great job. I sure enjoyed getting to meet all the people there. I can't wait until next years film festival. I'm looking forward to being able to watch some of the films and seeing Andy's movie win an award.

It was soo good to see you and the kids this week. We need together more often. You're invited to our house anytime as long as you bring the kids.
