A few random things while we wait on the distribution announcement:
-Don’t forget to sign up for at least one of the various ways for us to notify you of upcoming events. We already offered a free sneak preview screening to people in LA, and have lots more events coming around the country. The people on these lists will always get the offers first:

-I just read Traci Lord’s autobiography, Underneath It All, and I was kinda shocked. It is amazingly good, and very well written. Don’t get me wrong, her prose isn’t perfect by any stretch, but the book is incredibly authentic and emotionally self-aware, something that is SO rare in writing, especially autobiographies. I already know from working with her that Traci is very smart, but man–this book is so much more than I expected it to be. If you are a Traci Lords fan or like compelling autobiographies, I highly recommend it.
-I have been nominated to Time’s 100 Most Influential List. No, I’m not kidding, you can even vote for me here. My only goal in this is to move past Zac Efron. I’m only one point away, so get to voting.
-The book is at #3 this week on the best seller list, the highest it’s ever been. In it’s forth year of publication.
-The last month has been so weird for me in this way: I have been recognized more in this past month than ever before. In the elevator of my building, walking my dog in back trails at Runyon Canyon, at my gym, dozens of times in Vegas–it’s like all at once, I went from being recognized once a day at most, to being constantly recognized. Weird. I used to want this attention, but I am not that stupid anymore. I will be glad to pass this stuff to Matt.
