USA Today

After returning from the NRA Show, and not even upacking my motorcycle, I had the wonderful experience of meeting Craig Wilson from USA Today. We spent the afternoon together at a few restaurants, talking with managers and staff about some of the unique issues of restaurant work in a resort community as opposed to restaurant work in "the real world". We had a delicious meal at Gilbert's in Lake Geneva, where I had previously worked, and chatted about my movie and also about the new movie "Waitress" which was recently released. It really strikes me how very different the movies are in some ways, yet there are very similar threads that run through each one. The timing is also amazing to me, and I hope it helps us to be discovered by someone who can help get the word out. We will see! As I said in the other note, better get back to work! Cheers!

NRA Show

WOW!
It was absolutely an amazing experience to be at the show in McCormick Place. The place is massive and there were thousands of booths and millions of people! Well maybe not that many but it sure seemed like it! I was up and down every isle and enjoyed meeting loads of great people. I knew it would be fun...restaurant people can't help but be fun! I did manage to eat some delicious food and try a bit of wine, but I really was busy yapping happily about the film. Now it's time to sort it all out and contact everyone. It will take a while--but it will get done! Ok, back to work!

NRA Show

Hey!

Patti here and I am going to go to the National Restaurant Association Food Show in Chicago this weekend! (May 19th-22nd) I am excited as I will be around really cool people again...the restaurant crowd. I have been holed up working on the movie and all the behind the scene type things that go on, so it will be fun to get out again! I am going to do research, learn new things and eat a bunch! Better wear my big pants for this! Will be back with any news. Slainte! Patti... (Oh yeah, that's cheers in Gaelic)
