First screenwriter's workshop

Well, we actually had out first post-class screenwriter's workshop last night. I was there early as usual and as it creeped closer to the appointed time with nobody showing up I was afraid I'd be stood up again.

Ah, but all was well as two other former classmates showed up and much catching up was done. I didn't have anything specific other than to hash out some possibilities on a screenplay idea I have. It still may not pan out as realistic, but the group discussion showed me some possibilities that I hadn't considered before. That's what workshopping's all about! Next meeting is tentatively in about 5 weeks. It's always tough to get people together but we did it once, so hopefully again!

In other news, I ordered a Wii online. What a pain trying to get one has been. CircuitCity had 'Wii bundles' for sale, but no Wii consoles alone. So you were stuck paying full retail price for Wii peripherals and games that you may or may not want along with the Wii (you had to buy 2 games at $50 each, plus buy another controller). Thankfully, Walmart.com had the console alone for sale. I had to pay for shipping, but I figured it was worth the extra cost just for the hassle factor alone, plus it'll keep me from driving to different stores to see if they have it in stock so I'll save the gas. It should arrive at the end of next week.
