I'm abandoning my kids!

Animation Mentor's holding their first-ever job fair next Friday, and I'm actually flying out there ahead of my family. We're all going to the BBQ the next day, but we can't all drive out soon enough for the fair. Boo.
Anyway, Sony'll be there, along with several big names -- including the biggest, but I already got my rejection email this year, so I'll get back to them later -- and I get to meet and greet and shake things and such. I'm already sending the Sony animation director my updated reel (see below; the copy he already has doesn't have any Star Trek on it), but I'll drop one off with the recruiters anyway, just for good measure.
The nice thing, though, is there's no undue pressure to land one of these companies. I just got asked to stay on at Technicolor for their next project! The reason I'm not torn about staying longer is that, unlike this last one, the next project is all keyframe! No mocap! I just might get to put something from one of my jobs on my reel!

In the meantime, however...
