Another Avenue to Try

A final post from the Las Vegas Film Festival:  sadly, Oxy Morons was not in the running for nor received any award.  I feel bad for the Actor/Director/Manager/You-Name-It-Guy.  He was a refreshing and positive voice to hear.  But I know he will do well.

Another Avenue to Try:  Think I've found an "IN" for getting my screenplay into the hands of an Important Person - a Friend who has a business relationship with Captain Kirk.  Continuing to pursue.  Trying to muster the courage, actually, to call my Friend.

Cripes, I hate to ask for anything.  I would make the worst salesperson, ever.  But nothing ventured, nothing gained.

BTW, "Another Avenue To Try" is a line from one of my favorite Bonnie Raitt songs, The Luck of the Draw.


"...You dust the bottles on the bar counter,
you're writing screenplays on the side.


Three nights a week can keep a girl working
sometimes it's good to lose your pride.


These things we do to keep the flame burning;
and write our fire in the sky...
another day to see the wheel turning,
another avenue to try.


It's in the luck of the draw baby -
a natural law.


Forget those movies you saw little baby,
it's in the luck of the draw.


You turn around and say it's last orders.


You fix the ribbon in your hair.


Tomorrow's letter in the hall doorway
could be the answer to your prayers.


These things we do to keep the flame burning
and write our fire in the sky...
another day to see the wheel turning,
another avenue to try.


It's in the luck of the draw, baby - 
a natural law.


Forget those movies you saw little baby
It's in the luck of the draw."


Thanks, Bonnie.
