OK -- so the suckage has diminished a teensy smidge

So I plodded to the mailbox fully expecting to receive some form of dinkage from teh Austin Film Festival today.

No word from Austin. Instead, I found a letter with this:

"Dear Brett,

Congratulations! You have advanced into the Semifinal Round of the 2007 Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting. In so doing, yours is one of only 108 entries to survive the Quarterfinal Round."

Well.

I think I shall avail myself of a celebratory beverage or three this fine evening.
