Gentlemen (and the occasional lady),
Some of you know me, some would prefer to forget me and still others have heard mention of a disturbed Armenian - from Treehouse past - who occupied the corner bar stool and constantly muddied the water with discursive pontifications at full trumpet.
As time went on, the pressures of reality and tending to the affairs of the firm made participation in these rancorous debates a luxury item that I could not afford, although I miss it terribly. Luckily, I've managed to maintain enough friendships to avoid Ran yanking my license to expel snot here on GCA.
The lovely Redhead (who many of you know quite well) has suggested that I'm a far more agreeable (read: obedient) husband after a daily venting of my swollen spleen. Evidently, the retention of venom aggravates my already irritable and cantankerous nature. That and most voice-mails detonated by my ex-wife.
The point of this post (as only part of it pasted for some odd reason) is to query the Treehouse for anyone interested in participating in our feature film project. What does this have to do with architecture? Not much as it turns out (hence, the designation of O.T.) except that one of the main characters is an eccentric newspaper writer with a penchant for playing golf in Birkenstock spikes and obnoxious tie-dye shirts - the entrails of his former life as a rock & roll trivia wizard who gave up drugs, got respectable and replaced his obsession with an encyclopedic knowledge of golf architecture, inflicted on anyone and everyone within earshot.
Obviously, this character is a conglomeration of some of the more dogmatic members of our Treehouse tribe. The Redhead suggested that I rattle the tin cup to ascertain if (a.) anybody remembers me, and (b.) find out if there is any interest in participating in our project. The fundraising has been going incredibly well - owing to the trailer our crew and director shot.
We are gathering support on "Kickstarter," which is a website devoted to getting different kinds of creative projects off the ground.
Here is the link:

We are encouraging everybody who enjoyed the trailer to post it on Facebook and get the word out. Hopefully, production starts in July if we can augment our savings with some outside help.
Thanks! -gib
