Yes, it’s that time of year again. The South Yuba River Citizens League’s (pronounced Circle) 5th annual Wild and Scenic Film Festival is happening this weekend here in chilly Nevada City.

This year will mark my 3rd annual official position as “VIP liaison”, which means I get to meet all the film makers and don’t get to see any of their films. This shot is of fun friend Emily (on the right) and me. I don’t wear a cowboy hat every day, if you must know. It’s an easy identifier for all the out-of-town film makers.

Think I’ll shake it up this year and wear this hat instead:

It looks kind of Dr. Seuss-esque on. You’ll have to check back soon for an actual shot of the hat on my head. I’ll try to get a famous film maker like George Lucas or Spike Lee to be in the shot with me. Hmm, except that they aren’t coming to the festival as far as I know. I’ll see what I can do.
