SLIM PICTURES DELAYS
As you may have noticed, there was no newsletter last month. It was going to be sent on September 15th but then September 11th happened. The majority of subscribers to this newsletter live in New York and Los Angeles, so we here at Slim Pictures are praying for your well-being and the well-being of the world.

PUBLIC APPEARANCES
There are still upcoming speeches booked and a number have already been given. Please check back to the site, as additional dates are often added at the last minute. To see the scheduled dates for the 2001 season, starting at the end of this week check here. A special thanks to Diane Williams for her support.

NEW PORT SOUTH
"New Port South," a film written by James Hughes and directed by John Hughes was released in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois in early September as part of a limited release. Unfortunately, it will be a "straight to DVD" release. The film was shot almost entirely in the Chicago suburb of Libertyville. Slim Pictures regulars who were used as extras in the film include Chris Pry, Erin O’Kane, Jeff Lord, and myself. Rent or purchase it when it’s available to support a Chicago-born film!

COLUMBIA COLLEGE
The fall 2001 semester is finally underway at Columbia College. As a junior I am continuing my major of Television Production and Writing. My courses include "The Television Producer," "Individual Visions," and "Video Techniques III," and in internship with CLTV (a Chicago-cased and oriented 24-hour news channel). Video Techniques III teaches how to use AVID Xpress, the best editing software available. And at CLTV I will be performing producer duties on a weekly entertainment show titled “Metromix.”

SITE OF THE MONTH
People Technology, owned by JP Maurer, is the company that hosts this site and a number of others including mygreenhonda.com and chrisandnickshow.com. Maurer exercised very good taste in how every web site he hosts by supporting the American Red Cross. His design highlighted the urgency and urged donations while keeping the significance of the September 11th events fully in tact without the tasteless exploitation that is starting to become apparent in the media now.
