We had follow-up meetings at Starz Ent and Exodus Film Group. Both went really well. We also got a tour through the Simpsons production facility. Too cool. We got to geek out for a while.

Nickelodeon Animation is a cool facility. The entry is huge and filled with art. Plus, they have a huge kitchen with free drinks and popcorn for the entire staff.

The trip also included some fun. We attended a screening of the Justice League animated movie in Beverly Hills at the Paley Center. The directors, writer and stars were there to answer questions. It was a great presentation.

We just read an article in Variety about an old friend of ours, Chris Linn, who is now Exec VP of production at MTV.

Notice the last paragraph talking about his start in 1990 at Nickelodeon. Our illustrious Jeanne Simon is the producer who hired Chris at Nickelodeon.

We met with Mike Young Productions/Moonscoop and Warner Bros today. Great meetings. We were surprised at the reception we got at WB. Plus, seeing the projects they are working on is so cool.

They also have a wall in their offices where famous artists draw right on the wall. We’ll post some photos after we get back to the office.

We had a great meeting at Nickelodeon. They had tried to develop a property like one of ours but couldn’t get it right. We resolved all the issued they ran into. Our proposal is now going to all the department heads for their input. Keep your fingers crossed.

The Biz Journals ran an article on our deal with B.C. and Wizard of Id this morning. http://orlando.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories/2010/02/22/story3.html#

Yesterday we got to LA and had two really good meetings. One was with Exodus and the other was with Frederator, based at Nickelodeon. Each meeting ended with our proposals going on to the owners of the companies.

Today we have a meeting at Nickelodeon.

We are finally announcing our latest deal. Last December we secured the rights to produce TV series and feature films of the hugely popular comic strip properties B.C. and Wizard of Id. The first press articles will come out on Friday, so you are the first to know about it.
