I temporarily ceased any other video work I had going so I could load every piece of Evan video I have into the Avid.  I won&#8217;t tip my hand about the music, other than that it involves the Traveling Wilburys.  But going through all that video has kinda made me realize how much he&#8217;s grown in the past year, and how much I have too &#8211; I kinda had to grow the hell up, a bit more than I&#8217;d realized.  I still don&#8217;t know what the heck I&#8217;m doing, really &#8211; I don&#8217;t have a playbook that I&#8217;m operating by.  All I do know is that it&#8217;s now been a year since I become A Guy With A Baby.  Somewhere in that year that&#8217;s passed, I&#8217;ve become Dad.  And I don&#8217;t doubt for a moment that it&#8217;s an improvement.  He&#8217;s the best part of being me, and from here on out he always will be.<\/p>\n<p>This also means that it&#8217;s been a year since I gave up full-time gainful employment.  Despite that, I&#8217;ve surprised myself and, I think, everyone else by still pulling in some money while I&#8217;m on daddy duty.  There were people who predicted dire things for us income-wise, and you know, it <em>hasn&#8217;t<\/em> been easy&#8230; but for the most part it hasn&#8217;t been a train wreck either.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, it looks like those of you hitting gaming events &#8220;up east&#8221; will have two chances to pick up the PDF DVD &#8211; at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccagshow.com\/\">CCAG<\/a> in Cleveland on October 12th, and the following week on October 18th in Reading, PA at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toomanygames.com\/\">TooManyGames<\/a>.  I won&#8217;t be there in person, but plenty of DVDs <em>will<\/em> be.  \ud83d\ude42  The sudden surge of duplicating I&#8217;ve done for these two shows has brought the total print run up to 200, so if you&#8217;re in those parts of the country and haven&#8217;t picked on up yet, hit up Tim Snider at CCAG or Scott Stilphen at TMG those weekends and get caught up&#8230;especially before the PDF Level 2 DVD comes out next year!<\/p>\n<p>OK, back to the birthday boy for me.  I&#8217;ll have his video up for your amusement and amazement this weekend, and I&#8217;m hoping that next week I&#8217;ll have another treat finished at last for those who enjoyed that little video piece I did about catching you up on the mythology of a certain TV show in 35 minutes.  Little hint: you&#8217;ll need another 30 minutes free in your schedule somewhere, and then you&#8217;ll be caught up on the <em>rest<\/em> of what&#8217;s going on in that universe.  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evan&#8217;s birthday is today, and I&#8217;m working on a little video piece to celebrate the occasion.
