First off, I wanted to point everyone in the direction of Hammer to Nail once again as we welcome steady contributor Tom Hall into the fold. I've always admired Tom's writing and I feel strongly that our site has gotten a thousand times better after only one post. Tom's approach to film writing is completely aligned with the Hammer to Nail manifesto. But more than that, he's a great writer who will hopefully get a chance to shine even brighter as the site develops. Welcome aboard, Tom!

Second off, I wanted to send my regards to Ray Privett in his new cinematic endeavors. Ray was the only person who would book Cocaine Angel for a seven-day theatrical run in New York City, and it's because of him that I got to wake up one day, walk into a deli, buy a New York Times, and read a kind review of our tiny little movie. Thanks, Ray. Good luck!

Third off, I'm in a hurry and have to go to a niece's pre-school graduation. What an exciting life I lead!
