When your intended audience completely ignores you, 'private' probably isn't the correct word.<br /><br />'Irrelevant' is closer to what I meant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-45487798014688947922011-02-09T12:32:21.688-08:002011-02-09T12:32:21.688-08:00AN is dead for us because we were all over it some...AN is dead for us because we were all over it sometime ago, but it's more than just "private conversation" between two people. How is a public conversation private ? Apparently 45 people at their "Animation Night" so, readership. Look, I don't care, whatever, just letting yall know.<br /><br />Anyway,I don't hear any complaints about the union and the movies are doing well.

When people are upset about something, they show up and complain. TAG members fill up AAI classes and show up to Gallery 839 openings, they just don't usually feel the need to go to meetings. I know I usually don't feel the need. taking the lack of meeting attendance as a sign of something negative just shows how naive those yokels at AN are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-4157372916893201372011-02-07T14:53:00.085-08:002011-02-07T14:53:00.085-08:00Participation at Animation Nation has been virtual...Participation at Animation Nation has been virtually dead for a couple of years except for Chuck, who has too much time on his hands, and Snakeskin, who's not even in the animation industry. AN was an experiment that had it's time, and has now slipped into complete obscurity. You know when the site isn't getting any hits - that's when Chuck throws up another attack at TAG. Thanks to the link above, AN will have a little blip of increased readership. People will go check it out, and see it's really just a private conversation between two cranky people who don't know what they're talking about, and move on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-37923066498821774922011-02-07T08:49:35.273-08:002011-02-07T08:49:35.273-08:00Miss the union but I've been lucky to be fully...Miss the union but I've been lucky to be fully employed.

I've been in the union since Karen Storr was president, and Kevin did an outstanding job. I only hope Bob will accomplish half as much as Kevin did. At the Christmas party, I was talking to one of the executive board members who thought the same thing.<br /><br />People like Bob and Kevin and Tom who stick their necks out to stand up for all of us deserve our support and applause, not anonymous snark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-31912840589336886432011-02-05T20:35:10.764-08:002011-02-05T20:35:10.764-08:00...

At the time I was just a young, dumb kid and didn't realize I would one day find myself 65 years of age. Lucky for me, I was able to retire with full benefits because of the union.<br /><br />Trust me, you're only screwing yourself if you do other wise. Don't believe me?
