Countdown to My Crisis

In seven days, I'll be on a flight to San Diego. Two days before that, I'll be without a DSL connection at home. I'm still working on touching up some pitches, scripts and letterings. I'm putting together my first-ever portfolio, and I'm getting ready for my biggest push of DearPirate.com yet.

In short, I'm terrified.

But right now, every hour and every dollar is budgetted out. The crisis is being handled, and I'm fighting off one mother of a nervous tick in my eye.

So far, crossed of the to-do list includes finally getting my preregistration status for San Diego taken care of, and cleaning out the gutters. Getting the dernwerks.com site its full facelift in time for San Diego is looking doable, with some of the design elements finally getting fixed up. I need to look into the html for an auto-redirect for this blog, but there's a temporary stop-gap measure up that I can live with until mid-August.

The homepage for Dernwerks, though, is the biggest problem at the moment. I need to make it less about news and updates (that's what this page is for), and more about Dernwerks' variety of offerings - something that could literally explode in the near future. I'll have about a dozen pitches and scripts with me in San Diego. I figure this is the year that I finally load up the grapeshot and let loose my creative madness.

More updates later this week.
