Our Visual Effects Supervisor arrived today – all the way from Vancouver, B.C.! Some of you may recognize him as the manager of The Fighting Hyphens, a team my Snow Monkeys crushed back in Week 4 of fantasy football league play:
Some of you may identify him as the guy who was offered $1000 to polish off four decadent chocolate desserts after eating a weeks worth of chocolates at my 2009 Chocolate Party, the guy who gave up with only one dessert to go because he was feeling ill – only to feel hungry an hour later and eat again:
Still others will remember him as the voice of the original Quisp, the mascot of Quisp Cereal:
And, of course, still others recognize him as our former Stargate script coordinator:
Now, he’s in charge of making sure that all those spectacular visual effect shots we’ve envisioned in the scripts end up on screen. FTL jumps, shuttle flights, blast waves – it’s all in his hands now.
Well, let’s hope Lawren is a better VFX coordinator than a fantasy football player! 😉 Just kidding, Lawren! Good to see you on the team.
I identify him as the guy who has graciously housesat for you in the past and I thought might be doing that again. Oh no, who’s minding the house? Joe you are a tricky little devil. Who else you got working there that you haven’t told us about yet? Is Robert Cooper doing any writing for you? Carl Binder? Martin Wood?!!! I love him! Is he there too??
So, just out of curiosity, how many co-workers of yours from Vancouver have moved to Toronto to work on Dark Matter?
Who bribed who to get Lawren this gig? 😉 (And welcome aboard, Lawren! Good to see a familiar face! 🙂 )

Hey! I know that guy. 😀 Isn’t he also known as Lawren-Bancroft Wilson? :p
Welcome to Toronto Lawren 😀
Squeeee!
Welcome Lawern! How is Toronto treating you?
Is Mark Savela there, yet?
Do VFX coordinators need instructions on how to build devices like these (link below)?
(I really just thought some people you work with might find it amusing that people take the time to build small Stargates in their spare time)

Yay….another Master of Swords
SWEET to see you a part of this.
A few of these look yummy! http://magazine.foxnews.com/food-wellness/10-outrageous-cookie-recipes-national-cookie-month
Speaking of familiar faces, I had a brainwave last night. I know you’ve probably already got casting all but wrapped up, but I think Conner Trinneer would be a great fit for a lead on Dark Matter!
That is all,

Ya know…looking at that first picture…just slap a wig on Lawren and he’d make a decent Two-Katana-san (yeah…I forgot his number… 😛 ).
🙂

and I thought that Quake as just as good if not better. Now, if only you could hire Quake as well…..
You’re building quite the team Joe, the A Team!
Woo hoo Lawren is in the house! Who is watching yours?
