It was a terrific time for me and Melissa to be there, and I am very glad that you decided to bring your kids to the show! Hearing what the kids liked in the short was wonderful for me, and I was more than happy to do the drawings for all of them (after all, hearing what they thought makes all the hard work worth while)! I really appreciate you taking the time to write in to the blog as well, it is great to get feedback (especially nice feedback like this)! Thanks again! --Mike Thanks Bud!!

I ended up taking my two sons, despite it being a gorgeous Spring day in Brooklyn. Certainly glad I did. the boys had a blast and I too was quite entertained by each of the shorts. All of them were well done, very creative and unique in their own right. Mike, you will be pleased to note that yours was my 8-yr-old's favorite (that is him by the way in the second photo with his back turned to the camera). My five-year-old decided before the festival started that "Don't Smash" was his favorite and he never wavered on that - although yours did receive a very strong honorable mention! And both those favorable reviews were earned prior to going upstairs, meeting you and getting autographed sketches of Thom. Congrats on the short and thanks for being so nice to all the kids on Sunday. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
