Gravityland It's just beginning.→[More:]On the blue. LT cameo in episode 1.
The director/visionary/maestro is a local acquaintance of mine and the director of an improv troupe that LT belongs to. It's a pretty neat project actually.
Um... Miko, I have the highest respect for you and I don't want to be a killjoy but does your knowing the guy behind the project make your post to the blue a quasi-self link?
Yeah, that's why Projects was created. If it helps, neither one of 'em asked me to post it - I did it of my own accord. No behind the scenes funny business.
Do you really think so? It's not a project I'm involved in even a little bit. I saw that the relevant MeFite had posted it in Projects and thought that someone should FPP it.
I really am not trying to push guidelines. Maybe I'll just ask the mods to take it down. It seemed OK to me - Many times I've seen someone ask whether they could post a self-link, and the usual response has been for someone to say "post it in Projects and I'll FPP it."
Miko emailed me and I thought it was fine too, really. The guidelines mostly exist so that we don' thave to second guess whether someone is secretly trying to send Google juice/linklove their friend's direction. I think this is a good post.
