Yesterday I found an interesting surprise in my mailbox: an invitation to the 2007 Made in NY Awards. Never heard of it? Me neither. It's sponsored by the Mayor's Office of Film, Theater, and Broadcasting. Google led me to this article about last year's event. The invitation was directed to me through Lion TV, which is the company that produces Cash Cab. Is Cash Cab being honored? I don't know. Am I being honored? Again, I don't know, but I doubt it. I have no idea who will receive an award, or who will be in attendance, or why I'm all of a sudden on the guest list. After all, between Troma and MTV, I've been working on projects that are made in NYC for years. I haven't decided yet whether I'll go or not. This could be my entry into the NYC cultural elite... or it could just be an awkward couple hours of me standing around with nobody to talk to. I'm guessing there will be free food and drink, which would help, although I really can't be sure about that either. Gotta think this one over...
