I've spent the last week or two in an increasing state of near-panic. I've been trying to get ready for this year's Ottawa International Animation Festival, which kicks off next Wednesday. The trouble is, I'm actually participating in multiple capacities this year:

- I'm covering the festival for fps
- I'm drumming up interest (read: readers and advertisers) for fps
- I'm pitching one and a half animated series (that is, one with a complete series bible, sample episodes, etc,; the other is a verbal pitch) to anyone who'll listen
- I'm pitching a book proposal

I also kicked off another giveaway contest on the fps site. This time, we're giving away two Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence posters.
