Dear Loyal Readers,
Finally, I've decided to take DON'T FORGET TO VALIDATE YOUR PARKING off of Livejournal and onto it's own dedicated site. I know, I know. You're thinking, "But the charm of DFTVYP is that it's on a blog." You may have a point, but it's about time for me to grow up and get my own place. This Livejournal page will only be active to announce everytime a new strip is up on the dedicated site. So please bookmark www.dontforgettovalidateyourparking.com and keep checking back not only for new strips but upcoming silly contests where you can possibly win everything from a free DVD to getting a read at a top agent or lit manager.
Thanks to Monica for all the hard work she put into building the new site!

Let me tell you about a little film... This political thriller/satire called "W.M.D." I had my dirty hands in it. It's a little bit CATCH 22, a little bit THREE KINGS, with a dose of RESERVOIR DOGS thrown in for good measure. We shot it indie, modest-budget (no way this would ever be a studio film). With our culture still heavy with the black cloud of Bush's policies, Cheney's face on every talk show championing torture, Pelosi waffling on waterboarding, and the controversy of Obama blocking photos of detainee abuse...this is a pretty good time as any to unleash the film. It's bound to offend and put off some people, but as Charles Barkley's Theory of 50/50 proposes: No matter what you say, 50% of the people will like it, while the other 50% will hate it. So yeah, I expect to get some shit for this one. Such is life! Anyways, here's the teaser trailer the producers have taken to Cannes with them:
