Wish Me Luck

lake_austin.jpgThe time has come for me to bid farewell to New York/New Jersey! Next week, I will become a new resident of Austin, Texas and will be the new communications manager for the Austin Film Society. I’m very excited about all of this but of course sad to be leaving my amazing East Coast friends. I know most film folks will, at least, stop by SXSW so I’ll see you in March, and I certainly hope to continue to hit festivals. I am continuing on as indieWIRE’s documentary columnist and as a contributor to Renew Media’s Resources, so for those who know me online, it might not be too different. If you are going to be in , let me know. I’ll be sure to have all the BBQ spots scoped out.

    Congrats, Agnes. Now maybe we’ll actually cross paths, since I’m only about 90 minutes from Austin!

    I’m so glad with the news. I saw you this year in the “Blogging about film” panel at SXSW and, although you didn’t talk a lot, when you did it was solid. Austin is great and will be even better with you here. Welcome!

    Agnes,
    Sandy and Joel are friends from when I lived at the Boca Chica. I’ve heard great things about you and look forward to meeting you. Welcome to Austin.

    The Austin Film Society is soooooooo fabulous. Lucky you and lucky us that you’re coming.

    Oh my! I don’t visit for a few weeks, and something like this happens! Congratulations, Austin is one of my favourite places. Can I hang out with you at SXSW in March? You’ll be a local by then.
