Last Saturday, while Kim & I watched Withnail & I<\/i><\/a>, Matthew Rose spent a marathon session on my Mac editing the footage we took of the first inaugural St. Mary’s Scrabble Invitational Tournament held at Zach Messitte’s parents’ place on the Maryland coastline this summer. It was the closest tournament ever. To find out who was crowned champion, you’ll have to watch the video, on the Photos<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

[Tue, Nov 27 2001 – 23:50] Stefan<\/b> (www<\/a>) (email<\/a>) I’d like to direct your attention to a newly restored print of this instant classic–you can now download a hi-res version of this short film from the photos page. At a whopping 42MB, it’s only for those with DSL, cable, or patience. <\/p>\n

[Wed, Nov 28 2001 – 11:51] Matthew<\/b> (email<\/a>) STEFAN and Matthew? STEFAN and Matthew? Am not sure sitting in the next door room and occasionally barking the words “cake” and “I’m not from London, you know,” counts as cooperation. <\/p>\n
