PERILS OF BLOGGING - II
After yesterday's posting on the downside of blogging, where I focused on some of the negative feedback I've gotten, even from sensitive souls who pick up on something I have said parenthetically in an otherwise positive comment, I must say that many people have expressed gratitude that I've mentined them at all, In fact, some people have complained that I haven't mentioned them. And I did notice yesterday that I was careful not to use any names.
But from Casnada to California and from Maine to Gary Marino, I've received comment. Toronto's Ambrose Roche, who sends me Canadian films, and for whom I try to find music-themed fims for his NXNE festival, comments on my film aestetics;former BUFF manager Kat Thomas, who is running a marathon next weekend, and who aways kidded me about my computer phopia; friend, former colleague and writer Richard Flanagan, who is writing his autobiography on line; Gary Marino, producer and subject of MILLION CALORIE MARCH, who himself is in training to run the Boston Marathon; Anna Feder and Kevin Monahan, who have fundamentally taken over BUFF: The LiQuid Lunch crowd and Kim DiVincenzo, who drives all the way from Haverhill to do volunteer work with me, and who has two jobs and a developing social life, who can't possibly have any time to read my blogs; Coolidge samurai Alan Spatrick, who, with his wonderful wife Kaj Wilson, who programs the Boston Jewish Film Festival, took me to hear The Alloy Orchestra in Somerville on the night of the big storm; good friend and former wife, Rosemary, who comments on how my typing skills have declined; filmmaker (PACKRAT) Kris Britt Montag, who scouted films for me in Sundance (although she preferred skiing), who led the team of people who redesigned my website, taught me how to blog, and who sent me a Washington Post article about a woman who got fired because of her blog; and, cinematographer and friend Ed Slattery, who talked me into blogging in the first place, and who can quote me things I've said in blogs weeks after I've forgetten I've even said them.
So, thanks to these and the scores of others, some of whom I've never met, who not only have taken the time to read whatever random thing I may be thinking at the moment , but who also have given me the kind of cnstructive feedback I try to give to others.
