Dear friends and cherished readers,

Today I made the long and difficult journey from Manhattan to East Hampton by bus. Subsequently, after a Big Gulp-sized iced coffee I bought as I disembarked the Jitney, I spent the day helping out jb in a big, arty warehouse for this evening's preview of Scope.

After this morning's 6AM wake up call and the hearty burger I just devoured at some place called Rowdy Hall, I am exhausted.

So, I apologize for not presenting a new contender to you today--I had a good one lined up and everything. However, my bed (or lovely corner couch, that is) is beckoning and I must forgo this evening's post for some shut-eye. I know you're all demolished and distraught by this unfortunate news, but I'm sure you'll get over it at some point in the near future.

I'll see you all tomorrow, I hope.

All my love,
Marina

P.S. At Scope, we're showing plenty of former hot shots, like Karolina Karlic, Brad Moore, Ian Baguskas, James Deavin, Joe Holmes, Christine Collins, and Alison Grippo. So, maybe you should try and be a hot shot, too!
