What a year it's been!
On August 25, 2009, I created this very blog. I had no real expectations for it, and I wasn't sure what direction it would ultimately take. While many blogs come and go, I'm very proud that this one has made it this far.
On the blog's first day of existence, I posted a notice about Akira Takarada's appearing in a stage adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's Red Beard. Less than a year later, I would assist Mr. Takarada throughout his entire stay at G-FEST. (I picked him up from the airport and dropped him off at the airport security line. I was the first and last person who saw him in Chicago.) For this reason, I decided to use the above photo of Mr. Takarada from G-FEST's Sunday morning interview to illustrate this blog post. It certainly feels like it's come full circle!
Now we officially start the second year of Sidelong Glances of a Pigeon Kicker. I hope it's just as fun as the first!
Brett,
ReplyDeleteCongrats my friend and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to S.G.O.A.P.K. This is one of my favorite blogs and I will be here "following" (and kibbutzing) all the way.
Kudos. I'll toast you tonight with a beer (or two.. or...well, since you're not here in Kansas, I'll have to drink for both of us) :)
Thanks, Jay, as always! Here's to you, my friend!
