Production Meeting Recap

Pieter opened the meeting with an anecdote about being trapped in an alleged cocaine-dealer’s basement in the 1970s in the Hollywood Hills. The guy may have had a heart attack upstairs, and the basement door was locked from the outside. This was before cell phones. There was only one window and it was too tiny for him to squeeze out of. He didn’t know what to do. He broke the window with a bucket of paint and then he asked one of the women who was trapped down there with him to go through the window. She fit through no problem; she was 28 but had ’’the body of a Chinese gymnast.’’ Pieter said the moral is ’’think about the other people around you.’’

Sarah asked if ’’Wonder Glen’’ is one word or two words.

Nick reported back on the experiment to synch up Pink Floyd’s ’’The Wall’’ with the movie ’’Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.’’ He said the project could be called ’’The Wall y Wonka.’’ He floated the idea to ’’a lot of people in the rave and hip-hop scenes’’ and said there’s a lot of excitement.

Miriam said it does not work.

Aidan asked for clarification.

Miriam said that out of curiosity she and Gerry (her husband) tried to play the album and the movie together. Nothing happens. It’s just like the radio is on a random station while you’re watching a movie in Spanish. It gave Gerry a headache.

Pieter proposed a new idea for a Wonder Glen department [Miriam K. note: Wonder Glen is two words]. It will be called ’’Back of the Bus,’’ a database for projects that ’’got the kibosh or are being put to sleep for a while.’’ Pieter said Nick’s idea would be the first passenger at the back of the bus, like Rosa Parks.

Nick said that was offensive to the civil rights community, and also inaccurate. Rosa Parks sat at the front of the bus. ’’Dude, that’s the whole thing that she was about - resisting white power.’’

Pieter assigned Nick to build this new section of the web site.

Sarah reminded everyone that her name is spelled with an ’’h’’ at the end. She is named after Sarah Jessica Parker, her mom’s favorite actress.

Well thank you Miriam for the clarification on Wonder Glen being two words. However its one word on our website so it’s not obvious that that was correct. Plus everyone seems to spell it different ways.

Who cares. Spelling is for little people. It’s Wonder Glen or Wonderglen. Everybody gonna understand it either way.

Not to be too picky here but I do think we should be consistent with the spelling of our company name . “Wonder Glen” makes more sense.
