Happy Holidays to all, and to all an impeachment.

As promised, I bring news from last weekend's holiday party. Turns out my house isn't too small! Especially when a blizzard keeps most of your guests away.

The party started off with a bang as Erica and Seth read Sam some bedtime stories.

Here is Joey enjoying some salmon. Is it just me, or does he look a little menacing here? "Take the damn picture, Gen, and let me eat my fancy fish!"


Here we have Bill Fortune, board member extraordinairre and Andrew Reuland, supporter of ICT extraordinairre. And don't forget to notice Craig's and my teeny tiny Christmas tree featured in the background.

One of our newest company members, Rachel Sypniewski and her fiance Robb. Robb made some peanut brittle for us. I was totally channeling Back to the Future -- except it was really, really good peanut brittle.

Stephen, Sarah, Joey and Majel gather around the food. Or perhaps it was the wine. Or perhaps it was the winegaritas. (Take one margarita bucket. Follow directions on bucket -- except when it says add tequila, add wine instead. Voila. Winegarita.)
I know what you're saying now. How could this party be any more wild and crazy? Peanut brittle? Winegaritas? Geez Louise, is this even appropriate for the Weekly Digest? Well, here's where the real party started, folks. A big argument broke out whether Clinton was actually ever impeached. Remke saved the day by referencing everyone's favorite news source.

But then things got really heated when we discussed what did and did not belong in a refrigerator. Peanut butter is a definite no, and Joey should tell his mom that by my posting it on this blog it is now officially wrong of her to keep her peanut butter in there. It seems that syrup in the fridge is also a no. I am still unconvinced, as you can see.

And unfortunately, when I tried to take a picture of Diane answering her fill-in-the-blank titles on Scene It in her freakishly fast way, my camera simply exploded. Alas.

All the best in the New Year.

my first time

it's my first entry on the ICT Weekly Digest. PRESSURE.

blah di blah. blogging about ICT. telling you all our successes and bragging and attempting to entice you to enter our den of entertainment. Etc. etc. business. business. business.

Ok. Here is my best shot. wehavemanysuccessfulmembersinourcompanythatyouaregoingtodig
seeingthisyear andweallworkveryhard andweneedyourmoney andweneedsometimeoff andwelovewhatwedo andartreallyrocksandisvaluableandimportant andMerryChristmas... whoopsimeanhappyholidaystoall.

Now that that's done...

here is my list on real ict news this week

1. not only did diane design a kick ass set for Resort 76, she designed it so that we could reuse most of the set pieces for storage and organization at our space out in california (aka the west side of chicago), where our office resides. this weekend we are cleaning out our space and my dream of obsessive organization is about to come true.

2. we chose our season for 2008-2009, but we don't have the rights yet, so i won't be announcing it today. but i can tell you that we did not choose any comedies. not really. our entire company was dead set on choosing comedies and talked a big game. but in the end, nobody proposed them. not very many anyway. and the ones that were proposed, nobody liked. i told the company i think we needed to accept ourselves for who we are and embrace the drama. which we clearly adore.

3. i am having a party at my house for the entire ict company and board on saturday night. i will share pictures next week. i don't think everyone is going to fit. actually, i know everyone will not fit. but i'm sure it will be fun anyway. this is our first year without a white elephant gift exchange. i think people are sort of pissed at me for not planning one into the festivities. but we can't all fit... and... forget it. it's my party. i'm not defending it.

4. majel and joey chose the images for the 24 Hour Project in january. and they sent them to craig to send as a sneak peek to our subscribers. but they won't let me see them, because i am writing a play for it, and they think that will give me some huge advantage. they clearly are misinformed on my writing skills.

5. i (or someone from the company) will be updating this every week. check back soon.
