Back to the picket factory

January 5, 2008 Strike

After a nice vacation, it’s back to the picket lines on Monday. I’ll be returning to my home studio, Paramount, working the 5:45 a.m. to 9 a.m. shift. That’s *fifteen minutes* later than it used to be, so you can’t say that the WGA isn’t mixing it up for the New Year.

For reasons too nascent to blog about, I’ll probably end up working more van-loading or phone bank shifts this coming month. So if you’re coming out to visit, definitely check the blog the night before.
