At The Water Cooler:

What we’ve been Doing:
- Jacob attended the SXSW Film Festival, explored SXSW Gaming, had dinner with /Film friends, and met some very friendly readers and listeners. He has also decided it is time to catalogue his entire library.
- Brad went to Victoria, British Columbia to visit the set of The Boy 2, has been preparing to get back into improv for an upcoming charity show, and started to catalog his movie collection with the Sort It! Movies app.
- Chris went to Austin for the Pet Sematary premiere and press junket at SXSW, and attended an Alamo Drafthouse for the first time.
- Hoai-Tran saw The Pixies and Weezer at Madison Square Garden.
What we’ve been Reading:
- Chris is reading Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou.
- Jacob is almost done with Wolf in White Van. He also read the first four hardcover volumes of Fullmetal Alchemist and Junji Ito’s Shivers collection.
