“And remember, also, added the Princess of Sweet Rhyme, that many places you would like to see are just off the map and many things you want to know are just out of sight or a little beyond your reach. But someday you’ll reach them all, for what you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of tomorrow. “

Cobalt's early sketches of ourselves
Hey Joel! I shook hands with you today (Friday), but I didn’t realize at the time that I was shaking hands with THE Joel Gerlach! I would have told you how AWESOME your trailer for Probe is! Great work! I’m very interested in going to ESTU myself. I’ve done small animations with Blender, but nothing close the quality of your project. I’m very excited to see it! Of course, you probably have a lot of work ahead of you still, but you guys seem to have a lot of fun in those computer rooms. If you get restless, you can just whip out a nerf gun, right?
Looking forwad to seeing your laboriously polished work.

Jensen! I’m flattered. You should send me an email: joel (dot) stargazer at gmail.com. I’d love to talk to you about the DMC and, of course, my second favorite subject, Blender.
Hope to talk to you soon!
