Jedi Masters Program!

Ahhhh! Too much news! First off, I am in Singapore! Thats right! I am currently visiting this beautiful CLEAN country as a proud member of the Jedi Master Program....

http://www.lasjedi.com/

I am currently serving as a LucasFilm Animation instructor for another week and a half and then back to the US for some much more needed Star Wars action before the holidays. While I will miss both Christmas parties (for the US company as well as the Singapore branch) and my birthday (wipes tear from eye) I dont regret one minute of this wonderful experience. Its like the AirForce all over again. As it stands I am posting this message from a laptop in my very quiet hotel room. My wife Anna was here with me in the beginning, however, she has returned to the states to start her new job at IM Digital! Yes. you read it right...she is working with the Doug Chiang (umm...star wars..) and Robert Zemeckis' (Back to the Future). It is a very exciting time for us, especialy since a very close friend of ours (Roger) works there as well. Speaking of close friends, Shannon will be taking vacation from Weta in New Zealand to visit us next week in San Fran. In fact as soon as I get off the plane we are all scheduled to party together (I cant wait to kick his ass in 1080P with the xbox 360 on my new plasma). Anyways, its going to be very exciting, that is if I can hold up from the jet lag (Singapore is 16 hours ahead of the states....right now it is 5:41 am Thursday morning in the US and it is 9:41 PM Thursday evening in Singapore). Yes I am actually in the future. Ok I am a dork. Last but not least I finally got a chance to see some work that a very good friend of mine (Adam) did for DreamWorks on Bee Movie. It was amazing! Great job buddy! Also, another close friend of ours (Grant) had has a TON of work featured in the recently released Area 51 game....yet another game to buy to kick my friends tail in. If you guys are reading this you can get me xbox 360 controlers for christmass so I can crush you when you come over. Man I am laying t on thick. Anyways, I miss home and cant wait to see my wife, friends, and family over the holiday season. Take care and wish me luck when playing Shan on xbox.

Wow. very exciting news there Landis. I was beginning to wonder what happened to you.
It's always fun traveling for work. I went over to Madrid for a few weeks to hang out with our Modelers over there. Good times. Keep in touch.
