I’m in the sweet state of Tennessee. Nashville, the country capitol of the world. Too bad I can’t stand country. Everyone is really nice here, and I’ve never been called ‘baby girl’ so many times in my life. Most of Fiction is working up here for the next month or two, working on our sweet Tennessee accents. We even have a temporary townhouse which includes a mandatory work-out every afternoon. It’s cold here. Bone chilling, long johns under the jeans kind of cold. I can’t escape it.

Tomorrow is a big day. Mark it down. I’m finally buying a nice camera. Photography is essential to graphic design. Remember that. I’ve always been town between buying a nice video camera or a nice digital camera, and finally I can get the best of both worlds all beautifully packaged in one Canon 7d. I’m probably going to need to revamp this blog to fit big pretty pictures and some high quality video! Lot’s and lots of great stuff to come. Can’t wait!! In the meantime I got my hands on Chase’s Mark II for a hot minute and snapped this photo out of the jet window on the way to TN…

2009 is gone already?! Where does time go? I want to find that place and soak up all the minutes and hours that slipped by too fast…

Highlights:

- my trip to Rome

- Landing my 1st kickflip

- Receiving and riding my 1st Integrity Jenny Danger which I created the graphics for with a picture of my gorgeous grandma.

- 1 year anniversary

- Nor Cal Convergence 8 & 9

- 1st Place at Worlds & WakeGames

- O’Neill, Vans, & Pro-Tec

- Throwing my first event/gathering: Girls Ride Day

Lows:

- stolen car (again. 2x)

- saying goodbye to Poppy

- getting wrecked

I’m sure the list could go on & on. Pretty crazy I know so many great people that passed away in 2009. However, for every person I know that passed, I also know of a baby that was born…pretty impressive how the world goes round. It was a great year, and 2010 has even more to offer, most of which will be a surprise. Fiction’s headquarters is almost done being built and we will be moving in February! We’ve got our hands full with a new project, and got into lots of music goodness last year. I’m hope to keep pushing the women’s side of wakeskating in the right direction. Here’s to 2010!

FCTN.tv — 4th Quarter Update. We’ve added some new projects, don’t forget to peek at the Play section! It been a good month for music, Chase and Charles are blowing up. Check out all the music news goodness here.

DT.com, coming soon. I think it’s also about time for a portfolio update…since it’s been 2+ years and everything in there is school projects, hah. Let me just add that to my never ending list…

www.FCTN.tv

The new & improved Annalemma.net is live! I’ve been working on this site for a while now over at FCTN and I’m excited to see it up. Don’t just limit yourself to the new online content…get your hands on a copy of the print magazine as well. Looking forward to the next issue, and constant updates on the new site! Horray for unique stories and original content, we need more if this in our lives.

We just added some new goods over at FCTN.tv. Scope the new work, and don’t forget the PLAY section! Because everybody loves blogs. We’ve got a new building in the works, it’s going to be insane. Watch out Winter Park…here we come.

FCTN got new business cards. They are rockin’! Black foil on black 24 point paper with a soft touch finish. More photos at www.fctn.tv/play, I’m looking forward to handing these out!

Man, it seems almost as if I have fallen of the face of the Earth. My apologies. I had work to finish so I could leave town, rides to catch, poor car buying decisions to make. So this is where I have been, what I have been working on…after hours of final touches, we are live. Fiction 2009 : FCTN.TV. Don’t forget to check out our sweet blog as well. Oh and tell all your friends ; )

I was to busy hitting the pool gap the whole entire time to film, but I still managed to sneak in a few shots until I felt like a fish out of water and had to get back to the gap. So I didn’t really get anyone actually landing anything, okay maybe one or two tricks, but thats it. A lot of crazy things went down and you will just have to wait to see it. I believe Fuel TV will have some coverage of the event pretty soon. Until then check out Alliance Wakeskate, I just threw this together for Brooke to feed to the anxious wakeskate kids until they can get their eyes on more…

I don’t know why I feel the urge to throw some Spanish twist on The Projects, but I would rather call it Los Projectos. Sometimes I like to think Spanish is my first language, then I try to say things and realize I really only know 3 completely random and useless sentences. Oh well, maybe one day I will learn some more. Until then, enjoy this short & sweet video I just whipped up for Los Projectos…
