Sweet Jebus, what is with the weather here? It's 50 one day, upper 80s the next, back down to 35 at night. It's no wonder people are getting sick at the office, and this time it's not because of a hangover.

Anyway, all I want to do right now is crawl under the conference table and pass out. Looks like Brian has the crud as well. In fact, it's pretty empty here in the meeting. Chaney is at home, waiting on some mysterious package. Chambers is at jury duty. Will is... waiting at home for some gutter guy to come over? On a Monday? Oh Will. You do know the Monday meetings are mandatory, don't you? I mean really, it's the one day every week you're supposed to come in. And here I am, doing your job once again.

After everyone is done mocking Will, we get around to mocking Jeph Loeb. "What the hell is a Bizarro Batman?" is Brian's main complaint after seeing a Bizarro Batman action figure in the latest Wizard. Brian then proceeds to show us an ad for some Marvel comic with a Rob Liefeld "illustrated" Captain America. He has such a tiny head. Why is Liefeld still allowed to draw for anyone?

On to business.

John's out slamming evil, or hindering due process. One of those. He's also working on Scion now that The White and Black Treatises left for the printer.

Brian got W&B Treatises off to the printer on Saturday and is going to print out the art notes for Lunars and go home and start a fire with them. He's then planning on curling up in front of the fire with sweet lady NyQuil. After that, he's printing the art notes out again and reading through the book, art directing it as he goes. He's also planning on getting the art notes for The Wyld this week and will be art directing that as well.

I'll be sitting down with Brian and going over Lunars as he's art directing to make sure everything makes sense (and to see the fun process of art directing and watch Brian go mad as he uses up all his Exalted artists on 2 simultaneous books).

Will's out. On to matt.

matt's art directing Damnation City if Will ever gets him the art notes. Oh Will. matt's also working on more adventure layouts in the same vein of Parlour Games. He's also roughing out some ideas for Scion layout-wise.

Ethan is, as always, working on Changeling.

Aileen's getting the final art in for Intruders: Encounters With the Abyss and sending that on to Craig. I believe she's got some other stuff on her plate, but suddenly I'm very, very dizzy and have to lay my head down for a couple of minutes.

Chaney is working from home today, while waiting for the mystery package. I'd let you know what he's working on, but his cell phone keeps breaking up and getting garbled.

During that time, Craig lets us know he's working on Intruders: Encounters With the Abyss and archiving since all the production people are too damn lazy to enter their books into the spreadsheet and put the dvd of the book into the archive. (Just kidding, I know you guys are quite busy.)

Aaron's over at Essen for the big Game Fair. I'm sure he's chatting with translators and getting them to buy him dinner every night.

Rich is still doing secret stuff and cackling madly over the phone. Or maybe it's just a cough. Could be one of Chaney's dogs that won't stop barking. I just can't tell.

That's it. Meeting adjourned.

Sorry it took me until 4pm to post this. I killed off a bottle of cough medicine before the meeting and actually fell asleep at my desk up until a couple minutes ago. So very tired.
