Success Stories: FEB'2 Shocked to be requested again!

Okay folks - I have to say, this is perhaps my most thrilling moment on Stage32. I did everything you could possibly do wrong for a pitch of my time travel project Continuum Force. And I mean EVERYTHING. My heart was in the right place and maybe that's what saved me. I don't know. I really wanted an opportunity to pitch to Damon Lane but had committed to the lovely wife I'd take her to Universal Studios Orlando for the Harry Potter Experience (She is a Potterhead). First mistake - I tried to skype pitch Damon from universal. I searched high and low at the park for a quiet place and thought I found one. No kidding, as soon as the call begins, screaming kids, Universal cast members blaring over loud speakers, someone starts singing behind me. Damon could barely hear me and I couldn't hear him that well. Second mistake - I let it rattle me big time. I'm panicked so I begin rushing through my pitch and I feel like I'm totally fubaring this thing, forgetting character names, major plot points, then trying to recover and making it all disjointed. I could have just sat there and read the written pitch and it would've been better than the nonsense I babbled. I seemed to start evey single sentence with the word, BASICALLY. At one point I just accepted defeat and told Damon, look I'm obviously butchering this thing, go ahead and just ask me any questions you might have about the project. Folks, when I tell you it was awful - I actually had my besties (and co-writers on the project), console me by telling me, "Well, at least now you know you can't do much worse." I felt so terrible about it that I actually emailed Joey and apologized for wasting Damon's time. I don't know if he put a good word in for me or if one of my ramblings sparked an interest for Damon but I was shocked to see I was requested! I couldn't believe it. Thank you so much Damon for giving it a look and thank you Joey for everything you do. BTW, folks. DON'T PITCH AT THEMEPARKS! :-)
