Golden Reel Awards: I'll Be Missing the Party

Brenna and Bob at the Golden Reels last year. Note the lack of shiny statue.One of the last TV shows that I worked on before we left Los Angeles last summer was the final season of "ER." It was a huge honor to have worked on the series, and I was lucky to be part of a great crew. We were recently nominated for a Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Award. That's a mouthful -- Brenna just calls them the sound geek awards. The ceremony is tonight, and I'm sad that I won't be there to dust off the tux and hang with my pals (banquet food aside). Brenna is missing the excuse to search out the perfect vintage gown. Good luck Walt, Darleen and Bruce. We both miss you guys, and hope you take home a shiny trophy.
