The Saints are Gathering to Missouri!! (..hopefully)




So after about a year and a half trying to eek out a meager existence in the harsh wilds of Arlington VA, one of the most expensive places to live in the world, I have a phone interview tomorrow at noon with Black Lantern Studios, an Activision game company based in Springfield MO! It would be for a Lead Artist position on an upcoming family-friendly title for the Nintendo DS, or 3DS.

It looks like I would be a perfect fit for the job, and am asking the family to keep us in your prayers please. We really really really REALLY want this job! -Heather has already been looking at houses there, and whatever the exact opposite of "sticker-shock" is, we are experiencing it! :-)

Thanks family!

Dave said...

Hey guys, nothing definitive just yet, (this week is E3, the biggest game convention in the world) and the studio head is there. I shot him a quick email, and he said "As a quick informal heads up, you'll be receiving some positive updates from us soon.

I'll be in touch!"

-soooooo promising, but the knots in my stomach remain!

Melissa said...

aaaaahhhhh, the suspense!

Heather Hemmert said...

Prayers of comfort and patience then? ..for all of us as we wait to hear? :) Love you David!

Ricki said...

Good thought, Heather!
