SAN MIGUEL WRITERS’ CONFERENCE QUINCEAÑERA (#51):

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to all, but especially my wonderful and lovely wife, my good friend and fellow character John Bohnel and his lovely Margaret, and to Susan Page & Mayer Shachter!  One year ago tonight, John and I filmed our last project together.  I miss you John!

To celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the San Miguel Writers’ Conference, founder Susan Page recreated the Mexican Tradition of the Quinceañera.  In Mexico, the Quinceañera celebrates the 15th birthday of a daughter and marks her transition from childhood to young womanhood.

This video was our gift to Susan to show our appreciation for the San Miguel Writers’ Conference, the Number One Writers’ Conference in the Western Hemisphere.

A year ago, John and I had a very busy two weeks.  On February 1st we filmed the Tom Paxton Benefit Concert for Caminamos Juntos and on February 12th we filmed the Celebration of Life for our friend and one of the original Cast of Characters, Jon Sievert.  Greg Reitman help me edit, but it was still a huge job.
