HAPPY 53, ZANGIEF!!!

Just want to share some love and warmth with my furry Russian alter ego on this, Zangief's 53rd Birthday.

I was so hoping to bestow upon him the gift of announcement of the first day of pre-production for "Street Fighter Reunion" but we are right now at the table with our executive producer's company and Capcom as well as some of our additional investors to wrap things up and get all of these initial deals closed. It's exciting to finally be at this stage but frustrating as well in terms of the time it takes. We need to get the cast and crew on the set this summer so as not to have a repeat performance of actors enduring the cold while scantily clad and, as in Zangief's case, completely naked for long uncomfortable stretches. Not that I won't do that again in a heartbeat if I have to but let's get this thing happening this summer, okay?

So here's to you, Zangief,on your special day. Thanks to you and all your Street Fighter buddies, my life will never be the same!

Love and bear hugs!
