Those who care have probably already heard Henson and Sci-Fi teamed up again to create 10 webisodes of the TV show Farscape. The article I found today said, essentially, that they didn't yet have writers.

In speaking with Jo-Ann about this, I remembered dealing with a creative TV exec at Henson, once upon a time. Omar somebody. The name rang a bell with her as well, so I promised Jo-Ann I'd see if I had anything more, and she will then get in touch.

I searched my e-mails, and no hits. However, when I make my cold calls, I use a notebook, and a page for each company, and make notes as I progress through the endless door-knocking that is the life of a pre-pro writer. Searching through book after book, I grew more convinced that I'd recycled the pages after they bore no fruit. Then I checked my filing cabinet.

"Phone Logs 2001"

Waaay back when I had my first agent, Fred Price. Omar Camacho. Jim Henson Company. Phone number, notes, all the good stuff. A quick web search shows that Omar is probably now over at Nickelodeon, but I found the new TV person at Henson, and forwarded my findings to Jo-Ann. The number I have is not the general number, so with luck the number stayed with the office and will bear fruit. If not, there's always the switchboard.

In 2001 I made a contact. Six years later, I need the information again.

Now I know why I have a folder called "Phone Logs 2001".
