Robert Altman Dead at 81

Director of M*A*S*H*, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Nashville and many others, died Monday. I was lucky enough to meet him and have several conversations with him during the filming of Dr.T & The Women. Really cool old guy that really liked good tequila.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Who doesn't? Like good tequila that is. Patron Anejo is my favorite so far though I do like the Blanco too.

RIP Robert Altman.
