We are organizing a Wes Anderson Film Festival. A few years back, a group of Yankee Racers met online and watched the films of Wes Anderson together. We are doing it again and need your feedback!

More news:

• The gallery is back up and working. Send your images and scans to edwardappleby @ yankeeracers.org!
• The film scripts, press kits, and credits are now available in the library.
• In addition to the normal radio station powered by last.fm, we have added a second channel of music from our Academy Books Music Room (sponsored by Amazon).

And, don’t forget that the Wes Webicon contest is still on!  I will post some new entries later today.

I am alive. I just haven’t seen much news lately. See any? Report it, edwardappleby@yankeeracers.org.

We were thinking of putting out an online art/literary magazine, maybe the first to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Rushmore? Short stories, poems, art, etc. If you are interested, contact me.

Our group is really making a go at it over at Facebook. Almost 400 members! Join us.

Friend of the site Elaine, who is studying living abroad in France for a year, saw Mr. Wes Anderson at fnac this past weekend. She kindly posted some photographs on our Facebook group, which I have stolen reproduced here.

Vive le Wes!

We need a logo for our Facebook group. We would like you to design it. Send your logo (150 x 150 or so) to edwardappleby@yankeeracers.org. We will pick the best submission as our logo. No deadline, but we will pick one when it strikes us as ‘the one.’
