This Wenesday, September 3rd, is Candidates Night at the Guild. There’s a dinner from 6:00 to 7:30, and then from 7:30 to 9:30 it’s two hours of brief candidate statements and a Q+A session. I don’t know if the Guild is still accepting RSVP’s, but if you haven’t made plans to go and are interested, I suggest calling 323/782-4602 on Tuesday.
If you’re on this site, you’ve been reading what I have to say, but I highly encourage you to come hear everyone else. I’ve never met most of my fellow candidates and I’ve myself only decided what to do with about half my ballot, so I’m looking forward to this.
My own attentiveness to the Guild began at one of these off-year Candidates Nights, the one in 2000. There may have been more candidates at the front of the room than members in the seats. But listening to 16 members concerned enough about our Guild to make the commitment to run and to serve was the beginning of my education.

Welcome!
Hi. My name is Howard Michael Gould, and I'm running for the Board of Directors of the Writers Guild of America, west.
I've been in the Guild since 1988. I've spent about half my career in television, half in features.
I started this blog to let you know who I am and how I see the post-strike Guild, with more depth and specificity than the booklet campaign statements will allow. I'll try to add something every day or two.
I was on the 2007-08 Negotiating Committee. If you don't know me by name, you might know me from the speech I gave at the Convention Center on the eve of the strike. You can see it by clicking the box below with the picture of me sitting behind David Young.
(The rest are some other guy named Howard Gould who has more hair and apparently talks about oil drilling on cable news a lot. Blogspot and YouTube won't let you link with a picture to just a single video, so the best I can do is hope that he's stuck with my face on his blog, too.)
