Day 073: Jandek's "I Went Outside"

Since he wasn't on the Internet yet in 2005 (he just started taking online orders for his CDs in June of 2014), I sent the Corwood Representative a DVD of this animation, hoping for his blessing. He wrote back: "Your film is superb. I watched it and thought it captivating and seems to reach all ages. I envisioned 5 year olds entranced on Saturday mornings watching it. It could be expanded to a 30-minute TV show." The Man From Corwood was prescient: in early 2007, the Bateman365 indeed DID become a TV show, "Scott Bateman Presents Scott Bateman Presents" on PlumTV. It ran for three episodes.
