October 3rd

Today is my 8th wedding anniversary. While reseraching gifts, I found out that the traditional gift for the 8th anniversary is clay or pottery. In honor of that, I'm writing to a few people associated closely with those items. Five of whom are directors who have made movies and TV shows using clay,two of whom were in the most famous movie scene ever filmed using a pottery wheel, one of whom is the CEO of the biggest pottery store in the world, and the last one an actor who used clay as his stage name. (In case you are wondering, I already wrote to Clay Aiken a few months ago.)
